look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Just seems like the world, particularly the US, is unraveling. Or maybe it’s revealing itself more clearly. Or both. Anyway, what strange times we live in!

Something I wonder about for real is what comes after this, whenever that is. Because it can't be this again, right? Like if this is what the presidency is now then we can't ever have another president

Time spent outside is so good for the soul. Enjoy this beautiful thread from Heather’s early morning paddle. Sound on to hear the birds!!
I got up early and took the kayak to a different part of the lake this morning. This is the Washow Bay drain, a little river that runs up into Lake Winnipeg. I thought it would be a fun change of scene. I was right why not join me on this 10 km morning paddle 1/

The goal of a broad anti-fascist alliance isn’t to agree on everything. It is to defeat fascism, so that liberals, neocons, progressives, and nationalists can disagree bitterly about everything else

Last week I was in a remote part of northern Montana and saw the most glorious intact shortgrass prairie. Blooming with carpets of prairie smoke and pussytoes, wildflowers everywhere, shimmering with butterflies. I kinda lost my shit a little - is this what the world looked like when it was new??

Why aren't people ringing the alarm bells about the violence that's coming? This country is a powder keg and our own gov't is waving a lit match around the fuse.
WATCH: Chris Hayes on the growing prevalence of “secret police” in the Trump-Stephen Miller era of ICE raids: “They’re usually masked—hiding their faces—and either wearing plain clothes or irregular uniforms. They won't give their names or say what agency they're with.”
