I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Look I hate to invoke that TERF’s writing, but as Professor McGonagall once said, “His name is Voldemort. Filius, you might as well use it. He’s going to try and kill you either way.”

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

It’s why I never understood the “liberal bubble” thing of major cities. How are we in a bubble when we are CONSTANTLY mingling with people completely different from us?

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

I’ve seen quite a bit of Foundation across multiple seasons, and this show is about…nothing? In space?

I need Cecily Strong to make a guest appearance in SNL as Pam Bondi. The specific energy she gives as Jeanine Pirro is perfect to mock that senate hearing.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

They’re going to call us violent, doxxing, communist pedophiles if we quietly stay home reading all day.

Might as well publicly embarrass them when we can. Maybe shame a few of them into quitting.

The other day, I started writing for fun again for the first time in years, and it’s thrilling.

I’m really happy with how one of the poems is turning out. I had forgotten how good I was at internal rhymes.

I’m thankfully not looking for work at the moment, but I have not heard from a recruiter in AGES. Not a peep.

A year and a half/two years ago, I was beating them away with a stick.

According to trump, we can take people in the country legally and put them on a plane to another country without a trial.

Hakeem, chloroform him. Chuck, hogtie him. Nancy, put him on your private jet and fly him to The Hague.

If the president doesn’t care about the Constitution, then neither do I.
