Mother Jones

@NewsDesk @motherjonesmag Some time ago, I attended an IETF meeting in Memphis, held at the Peabody Hotel. In one session, ending at about noon, the last person speaking was from Japan and a bit hard to understand due to an accent. Then, the daily Peabody Duck precession started. With the added background of a noisy brass band, it was impossible to understand what was being said at all!

Maybe ICE will arrest the ducks.

There is no return. It crushes me as I see so many hopeful for a "return" from where we are to some better state. Yes, I want that, too. But this line isn't a line one can simply step back across. There is no undoing this precedence. That America, if it ever really existed, is gone.
