Watching the basketball game tonight and it’s amazing how MS-13 has filled the United Center.

Every single person in there is wearing Chicago Bulls gear.

I’m a medical interpreter at a teaching hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Trump’s war on higher education, especially the I’ve League, has now become a war on the hospital where I work.
We are a high quality hospital offering top notch medical care to some of the poorest residents of Boston. Our CEO says we should be ok overall but it may lead to cutbacks in some areas.
Fascism has come home.

I brought home a couple of half gallons of cranberry juice from the shoppers club last week and two fifths of Beefeaters gin, and voila.
Who knew that cranberry and gin was a decent cocktail.

I’m reading James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom and it’s stunning how much the deporters’ rhetoric today echoes the slavers’ rhetoric around the Fugitive Slave Act. At times, it’s one to one equivalence.

I miss the old days when the Supreme Court was the biggest threat to our democracy. When was that? Three months ago?

While it’s true Polk doubled the size of the US and made the country a bicoastal nation, the Mexican Cession led more or less directly to the Civil War.

Which tracks, I suppose. Trump is certainly the most divisive president I’ve ever seen.

James K. Polk expanded the U.S. more than any other president. Now his portrait hangs in the Oval Office, a signal that President Trump’s ambition to take over Canada, Greenland and other territory is more than just talk.

I can't be the first person to notice that the priest of the Teutonic Knights in Alexander Nevsky bears a remarkable resemblance to Palpatine.
Nor that the celebratory musicians (who also played during the battle) are reminiscent of the band in the Mos Eisley cantina...

Anybody taking book on when China is going to occupy Taiwan?

Asking for a friend.
