Realized you were referring to this exact photo id seen yesterday before scrolling down to see. Yes. Dog. Hideous. To continue to live here we must all become involved -- there are so many ways of doing so, many which don't require physical action or even leaving home or work.

Right, Stephen Miller, "I'm from Santa Monica, California—and I like guns." * The education at Duke & Columbia clearly didn't educate.
Hurrah for the conscious and conscientious schools. Save our children!
This is outrageous. (As if anyone who cares to read this news is not well aware We are reduced to saying the 'duh' remark in order not to just sit silently. Ad nauseum. Literally.
The looming 'remigration' threat is what is truly ominous. I'd say worse, but praying something so heinous hideous hateful hellish horrific ab-horrent un-human heart-stopping and hair-raising COULD NOT HAPPEN IN OUR WORLD .
Permanently. Permanently?? PERMANENTLY ????????

"It's so obvious to see that the fix is in."
Black graphic with a photo of Former Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland posing near a van that reads "Columbus was lost." The graphic reads "It is indigenous resilience and worldview that every government, country and community can learn from so that we manage our lands, waters and resource, not just across budget years, but across generations." This quote is attributed to Deb Haaland, 54th United States Secretary of the Interior.

'A lot of questions' are a very cunning DISTRACTION in and of themselves.
Gee, I dunno. From a kindergarten level of political savvy, I say . . . wtf do you think? Furthermore, omg, each tiny "WHY" (at every step of the way) is just another cobblestone impeding any forward motion.

!["lydiakiesling [via IG]: I have written for the NYT in various sections since 2014 and it was one of the most exciting moments of my professional life when I first had a byline with the magazine. Since then the paper has supplied the majority of my freelance income, because they are one of the few places that has money to spend and a single long magazine piece there can pay $10,000--almost unheard of anywhere else. In our denuded national media landscape something like 8 percent of American journalists are employed there. I say all this only to convey that, although I know it's craven, I wrestled with severing the connection to a financial lifeline that is known as "the paper of record" and also employs people I care about and respect across its many sections. But I can't pretend not to see the way the paper has played the role of stenographer for the IDF, or used language to emphasize the humanity of Israeli civilians while turning murdered Palestinians into faceless groups, or allowed Bret Stephens to treat genocide like a matter of personal sentiment.

Hideous. The Hideousness continues. Meanwhile, we are trying to halt it. We are making progress. Judges are standing up. New York City has elected a pro-immigrant Mayor. More Blue across the country. California fights, Portland fights, Chicago fights.
