- Kwesi was not perfect obviously, but I don't like people mis-remembering his record. It's fair to criticize his FA misses (Hargrave/Allen). But then also give credit for the hits: Greenard/Van Ginkel/Cashman. Someone said those were Flo's guys so he gets credit. Kwesi made it happen! That's his job!
- I am now radicalized.

- Catherine O'Hara as Moira Rose is one of the all-time great performances.
- Reposted by Ben LevAt least one of the newly released Epstein file is already down. This link no longer appears to work (www.justice.gov/epstein/file...) It contained an FBI email chain outlining an allegation against Trump involving sexual activities with a child. This is a screenshot from that email chain.
- (1/3) The thing I keep thinking about... One lesson I take from the Holocaust is that it doesn't happen overnight. It begins with dehumanization of the Other. Once people believe the Other is subhuman, then they don't care what is happening to them. They're being rounded up and shipped off?
- (2/3) Who cares where they're going... The government is taking care of the vermin. This is what's so scary about Trump, Miller, Vance, etc. "Haitians are eating pets." "They're not sending their best." "They are all criminals." This is painting immigrants as inferior and subhuman.
- (3/3) It starts with "illegals," but it has expanded to all immigrants because Miller et al don't want these people in our country. They are rounding them up in camps. My fear is they eventually decide deportation takes too long and start to consider other options to move things along quicker.
- Reposted by Ben LevSpeaking of children not being able to walk to school, ICE agents are snatching kids off the streets of Minneapolis (and St. Paul!) and parents are having to form patrols to guard against kids getting abducted at pick-up and drop-off.
- Reposted by Ben LevAfter being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
- If you want to help affected families in Minneapolis, please consider donating here. My brother works at this school.
- If anyone needs a light distraction from everything going on, here's my dog Sweetie sleeping like a person on the couch.
- I'm in tears after reading his parents' words.
- Just going to repost this thought from the other day. Evergreen.
