I’m at my kiddo’s “National History Day” competition for 6-8th graders. They are documenting, analyzing, and deconstructing gutting moments of human monstrosity through history and I am moved to tears - the youngs are awake

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

To Anzu.
You weren't good at laying eggs, which is the primary duty of a chicken, but you did have very pretty feathers. I'm sorry that rats dug into your grave and ate you. That was unfortunate.
I would say rest in peace, but alas. The rats.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

One of my favorite Jane Goodall comments: that “greed is the biggest problem facing humanity. All our problems come down to greed.” When I first read it, I thought it was an oversimplification and overstatement, I was ready to argue. The longer I live, the more I see she was right. RIP Jane.

How are people feeling NY Climate week this year? I’m seeing reports from friends that it’s a dystopian departure from climate goals AND that it’s unusually inspiring and upbeat. Likely depends on which room you’re in and how close to the leadership, but I’m curious of the community take here.

Climate change is a by-product of progress in the same way as obesity is a by-product of nutrition. For goodness sakes, it's the 21st century! We have the technology to enjoy progress without trashing the planet.

This right here. The right has poisoned the American brain. If you haven’t read The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis yet, do! It’s a quick and interesting read, and way way too timely.
the relationship between the people and their government troubled her. The government was the mission of an entire society: why was the society undermining it?
"I'm routinely appalled by how profoundly ignorant even highly educated people are when it comes to the structure and function of our government," she said. "The sense of identity as Citizen has been replaced by Consumer. The idea that government should serve the citizens like a waiter or concierge, rather than in a 'collective good' sense."
