Several buildings on my block, including the one I live in, are getting repainted at the same time. I wonder if it’s because the owners have all decided that the workers are probably going to be deported soon.

As a scrawny and not particularly attractive gay man over 60, I have acquired a new superpower: invisibility. Now I just need to figure out how to use it for good.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Here’s a thing: it has been 76 days since Trump last held a rally. Doesn’t he want to bask in the adulation of his devoted fans anymore? Doesn’t he miss them? Doesn’t he think they miss him? Why isn’t Trump holding rallies anymore? Is he tired, or scared, or both?

It’s profoundly depressing that the only contender for global supremacy against a formerly free dictatorship is a never-free dictatorship. I join everyone in celebrating the eventual downfall of the fascist US régime, but mourn the seemingly inevitable triumph of the fascist Chinese régime.
