Yes, it's me, I'm part of the problem, it's me. Yet another person talking about Taylor Swift - but also Madonna and Shania Twain. open.substack.com/pub/touchofa...

I feel like this video about how ICE is becoming Trump's personal militia is essential viewing. I've also just spent time going to some museums in Berlin and it's hard not to make comparisons. Take a look: youtu.be/2Pwu5ZOnh1A?...
