It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

You know, it's tough trying to figure out the right balance of cute animal photos and screaming about fascism. It's so hard for a modern woman to have it all!

"Law enforcement" was always just "capital protection."

the thing is that there's a perfectly reasonable argument that the fundamental basis of America was enshrining everyone's God-given right to yell at the government, so I got to say that I don't respect this kind of thing very much

New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.

wouldn't it be fun if a handful of congressional democrats showed up at the Capitol and played Calvinball rules because it's becoming clear that you can just make shit up and people will go along with it

I just used a Good Pen for a boring note and then went to put Good Pen away so it doesn't get used up and then I remembered I can order myself a box of Good Pen and we all deserve that.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

they are really playing for “this is a white man’s republic” and that could have worked in 1995 but it just doesn’t play in america 2025. one out of every five americans is hispanic.

80 percent of children in schools were white in 1985. today it is around thirty percent.

I'm on campus all day so I just treated myself to a stroll around the park behind my building, where I saw one deer and many squirrels.

Over the summer I realized I really need Sitting Quietly Outside
Time every day, and then I started using that for Reading Time (well, first it was Get Slightly High Time) and turns out that's how to get yourself reading again.
