Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

Listen to someone who has been through it under Putin.
The image shows an X post by Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov) from 14 hours ago. In the post, he warns that critics, opposition groups, protesters, or anyone targeted may be labeled as extremists, Antifa, or left-wing terrorists. He suggests that laws on extremist speech and actions could be passed, with emergency powers invoked if necessary.The image is a screenshot of an X post from @BulwarkOnline. The post quotes Stephen Miller saying, "This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa...We are now going to use the entire force of the federal government to uproot these organizations root and branch." The image shows a group of people in a formal setting, likely a government office, with an American flag in the background and a person signing a document at a desk.

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.
