tyrannies invert the rule of law. they turn the law into an instrument of injustice. they cloak their crimes in a faux legality. they use the decorum of the courts and trials, to mask their criminality. war criminals get rich and win peace prizes. advocates for justice get jail. time is not a river that flows inexorably to the sea, but the sea itself—its tides that appear and disappear, the fog that rises to become rain in a different river. all things that were will come again.

happy saturday. it's dark outside but it's still daylight. go with me to get some delicious apples of the sun.
