CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

It's not going to be long before ICE lines up people in the street to point blank execute them. The only question then is will there still be lies to win over their defenders. Or will that be when their lies aren't necessary anymore?

exactly. call it out exactly. Total contradiction. Never give a lie any semblance of a way out.

Do not tolerate the defense of these murders in any way. Obviously not with the rotten criminals in power & the brutes they've given immunity to terrorize. But this means also the "ordinary men" & women who support this even in some small way. There is no meeting murder anywhere in the middle.

fully agree. a slow-game, waiting til the midterms approach is not the answer. an emphatic no to ice and trump can happen now.

that is a murder - no excuses, no defending it whatsoever. there is no other side. any defense is not a defense. its lies and hate.

A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the “address” of books that have sensitive content.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Not admitting the cancelling of the grant made this worse, "tracking" storm devastation that happened days ago, offering useless prayers, & purposefully not including Murkowski in his post. Worthless. Thankfully our local govts & neighbors in AK are there in heart and in action.

Nah, it's been great. The audience knows it's a bit & that in the end the B&G Club is getting a fat check -plus it's actually working to shorten speeches. Meanwhile there's kids in the audience getting to shine & I'm pretty sure the Club's publicity will carry into extended conversations to come.
