Also highly recommend The Hesse/Mann Letters from that same period, for insights into the experience of these two authors from before the war and through their exile from their home country. Another valuable perspective. One of the best books I’ve read. a.co/d/063Jo3gz
At this point I think it might be best to dissolve our entire government and reform it using random people chosen by lottery. We certainly could not do any worse.
Thanks so much! Very interesting article!
Sadly, it didn’t work for me. Thanks for trying.
May this serve as encouragement for all officials to start engaging here.

Sad when “spray-tanned drug-addled narcissistic fraud” applies to more than one person in our government leadership.
This is the moment when Trump must face the fact he’s NOT the sole proprietor of the US; he is NOT empowered to make decisions without consensus, rationale, or persuasion. Finally.

Let’s keep fighting lies with facts. Facts will ultimately win.

I’ve got a lovely story to tell you and many of you made it happen. Watch this— you will feel so much better about your fellow humans. Yes things are still shit but this is one bright spot and we should celebrate it.
Thank you to Bri, Chabeli, and the @19thnews.org for this wonderful group effort.
May it happen that the next Administration turns empty warehouses and other buildings into affordable housing, public libraries, public fitness centers, and training facilities.
So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.
We really are not a very good-natured country.
The courage of this man is impressive. The conduct of the Ukrainians makes me proud to be a human being.
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
If you haven’t heard Marimar Martinez’ brave testimony, it is worth your time. This is what real patriotism looks like. She’s speaking out and standing up for the values of our country.

The US "is currently holding more than 70,000 immigrants in 224 facilities across the nation, 104 more facilities than it had before Trump took office. Those detainees include children."

Oh my! Thank goodness Liam is going home!! Wonderful that he is being treated with such kindness and given some good memories to ease his return.

Personally I think this is too much money to give to Donald trumps poorly trained but heavily armed Militia
BREAKING: North Carolina students sue GOP officials to restore voting sites to the U.S.’ largest HBCU, and two campuses across the state.
The removals, which came weeks before the state’s 2026 primaries, were the latest from the GOP-led state election board to restrict voting in the Tar Heel State.
A brave stance from Neil Young: “Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president,” he wrote. “The president’s international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore his actions. If you feel as I do, I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon.”
