...and in a very human contradiction, despite his atheism and lack of belief in an afterlife, still, he expected he might see his brother again after he died.

I wonder if my dad thinks that way about mom. I haven't asked him tho.

My mom's first yahrzeit is approaching and my 99 year old dad had a bit of a health scare. I was thinking about Maurice Sendak. I once heard him I think on Terri Gross talking about aging and death. He spoke about his atheism, his grief for the loss of his brother...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

/4 Is it offensive? Sure. Is it bigoted? Of course. Keep pointing that out. But also, keep pointing out that which they can’t stand to hear — it’s deeply weird. Vance, like the rest of the Curtis Yarvin gang, are deeply weird subnormals, not crafted to interact well with normal humans.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

This raid is disgusting, abominable behavior, traumatizing children and families in their homes.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

/2 The gulf is between people who think this is bad and think it is good. The gulf is between those of us who think the government shouldn’t treat people that way and people whop think we are stupid, un-American Marxists to think that.
