Every time I see this man speak it feels like a sunbeam: a sentence I never expected to say about anyone in politics (or, like. generally)

It's a quiet yet influential culture; if I had a dollar for every time I found out that a favorite entertainer or cultural figure was Canadian I'd be able to treat myself to a nice meal

I can only imagine being Canadian feels a bit like living next to a frat house that's always throwing ragers and getting the cops called on them and dumping trash in the front yard

and then every once in a while they complains that Canada's lawn is over 4 inches and in violation of HOA

Here are pics from the web showing the combined race-class focus & the pivotal role of labor unions in organizing.

This the model we need to rebuild.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children

They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to โ€œput your hands up, stupid!โ€

This is tyranny

These kids are traumatized

It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

This feels extremely goddamn accurate

Perhaps my favorite T-shirt ever, worn by a lad from New Jersey, simply featured an outline of the state and the text "New Jersey: better than lots of other states" and I respect a state that does not particularly need or want approval from anyone

Notes on Your American Canto Draft I read it. Everyone deserves a good editor, even people who donโ€™t get one. Olivia, Thank you so much for this. Iโ€™m impressed with the scope of your ambition...

Ok, however much you've thought about this Nuzzi business, I promise I've thought about it more.

When You were partying

The classics

Language of

metaphor

I studied

When you were having premarital

I mastered

While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity I cultivated

Syntax and verse

And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for help?

I'm reminded of the James Baldwin quote:

"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually"

Some peoples love of country is based in nostalgia for the past. Mine is faith in the future.
