Happy 4th?

Tanks in the capitol and detention camps at the border—including special camps for kids. Might this be the time to fly the flag upside down as a symbol of distress?

Mini-rant for the 4th of July

Well, we're approaching another Independence Day celebration. This is, however, the first one in my memory that involves tanks on display and detention camps for kids. One can only wonder what'll happen next.

A tweet-sized rant

The latest bad news to break from the US border (that would be the one about the racist and misogynistic  Facebook group set up by past and current border patron agents in case another story just as bad breaks in the meantime) reminds me of a quote attributed to poet Maya Angelou:

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

I believe. Although it's not the first time.
