Wakes up early, goes to sleep late

The ICE agent calling her a fucking bitch after shooting her and then denying her medical care sure seems like he wanted to murder her.

Hitler detestaba a los inmigrantes judíos. Trump, a los latinos. Ambos contaban con policías especiales. Ambos justificaron genocidios. Ambos ambicionaban anexar territorios ajenos. Ambos ignoraban el derecho internacional. Ambos representan la extrema derecha. Ambos son NAZIS.

The fact that we see her turn the wheel to the right means HE sees her turn the wheel to the right. It means he knew his life wasn’t in danger

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

The right wants us to believe that a teen who showed up at a Wisconsin rally with an AR-15 and shot three people is a peacekeeper who deserves to be celebrated, but an unarmed mom driving away from a Minnesota rally was a domestic terrorist who deserved to die.

@ByBellaArtist Happy to see you on the tl

“Abolish ICE?! You can’t just abolish a government agency,” they say after the Trump administration shuts down the Department of Education.

Right wingers: “Nicolas Maduro is a tyrant who murders his own people”

Also right wingers: “federal law enforcement has the right to kill any American who disobey orders���

@lulubeans42 It really was, even if the word we had in common this month was nadir. 😔

[Eric Camiling @ecamilingesq]

@lulubeans42 Honestly, now that I write that part about change and optimism, it kind of reminds me of some things you’ve said. Don’t be offended, but it may be that you and Parable offer some of the same appeal. 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, that’s why I like Parable, but as with everything, ymmv.

[Eric Camiling @ecamilingesq]

@lulubeans42 I also think it’s ultimately an optimistic work; the only constant is change, and it so happens that change is also the only God. As Butler writes,

All that you touch,
You Change.
All that you Change,
Changes you.
The only lasting truth Is Change.
God.

[Eric Camiling @ecamilingesq]

@lulubeans42 There is a strong message of recognizing and embracing differences, and recognizing useful qualities in everyone regardless of those differences. That always made more sense to me than sacrificing diversity to fit into a homogeneous society.

[Eric Camiling @ecamilingesq]

@lulubeans42 have borrowed from Parable of the Sower in some measure.

Maybe unsurprisingly, to me the book resonated the most when showing intersectionality and unity as necessary to survival. ‘Embrace diversity,’ Lauren preaches.

[Eric Camiling @ecamilingesq]

@lulubeans42 But I think Butler had a lot to say about many important facets of late-stage American society - e.g., economics, gender, religion - and did it in such a way that all the dystopia novels that followed in recent years (everything from the Giver to Hunger Games to Scorch Trials)

[Eric Camiling @ecamilingesq]

@lulubeans42 Pretty sure I read it in tandem with The Road by Cormac McCarthy - and it seemed remote enough in time (2026 seemed inconceivably far away, lol) and in social setting for it to be read as completely allegorical. Not so much these days, sadly.

[Eric Camiling @ecamilingesq]

@lulubeans42 What We Can Know was good…and kind of an interesting departure for McEwan (first sci-fi for him, I think).

LOL…not lying about liking Parable of the Sower. I first read it in the late ‘90’s when it was one of the first of the contemporary post-apocalyptic dystopian novels.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

This is Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's America.

[Justis Mosqueda @JuMosq]

They gonna have moments of silence at NFL games this weekend or do they just do that for podcasters?

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

MAGA is full of people with "don't tread on me" bumper stickers who think federal agents should be allowed to gun people down in the streets because they feel like it.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

And if there wasn’t video, there would be no way to counter ICE’s lies.

Keep filming.
