the u.s. women’s hockey team should get to throw rocks at the u.s. men’s hockey team and also beat them with hammers and baseball bats i am so serious rn

I don't want to make light of the situation, but having the resistance movement against ICE galvanize around the killing of one person called 'Pretti' and one person called 'Good', while nearly the whole country is battling a major ice storm, is the sort of thing that would get a writer kicked out of the symbolism club.

Beauty and goodness, slain by ICE, as ice rains down around us all. Would be pretty hack stuff if it wasn't the truth.

mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.
