Got a record player for Christmas and listened to some of my dad’s records today. Such a shitty year and such a nice moment.

It’s pretty sickening that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies are going to end 2025 in their leadership positions. I see the Party is not interested in actually winning only interested in lining their own pockets.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

We’ve got to use our voices and our bodies to protect our neighbors
“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

My grumpiest opinion has got to be that I am truly sick of people complaining about basic interactions with others around them. Oh the cashier said “hi” to you? Good. Idle chitchat with random people is actually social glue and an important ingredient in a properly functioning society.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
