The Earth is also terrible, and dark, and cruel. The rabbit shrieks dying in the green meadows. The mountains clench their great hands full of hidden fire. There are sharks in the sea, and there is cruelty in menโ€™s eyes.

The depth of his hate for disabled people is and always has been breathtaking. Itโ€™s born of an arrogance Iโ€™ve rarely seen-he believes that he is some kind of ubermensch, and the only way he could ever become disabled is if some insidious conspiracy did it to him.
Evil, evil man.

itโ€™s so wild when you read Black theorists all throughout the 1900s literally predicting all of thisโ€ฆ you cannot maintain a white supremacist, patriarchal state without those same genocidal logics being visited on its own peopleโ€ฆ itโ€™s only a matter of time.

Liamโ€™s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything heโ€™d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

Honestly, I think the first thing Democrats should do is remind Americans that DHS and ICE didn't even exist until 2003. It's not like it's a long standing institution that must be preserved. It was created in the wake of 9/11 to combat terrorism and it's exceeded its mandate. We don't need it.

Iโ€™m biased, but I usually want to hear anthropologists weigh in on most topics. Often something will hit the news (Venezuela, weight loss drugs, rare earth mineral mining) and I want to know what someone whoโ€™s been living that topic for years has to say. Anthros are good for social media like that.

Good question. It would be great if we could find some ways to rebuild some of those networks (while also avoiding what happened with Twitter in which it could all be destroyed with a change in ownership). Many anthros are on here...it's a matter of finding/creating ways to bring folks together.

@dramandar.bsky.social #CryingLaughing listener (and fan) here. Hi! And HNY! Did you publish your end-of-year top 10 lists (yours and Ariel's) somewhere (e.g. on a blog somewhere or other social media)? Thanks for the fun and good work you do on this podcast, and for Severance as well.

A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

Two Americas.

Queer and trans immigrants allege forced labor and sexual assault in Ice facility: โ€˜I was treated worse than an animalโ€™ At the South Louisiana Ice Processing Center in Basile, detainees say they were forced into hard labor โ€“ and sexually assaulted and stalked by an assistant warden

Renee Good, who was murdered in cold blood today by ICE, was a queer woman. June "T-Rex" Knightly, who was murdered in Portland, was a queer woman. The ICE detainees who were sexually assaulted in Louisiana are queer women and trans men.

A sunlit view overlooking Raglan Harbour (Whฤingaroa) with calm water reflecting the early evening light. Lush green trees and ferns frame the foreground, opening onto the wide inlet. In the distance, rolling hills and mountains sit under a layer of low cloud, softly illuminated by the bright sky. A bridge stretches across the water near the horizon, adding a small human element to the otherwise natural landscape. The overall scene feels peaceful and expansive.
