I can’t stop thinking about all the hoopla over removing confederate statues and the phony appeals to β€œheritage.” But this is done without discussion. It was always about displays of dominance.

This total badass is the hero of our household, having dispatched a large rat that had invaded our home, fouled our pantry, and eluded the cat for nearly a week.

Grace may look dainty, but she has the soul of a hunter.

Our cat may never live this down.

It’s what secret state police do.

Which makes a compelling argument for resisting a police state.

The shit this regime is doing makes the grievances in the Declaration of Independence seem tame.

Not too long ago I had a dream where I was time traveling to visit 14 year-old me, who was giddy celebrating Richard Nixon’s resignation.

I laid down the hard truth that Nixon wouldn’t crack the top three in a list of the worst presidents of his/our lifetime.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

It occurs to me that Speaker Johnson and his partisans cannot plausibly claim to love America while virulently hating and slandering half the people who reside there.

On β€˜Coming Out Day’, let us remember that there IS one group that Jesus specifically told to stay in the closet: the sanctimonious.

The names they use among themselves are more fanciful, along the lines of "The Chinese Exclusion Act", "Jim Crow", or "The Big Beautiful Bill".

If heist movies are to be believed, con artists have colorful names for their various classic swindles.

I wonder what they call the one where you convince your marks that immigrants and minorities are responsible for their problems, but the wealthy and powerful are looking out for them?
