This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Sadism Saturates Trump’s America The White House posted an AI-altered picture of an ICE protester under arrest, made to look like she was sobbing remorsefully. The episode reveals something deeply disturbing about the unrestrained sadism of MAGA and this moment in American politics.

I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza.

"Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”
