“I’m hearing that everyone saw this coming all the way back to Abu Grahib.”

This is Lurie's San Francisco: Mission Cultural Center closing. CCA closing. Thee Parkside closing. All the actual arts institutions and artists are being swallowed into the maw of real estate speculation, but at least some bureaucrat will get $250k to oversee the whole thing.

¿De qué época toca sus obras?

We're in the "moment of the whirlwind." Things are happening. People are organizing all over the country. It's outpacing organizers' capacity to plan or coordinate. We are becoming ungovernable. Let it rip.

Keep the pile on to get Noem and Miller out. Keep the demand on the Democrats to abolish/defund ICE and shut down the government until ICE funding is rolled back. End the deportation machine.

I was exposed to these theories in the book This is an Uprising by Paul and Mark Engler, and again in the Freedom Trainers non-cooperation training. We are at the moment of "defection of pillars of support," where other institutions that the regime needs are wavering.

The cracks start showing early before we win. I think that's what is happening now. We're seeing lots of signs that the regime is at the limits of its coercive power. People are being provoked to greater courage and solidarity instead of being scared.

I think it's entirely possible that when we topple the fascist regime currently running the US, and we will, we will look back on the beginning of 2026 as the moment when the tides turned.

In social change, the oppressor rarely admits defeat and collapses entirely all at once.

At the coffeeshop this morning, I gave my name Nato and they announced it as "Beethoven." That's a first.

I’m gonna say it and I don’t care if I get cancelled: the French horn is a dumb instrument. It sounds like a trombone that doesn’t believe in itself.

AFGE Demands Resignation or Termination of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller for Smearing Slain AFGE Member Alex Pretti as “Domestic Terrorist” The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union representing 820,000 federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas.

Alex Pretti was AFGE Local 3669 federal employee union, VA hospital. His union 820,000 members now demands Noem AND Stephen Miller resign or be fired. They're naming Miller as "architect" of the policy that killed their brother. Labor. Faith leaders. 120 Democrats. Cracks forming.

Brass bands always make it better.

I disagree. There are always possibilities.

When will he resign? The only question worth asking

This is a good essay that poses an interesting question. If we want to force Trump out, we should begin making the demand and repeating it again and again. The world can't wait for '28.

FOLLOWING THE NEWS OF YET ANOTHER FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS, A CITY THAT HAS BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICES, NBA PLAYERS CAN NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT. NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE MUST DEFEND THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE IN MINNESOTA PROTESTING AND RISKING THEIR LIVES TO DEMAND JUSTICE. THE FRATERNITY OF NBA PLAYERS, LIKE THE UNITED STATES ITSELF, IS A COMMUNITY ENRICHED BY ITS GLOBAL CITIZENS, AND WE REFUSE TO LET THE FLAMES OF DIVISION THREATEN THE CIVIL LIBERTIES THAT ARE MEANT TO PROTECT US ALL. THE NBPA AND ITS MEMBERS EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES OF ALEX PRETTI AND RENEE GOOD, JUST AS OUR THOUGHTS REMAIN FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. NBPA

The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis:

“Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”

Make no mistake, we are now seeing white American citizens being murdered by law enforcement because we never truly addressed the way our law enforcement treats Black Americans.

If we do not help each other, it’s only a matter of time before we all lose.

Our liberation is tied together.

Hey Norman DM your email. I know someone looking for an actor.

I don’t usually do sex jokes, but when I do, they are also political.

I had an allergic reaction (to IDK what) and my face swole up like acute Mar-a-Lago face and i ended up in the emergency room yesterday. They pumped me full of stuff and I'm back to normal now but it was very unpleasant for awhile.

As many as 1500 detainees at the Dilley ICE camp have erupted in protest.

Lawyers were kicked out amid chants of: "Let us out! libertad!!"

Detainees say ~80% are rebelling, motivated by the news from Minneapolis, the general strike, and the imprisonment of little Liam.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

We will win. When we do, we can expect that a lot more stories than we already know will come out about the atrocities the regime has committed. We will need to be very serious about accountability and justice. A root-and-branch process of deMAGAfication of the US.

🎶We get there together or never get there at all🎶

Read the whole thing. Read it again when you’re sad and scared. Building a new world in the belly of the old.

THIS is IT.

Community wins.

Also the continuing aftershocks of the murder of a social worker at SFGH.

Also we just won a PERB case on how SFGH manages ER diversion.

On top of the national/international horror show. It's too much to process at once and my body shut it down.

In 2020 we took 3400 workers on strike at Alameda Health System in part over demands on the County to change the governance. This week we finally won with the AlCo Board of Supervisors voting to make themselves the governing board.

Also AHS is threatening 300 layoffs because of medicaid cuts.
