Here to learn about Covid and politics from people who are better informed than me. I support Ukraine. I birdwatch and enjoy cute animal pics and stories.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed” basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again. i feel that with my dad.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Zohran Mamdani took New York City by storm last night, with over 50 percent of the vote — despite a torrent of corporate money for Andrew Cuomo. I was pleased to speak with the new mayor-elect just the other day about his vision for the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqU0DAjg0RA

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

Donald Trump doesn't *own* the White House. So how is it his to destroy? Shouldn't he have to get permission? This would be like a renter (who doesn't pay any rent) knocking down the wall to the next apartment to make room for a gilded hot tub.

To anyone who who hates what the GOP is doing to our country but thinks massive protests don’t matter: I’m afraid, too. Let’s find the courage within ourselves to keep resisting. The terrorists are counting on our surrender and hopelessness. You are not alone.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

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.

I am grateful for past presidents who honored our fallen soldiers with dignity and grace. Regardless of their political party affiliation, they upheld the solemn protocol that unites us in remembrance. Here’s to hoping we can return to that standard of decency and leadership someday.
