I think there’s a big difference between “all hope is lost” and “I have lost hope” and in climate it is really important to distinguish between the two. My personal feelings, your personal feelings are not the limits of our collective politics.

Thank you for sharing -- I really appreciate this analysis

I think one of the reasons there’s so much cognitive dissonance on the right about Epstein, child sex trafficking, and their own heroes is that they don’t think of the victims as real people. They view the abuse as an intangible evil but when real victims come forward they ignore and deny them

I’m a K-5 art teacher, and I’m constantly emphasizing to my kiddos how important and true and beautiful it is to see brush strokes and dents and mistakes because it shows that a human being made this thing. They’ve taken to calling out all kinds of human things as showing “the hand of the artist.”

Thanks for a beautiful and generous thread

Thank you for sharing, for your lovely, heartfelt candor.

Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,

Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,

Plodding to the ports and costs for transportation ...

Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship U.S. Citizens to El Salvador Donald Trump’s administration is talking internally about denaturalizing American citizens — and potentially sending some to El Salvador.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

I love this so much!

The Daily Heller: 'Damn It, They Can See the Pictures' – PRINT Magazine Four artists react to Sarah A. Boardman’s Trump portrait debacle in Colorado.

Portraiture "it is an investigation... of how the features + the nature of the subject connect. What she comes up with here is a rendering of Trump as a soft piece of fabric pulled around a cushy pillow. This is hardly a sensitive portrayal of a man who has in 2mo dismantled 🇺🇸 civil society..."

Thank you for continuing to speak about this

About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark
It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back

Thank you!

Thank you!

Beautiful, thank you so much.

Thank you for everything you did and continue to do.

We need our Henry V if we're going to throw ourselves unto the breach.

I will again point out that like "state's rights", "parent's rights" are not a thing.

Parents have authorities, not rights, when it comes to their children (and those authorities can be revoked).

Children have rights. Not parents.

It wouldn't surprise me if at least one text explicitly stated something about teaching a bitch a lesson. It's not that she's cute and they wanted a date.

You are a disgrace to your office.

The allegory, exactly this

So lovely

I appreciate that you wrote this down for everyone else who thinks that all might be lost, and I'm so glad it worked out well for you!

I have been hoping for this!

Thank you -- probably similar with AZ and NM pecans. Appreciate the response.

What about Texas pecans? I have seen flood irrigation there that seems particularly wasteful. Is this common? What percent of US grown pecans come from arid regions?
