Little Notes of Hope

John Avery Whittaker, Artist and Inventor, on Threads: "My hyper-fundamentalist Quiver-Full parents (look it up) raised their 6 children to be a conservative army for Republican Jesus.  All of us are flaming woke treehugging commies now.  The "outbreed the libs" tack only works if your adult kids sign on to your program."(note from a different person) "I don't remember the names of half the guys I dated or hung out with in college. You know whose name I do remember? Dave Dolan, the guy who lived in my dorm sophomore year who saw me passed out in my room one night (I was an RA so I didn't have a roommate) with the door open and some guys he didn't recognize walking in. He escorted them out, tucked me into bed, making sure I was on my side, put a trash can next to me, and shut my door as he left. The next morning he checked on me. I remember him."

ONE MONTH UNTIL THE MIDTERMS!

  1. Got my hair cut this afternoon. Second time I'd seen the new barber. Asked what had happened to the previous barber, who I had been seeing for years because he understood how I wanted my hair cut.

    And was totally shocked. ICE has seized him and sent him to Albania. Depressing not just for him but for me.

    1. Albania? Holy shit! I'm so sorry, mostly for him.

      Your longtime barber is a bit close for comfort.

    2. Albania!?!! Yikes! Was he even from Albania, or is this one of those third-country situations?
      How horrible!! So much for them taking only "the worst of the worst."
      The Midterms can't come too soon!!

  2. ICE is an Intentionally Criminal Enterprise. The ghoul, Stephen Miller, gives them huge numbers of people they are expected to detain and they will grab *anyone* just to have another body to add to see the quota met. Susan
