I often think about this memorial we have along the waterfront in Portland. It emphasizes the grave injustice we did to Japanese Americans during WWII. Congress formally apologized in 1988. The plaque on the right is written by Ronald Reagan. Worth a read.

It's almost as if a movement that began with lusty chants of "lock her up" in regard to the opposition party's candidate for President in 2016...combined with a refusal to honor the results of the election...has morphed into a cult of unaccountable, authoritarian power.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

That “raid” in Chicago is a dark story.

It’s a lot to process.

Yep, that’s what I thought when I saw the news. South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s... I read this and think, “Could building owner have driven this to clear out building?”

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

I spent the day looking at applications for licenses to deal second hand goods, which were required in Boston in 1839, and was struck by how many were on blue paper. Made from coarse rags dyed with indigo, they form a sort of class-based material vernacular. No rich person used paper this color 🗃️

People need to stop saying, "That's un-American" when the government does something horrible. We have a long and well-documented history of doing horrible stuff
