We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Bishop blessing an anchoress. Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 079, f. 96r.

An anchoress was a religious woman who chose to be walled into a small cell in order to live a life of contemplation and honesty…I can see the appeal.

The mister and I just finished our weekly grocery deliveries to ICE-effected families. Loads of college kids on winter break pitching in. It was lovely. ❀️

Purcell: The Cold Song (What Power Art Thou) - (Neil Balfour)
Purcell: The Cold Song (What Power Art Thou) - (Neil Balfour) YouTube video by Neil Balfour

What power art thou, who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting snow?
See'st thou not how stiff and wondrous old
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold,
I can scarcely move or draw my breath?
Let me, let me freeze again to death.

The woman sitting next to me in this doctor’s waiting room has not disengaged the texting sound on her iPhone and I am outraged.

I just can’t get past how fcking stressed out I’d be if I had a free-standing video monitor in my office with a live feed of Trump’s social media posts. These people are psychotic.
