This really is the test of this moment and I think it's time we speak with clarity and demand our leaders do the same.
There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that.
No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

I saw a meme last night about a generational divide marker of folks who cannot sit through videos and want the words typed out because they read faster than they can watch a video and I felt that deep in my heart. I'm happy for folks who love video, but I hate them. Give me text. Let me read.
