We wants safety
Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump 10:05 AM - 23 June 2018 It’s
very sad that Nancy Pelosi and her sidekick, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, want
to protect illegal immigrants far more than the citizens of our
country. The United States cannot stand for this. We wants safety and
security at our borders!

Strange days. "Not since Washington has America had such a great and important president. Look on his work, ye whiners, and despair." That's a comment just in from a React Alert troll, serious shekel wielder, Wall St player, anon googtroll acct, ziomurican hasbara div.
Dude, we're not whining here. We're critical though. Oh and yes, we can agree on one thing. Amb David Friedman is a great patriot and every settler's friend!

the best way to carry a baby
Untitled [Dhaka]: photo by Muhammad Imam Hasan, 14 June 2018
What is it about this world of color and life and the living we find so strange, so threatening and wrong, so deeply, darkly, dangerously not-us?
Bermuda shorts stars n stripes ball cap senior guy in line at ice cream shop on Solano, will you die if exposed to it, as we were always taught about radiation after the blast?
Or is this perhaps what being born feels like, though we will remember nothing of what came before, except for a single word, and never be able to say it, and the look on your face, as you quickly turn away, and I shuffle past, tells me I ought to speak for myself?

I loved the Gaza City shot by the beach with the horses.
There are people who might get their meagre portion pity out of the box for the border protest shots - "Of course, there's pain on both sides..." - who need to remind themselves that what is happening is a human catastrophe and that these children who are being shot head out through the waves with horses in the heat.
Without those kids and their horses and their totally impractical fearlessness in the face of the Occupier and absolute refusal to accept the unacceptable, I think we'd be missing something, we'd not have an image, at least, an aspirational example, something to look to, beyond gain, beyond advantage, something to suggest humanity might have some value, something that proposes a possible way to live in an impossible world, not a happy way, but a way with perhaps a bit less of the natural shame that would should must attend all and everyone and everything "out here", now.
To get ourselves and our own clean somehow. To anything and anyone that would help us do that, now, for plainly we cannot do it for ourselves, we would offer encouragement, for our own sake as well as theirs.
How could we not.
