This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Even in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

Excellent. People are pissed. Now do something about it. Have you registered to vote? Do you have all the documentation you need in order to do so? Start planning now. Anger is good. Action is better.

He is correct. It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate. Causing debate and division. "Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.

Adam Kinzinger: 

From a friend:

“Am I keeping score correctly? Before the war Iran had 1000 pounds of uranium and the strait of Hormuz was open. And now Iran has 1000 pounds of uranium and the strait of Hormuz might open but with Iran charging a huge toll.”

I appreciate how Zbigniew Herbert frames hope without sentimentality. The heroes in his poems aren’t conquerors—they’re the people who refuse to become cruel. “we will keep for them in our trembling beaks a drop of love until the end of the world” -From “Composition With Birds” #poetry #resistance
Image: A mottled gold background with hundreds of tiny white brushstrokes clustering around the center. Title: Migrating Birds, 1955. Artist: Norman Lewis 

Text above image is a poem by Zbigniew Herbert:

Composition With Birds by Zoigniew Herbert
Translated by Alissa Valles

they encircled the world with barbed wire the heart beating behind the windowpane
but we my brothers will sing to them to the colored braids the square ribbons
beyond the crumbs and the round eyes and beyond the predatory alien fingers
we will keep for them in our trembling beaks a drop of love until the end of the world
