"When a country is led by people who wear the cross but who have lost the plot, the end times really are at hand. Theirs, not ours: Vietnam weakened an already corrupt president, and we all know how that eventually ended.
With answered prayers."

My dear American Muslim siblings,
I'm so sorry that you're being subjected to so much ugliness here, in your home, & that there's so much horror in so many places across the Muslim world. I wish your holy month were filled only with peace, groaning Iftar tables, & joyful hearts. I'm so sorry. β€οΈ

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

This Samuel Huntington quote helps make sense of Rubio's call to arms: "the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do."
Another headline to rewrite: "Money meant for starving children used to provide security theater escorts for OMB Director."
Thanks for the unexpected laugh.
That you find windmills beautiful isnβt a surprise. Neither is your not understanding him.
Whatβs funny is imagining that this might be one of his main problems.

I am not moved by these spineless politicians who have finally bestirred themselves to condemn todayβs blue-plate special.

We made a special episode about the damage being done to public mental health here in Minnesota. Even if you don't live here, it's a bracing look at the dangerous position we're in, what we stand to lose, and what our community is doing about it.
As historian Elizabeth Gillespie McCrae has put it, white supremacy does not just reproduce itself spontaneously...it requires the actions of "constant gardeners" like our current President who renew and reinvigorate it with actions like these. His actions have major consequences, he's not a child.
Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. Thatβs why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. Itβs also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
