We discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all...that life at any price has no value whatever; that life is nothing without the privileges, the prides, the rights, the joys that make it worth living and also worth giving...

A cardboard cut out of a jack Kirby, drawing of the character, Captain America. The cut out is on the side of a comic book store.

It’s my wedding anniversary. I never thought I’d marry or even have a bf. I asked Andy if it was okay if it was -or I was UNromantic to go on the road today and he said “every day is the anniversary of how great our marriage is; just come home.”

Imagine the sadism necessary to be an armed federal agent, under no threat whatsoever, willing to shoot a priest in the head.

ICE is “a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers.” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

we don’t have TIME to wait for you to meet all the different kinds of people to learn that everyone is just a stack of meat with a brain on top and the sausage casing isn’t the POINT. it’s some part of identity but it’s not the point. Round up your acceptance when you meet one “not you.”

But he’s exhausting in the fact that he seems to only be able to learn empathy one person at a time. To love a person who isn’t white can teach one that non white people are people. To have girl children can teach a man to value girls as people as well. But .. sigh..

dear fellow whitey magooz: dude variety. someone asked me “what i thought” about a dude comic who “seemed to have grown up so much” since he married had a kid in his 50’s. Vaguely, I say YES he - much like most people - is a better man than when i met him 20 years ago, but still not a good man.

I mean, obviously.

The correct thing to do when DHS or ICE or any of these thugs makes a claim like this one -- the only thing to do, really -- is presume they are lying.

Because they always are.

They are state-sponsored Klan members, and should be treated accordingly.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.
