My Bsky account vanished. I don’t know how to rebuild. Everyone’s gone. Poetry, politics, Buddhism, dailiness, Earth… Reading Alice Oswald’s Spacecraft Voyager 1. It’s wonderful. Also Katherine Volckmer’s The Appointment. Terrified. You?

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

This is directly on the mark.

Democrats, dear God, rise to the moment.

Chicago Latina Shot by Border Patrol Survives, Lawyers Up “La Maggie” Martinez survived a federal shooting in Chicago. Now her attorney says body-cam footage shows the agents provoked it. The public deserves to see the tape.

Man, they rammed her car, swore at her, blasted her full of bullets, then lied their faces off about it to authorities & press.

An innocent young woman.

Sadistic, brutish, fascist, stunning, unaccountable, nightmarish.

LIVE: Gov. Pritzker speaks amid Trump's deployment of National Guard to Chicago YouTube video by MSNBC

Everything he’s saying is absolutely mind-blowing, and it’s unbefuckinglievable that he has to say it.

Every single person on American soil should hear it. It’s unprecedented. We are smack in the midst of a stunning historical moment.

ICE Arrested Me in a Hospital”: Chicago Politician Speaks Out
YouTube video by Terry Moran ICE Arrested Me in a Hospital”: Chicago Politician Speaks Out

Zero. Zero reason for her to be grabbed, cuffed, and arrested.

Just this one incident should be SHATTERING to every American, and nonstop news.

And things are considerably worse than when Moran posted this video.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

omg. They did it. TX sent their guard to Illinois.

One state invading another. No coordination with the governor; did not even contact the governor. abcnews.go.com/US/texas-nat...

ICE is now more well-funded than the majority of the world’s militaries.

And that money is being used to recruit, staff, and deploy people just like these two men all across America.

I wonder if we’re headed in that direction.

Gorgeous cover by Puerto Rican band Boyce Avenue, of the Manzano brothers.

Turns out Paul McCartney actually did mean his own mother, Mary, not the Mother Mary. And she really did say let it be.

Both Paul and John lost their mothers when they were kids.

FREAKING NUTS. A serious escalation of conflict between state & federal.

Includes info on Noem’s propaganda film of the Black Hawk attack on children, made to look like a thriller.

This is the Gov’s statement in Chicago.
