This is the book that got me hooked on Toni Morrison.

A Ceasefire in Name Only The language of ceasefire has been repurposed in Gaza: It no longer describes a pause in violence but rather a mechanism for managing it.

Since the ceasefire was called, more than 420 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire. @mohamhawish.bsky.social dissects the language that has surrounded this period of reconstruction.

I wrote this #haiku years ago:

rollercoaster ride:
fear! joy! pain! love! up, down, down
up, down. trickster laughs

How I would write it today:

fear joy pain love
up down up down up
the sound of trickster laughing

That sounds wonderful.

This image is a 1913 newspaper clipping featuring an illustration of what the "last baby" might look like in 2012, based on predictions made by Dr. J. H. Kellogg. The article suggests that a decline in birth rates and social changes, such as women entering the workforce and fewer people marrying, would lead to a "neuter type" of human and eventually, the end of the human race. The picture looks like an alien fish baby

"The Last Baby Will Be Born in 2012 and, Worse, He'll Look Like This."

Advocates Warn of ‘Forced Labor’ Camp for Homeless People in Utah Designed to Enforce Trump Order
An advocate for the National Homelessness Law Center warned that the 1,300-bed facility could be a “pilot” to put homeless people into similar conditions to Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Any1 who thinks T built a personal army larger than most global militaries bc of illegal immigrants or is constructing a gulag to house them is delusional. If the midterms aren’t fair & a wipeout 4 MAGA, things are going to get very dark very quickly

There's no money in deportation. There IS money in incarceration

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

These are the locations where ICE has plans for warehouse-based jails.

This response from Judge Ana Reyes on terminating TPS for Haitian migrants. 👏

Secretary Noem complains of strains unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system. Her answer? Turn 352,959 lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight,” Reyes wrote. “She complains of strains to our economy. Her answer? Turn employed lawful immigrants who contribute billions in taxes into the legally unemployable. She complains of strains to our healthcare system. Her answer? Turn the insured into the uninsured. This approach is many things—in the public interest is not one of them.”

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

"What is within the power of each one of us is to focus, over and over, on smaller areas within our reach rather than on the entirety of our society."

Protestors march during a "Nationwide Shutdown" demonstration against ICE enforcement in Minneapolis.

"Of those participants, 38% percent stayed off the job, either because they did not go to work, or because their employer closed for the day of action."

One in four Minnesota voters took part in the January 23 day of action, or had a loved one who did.

You hold the door
between work & winter
like a clumsy canvas-edge thumbprint

"Oh, it's you," you smile
as if my glasses are so Clark Kent clever.
But I remember.

It is me.
And oh, it's you.

A bright full moon lights up a trail through the snowy forest to almost as bright as day.

Snow Moon on the trail just across from my house.

A blue sky ombreing from dark to light with scattered semi-fluffy clouds

Can you believe this is above us all the time, and we're still acting the way we are down here?

What it wasn't matched with was any enthusiasm on the part of the BC government (e.g. for treatment spaces) and it WAS matched with cowtowing to all the barely disguised just-say-no types

Those two names still activate my gag reflex

Na ich weiß nicht, Vancouver ist wirklich nicht so schlecht ...☔️🌦☁️

Maybe I should do that, too. Now what would they sign up for ...

"NBC News has learned that top Trump aide Stephen Miller held a meeting screaming at ICE officials to arrest more ..." Seth Meyers: "First of all, that's fake news. Stephen Miller doesn't scream, he emits a haunting shriek summoned from the depths of the Underworld."

Seen on FB:

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.
