Iโ€™m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War youโ€™ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven:

โ€œWe will not get bored," Trump said on Monday, minutes before talking about how beautiful the White House drapes are.

I think the bigger security risk is the gestapo she runs that murders people for standing in the street and kidnaps children to put them in concentration camps. But sure, if the shoe thing gets her shitcanned, do what you gotta do.

Remember when we were exhorted to "live, laugh, love" rather than "survive, sublimate, subsist"?

This is hilarious and very well done. โ€œEstrogeniaโ€ is a brilliant name, although it does sound like a new brand of the pill! The whole short film is here: youtu.be/dxpjzOLVRR0

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

radical online collections and archives I am very interested in the growing amount of radical literature from around the world that is being scanned and digitised. As there are so many and from many different places, I thought it would bโ€ฆ

Nearly 10,000 *online* and *open access* collections of radical, labour and anti-colonial historical documents are now listed.

But always looking for more!

If you know of any collections not listed, please get in touch.

Legendary founder of NPR programming Bill Siemering is enjoying Zoom visiting with students so much that he's asked me to put a second call out. No honorarium necessary. Any takers?

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

๐Ÿ”ฅ โ€œTo me, when we're talking about what justice looks like, it's ultimately getting to a place where every single fascist agent and the leaders that directed them to do what they did are held accountable to the highest degree of the law. And that means prosecution.โ€
