A lot of people don’t know that Ashley Furniture is named after Bruce Campbell’s character in the Evil Dead franchise.

I don't want higher insurance prices. I don't want AI. I don't want a ballroom at the White HOuse. I don't want dictatorship. I don't want ICE ar the military rousting people in our streets. I'm so negative.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare.

But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there.

Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked β€” what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers β€” what would we say?

Authoritarianism β€” let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Libraries are so cool. Whenever I'm away from home and need a place to hang out between things, I find a library. There's a bathroom, a water fountain, chairs, and I can read, meditate, use the computers, or just be, and no one tries me make me buy anything.

I never feel more saintly than when I put a pristine copy of a desirable book in someone’s little library box.

"The next thing was to eat the comfits: this caused some noise and confusion, as the large birds complained that they could not taste theirs, and the small ones choked and had to be patted on the back."

Heater stands on the back of the couch, staring at the phone without shame. She is a little orange cat with littler white mittens.

I’ve never eaten macaroni and cheese in the same room as Heater.

She came over, looked in my bowl, sneezed into it three times, and then stole a single macaroni.

πŸ”» It’s not Trump
πŸ”» He can’t do it alone
πŸ”» It’s the entire GOP
πŸ”» It’s state & local politicians
πŸ”» It’s corporations
πŸ”» It’s the media
πŸ”» It’s the super rich
πŸ”» It’s the fascists
πŸ”» It’s those who give in
πŸ”» It’s those who give up
πŸ”» It’s those who don’t bother
πŸ”» It’s those who look away

A reminder that not all Latinos have a specific look. We come from multiple backgrounds and given that our Spanish heritage includes Muslims and Jews and that the Irish fought alongside the Mexicans, anybody is a Latino to Trump's fascist minions. So don't think you are safe from them. You are not.
