I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

The deafening silence of space policy people (or space journalists) on this is bizarre. He's a straight-up white supremacist, and we're still talking about "Elon's plans for Starship" or "Elon's take on space colonization" without a thought as to his core beliefs.

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

it takes a real management genius to cut both your sports and culture teams a few days before a sporting event hosting the biggest cultural moment in recent history

Cassavetes directed some of the best ones (I would nominate HUSBANDS) but also brings tremendous levels of this energy as an actor (I would nominate Elaine May's MIKEY AND NICKY)

A drawing of an anthropomorphic goat and sheep, the goat is saying β€œTHEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE FORCE OPPOSING HOPE IS DESPAIR. THE DESPAIR WE FEEL IS MANUFACTURED.
AND WHAT HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED CAN BE TAKEN APART.”

I’ve put a free printable PDF of the below image up on my website (from the comic β€˜Goat and Sheep by the Well’). Print it out and staple it to a telephone pole, tape it up on your wall, etc. www.joshuawcotter.com/jwc-comics-a...
