ICE Out!
Maybe they'll get the message in German.

A paper gutted, Book World shuttered, my marvelous editor out of a job, my assignments in the pipeline vaporized--to maximize a billionaire's profit margin. How I loathe this tech-bro parasite and the capitalist pestilence he embodies. #Bezos #WashingtonPost

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.

Don’t let up.

Turns out cosplaying as Himmler at the office party isn't a good career move. Who knew?

THE ONLY KING I REVERE: “The segregationist goal is the total reversal of all reforms with the reestablishment of naked oppression and if need be a native form of fascism.” - MLK, "Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos or Community" (1967). #MLK

Anti-Fascism, FUCK YEAH. #Antifascist #Antifascism

Ah, the obscure objects of intellectual obsession. How can you not love scholarship so devoted to something so microniche you can count its audience on one hand, a demographic synonymous with its only living specialists?

My feelings, exactly.

Great Moments in Post-Literacy: It's the match that lights the fire. You want a metaphor in which the match, having been lit, starts a conflagration. You know, like the proverbial spark in the tinderbox. Or the match in the gas tank. Or... Oh, never mind. Forget it, Jake: it's Idiocracy.

The objective correlative to the experience of watching cable news in Year 2 of the Unspeakable Horror of Trump's Fascist Kakistocracy.

The publisher's blurb describes Benjamin Fondane as "a metaphysical anarchist." Not quite sure what that is, exactly, but it sounds like something to be. #benjaminfondane #metaphysicalanarchy

People will say "What are the Democrats supposed to do? They're not in power!" And it's not about what they can do now, it's about what they should have done when they did have power.

Jesus.

Need to be careful about sharing photos, but these were taken by Chris Juhn, a photojournalist in Minneapolis.

You can find them on his FB page below. The officer is firing a pepperball.

The resident dean who was fired was given only ten days to vacate his housing. @harvard.edu is putting a Black family — with a newborn baby — out on the street because of comments opposing white supremacy.

Turned on CNN just to see what the what and there's Scott Jennings, "was no angel-ing" the mother of a toddler who got shot in the face.

NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE: On Jan 6 2021, a white-supremacist mob sacked the Capitol & hunted the “traitors” on their lynch-mob bucket list. Trumpism—a tribal bellow of white rage & reaction—was their common bond. History will revile them, Trump, & the GOP as a confederacy of dunces. #january62021

Maduro was a monster of authoritarianism. So is Trump. Exercising the rule-by-fiat privileges of a dictator to remove a dictator is a burnt offering to the God of Irony, not to mention a leading indicator of America’s slide into terrifyingly batshit, Idi Amin-level totalitarianism. #MADURO

Historical revisionism about COVID-19 and the public health response is now mainstream. The next pandemic will likely be even harder to manage due to a relentless propaganda campaign to weaken public support for masking, vaccines, social distancing, etc.

Portrait of Ashley Crawford: Sonia Payes

Utterly devastated to hear Ashley Crawford—cultural critic, arts writer, and founding editor of the hugely influential 1990’s cyberculture magazine 21.C and boundary-shattering World Art—died. He published my edgiest essays of the '90's and was a dear friend. Can't believe he's gone. #ashleycrawford

Marriage and the Maiden Name - JSTOR Daily While many women trade surnames they had at birth for their husbands’, some hold on tightly to the former, a tradition famously established by Lucy Stone.

“A wife should no more take her husband’s name than he should hers. My name is my identity and must not be lost.”
