I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Progressive policies improve people's lives. Centrists policies cater to the whims of the rich. Progressives protect civil rights. Centrists prey upon civil rights.

D&D bards should have a “montage” power, where they can play an ‘80s-style banger that lets listeners massively train up their skill levels, which then last just long enough for the big fight at the end.

Trump threatens war with Iran; Hegseth has plans for an invasion of Greenland. Trump has effectively invaded Los Angeles and a California senator was manhandled in his own state for asking questions. Foreign-born legal residents are being kidnapped and deported. THIS ADMINISTRATION MUST GO

This is one of my favorite things about Tolkien. It is so open. He gave us so much to play with (other hand and hearts and all that). Reading his changing versions reads like real history- different points of view of the same events- it’s fun!! TROP is another version of events it’s gorgeous!

Book 5 ch. 1: I actually laughed out loud at how every time Gandalf shows up somewhere, the general response is, "Oh shit, Mithrandir is here! We must really be in the shit now!" And Gandalf's response is a never-reassuring, "You are indeed! More than you can even guess!" And everyone's like 😮😬

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

I've been thinking about this C.S. Lewis quote for the last few days as we head into some dark times.

Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice. Human culture has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would have never begun. We are mistaken when we compare war to "normal life." Life has never been normal. Even those periods we think most tranquil, like the nineteenth century, turn out on closer inspection, to be full of crises, alarms, difficulties, emergencies. Plausible reasons have never been lacking for putting off all merely cultural activities until some imminent danger has been averted or some crying injustice put right. But humanity long ago chose to neglect those plausible reasons. They propound theorems in beleagured cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffolds, discuss poetry while advancing on the walls of Quebec, and comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache; it is our nature.
— C.S. Lewis

What kind of US will we leave the next generation? Your choices are ‘tune out & relax’ for white nationalist faux-Christian fascism that only benefits the rich, or ‘speak out & fight like hell’ for an inclusive republic where the rule of law matters. Pick a side or it will be picked for you.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes
