if only those who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs knew that one day one might go to Margaritaville before Wuthering Heights

Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for your tireless efforts to protect families harmed by family detention. Juan needs medical care, safe housing, access to nutrition and a nurturing environment. Detention and deportation without due process is cruel and wrong.

The 2-month-old baby in ICE detention was so sick he was hospitalized and unresponsive last night. Despite that, today, he and his entire family were deported. Now we don’t know where they are or if the baby is receiving healthcare.

Me: I read Wuthering Heights last month so I'd be ready for the movie but now I don't really want to see the movie because it doesn't look at all like the book.

My psychiatrist: I meant any problems with your medication

Okβ€”I have been doing my #LastMan200, and I’m up to chapter 5! I have the edition with the Solnit intro, and reading up to this point, I’m a little confused by her disappointment with the female characters. They seem kind of fine to me! Certainly less out of place/time than riding a horse, haha

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate β€” overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialismβ€”the sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisisβ€”despite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present.

The people of the Americas live on: seguimos aquΓ­.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Washington’s Corruption Has Created Another Humanitarian Crisis in Puerto Rico The island’s earthquakes are its latest man-made disaster.

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisisβ€”and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.
