It takes a lot to heal in a broken world that wants you to pay with your life for every cure. #vsscreative

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

1000% agreed. This sort of shit is unbelievably bleak, and we already know what the man himself has to say about it.
Hayao Miyazaki discusses machine generated art with an excited team, who are crushed when he tells them it disgusts him: “I strongly feel this is an insult to life itself”.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

I wrote you a poem this morning.
Everything is Terrible So Here’s a Picture of a Tree

Everything is terrible so here’s a picture of a tree
here’s a picture of a cat
I’m sorry for sending you a picture of a cat when everything is terrible
No, don’t be, please
I want the pictures of cats
of trees
Maybe it’s me who’s irresponsible, wanting those pictures of trees
of cats
when everything is so terrible
No, it’s not
It’s not irresponsible to want to remember the fragility of a leaf
and its power too
the way it buds and grows and changes color and falls. The way it feeds some and shelters others, all while powering something mighty, with such deep roots
It’s not irresponsible to want to look at soft warm fur, and imagine pressing your face into that softness, or to contemplate the miracle of toes spread wide in pleasure, or smile at some small naughtiness captured in pixels
You send me these things because you love me.
And I send them to you because I love you
yes, even if I don’t know you
I am sending you this picture of a tree, this picture of a cat, because I love you and I want you to know that you are loved enough for me to want you to remember trees
and to remember cats
even when it feels wrong to do so.
Let us both remember that trees have roots that dig into the earth 
and branches that reach to the sky
even on the worst days.
And cats—
cats especially—
for they are famous for enjoying the soft caress of a friend one moment
and turning into a ferocious ball of claws and teeth and bristling fur and indignation the next
as must we.
So send me your pictures of cats
of trees
And let us both save our apologies for what we cannot do
instead of what we can.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.
