How long before we must simply assume that, if we are approached by ICE, we must protect our lives and our property at all costs?

Pray you once more,
Is not your father grown incapable
Of reasonable affairs? Is he not stupid
With age and alt’ring rheums? Can he speak? Hear?
Know man from man? Dispute his own estate?
Lies he not bed-rid? And again does nothing
But what he did being childish?

Some people use Substack to navel-gaze. I use it to inflict my Star Trek hot takes on the navel-gazers. We're not the same.

How many of these rulings is it going to take to get congress to do literally anything?
A Reagan-appointed judge declares there's an “unconstitutional conspiracy” be/Convicted Felon Donald Trump & Cabinet members to “deprive people of their rights."
I've got the scathing ruling, incl. that federal agents are masked to "terrorize Americans into quiescence.”

Democrats have been given chance after chance to be the heroes in this situation. Secure their legacies for generations. But time after time, they've chickened out.

Your local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre.
A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>.
This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

Substack seems determined to subject me to people who mourn the decreasing popularity of "the classics" and literary fiction in general.

There is magic waiting to be uncovered in these darkest of days.
It is our invitation to remember and honor the light, that is returning.
