literally the regime is terrorizing and disappearing people that it absolutely will not "live here" with, who it doesn't want to seeing living *at all*, so for Klein to adopt this language is active collaboration. he'll never have to muss a hair but he's as much ICE as any other goddamn thug

I think it's more the case that baseball is an individualist sport. Everybody's basically his own offense, everybody defends his own position and has to know its particular set of moves and angles. The better you are at the game the more self-centered you're likely to be, necessarily

also: resisting temptation for ethical reasons is good, actually! it means you're someone who honors your ethical commitments! people who pretend you're unserious because you've given up the use of some shiny but destructive gadget are moral idiots

the moment of not knowing how to get from one thing to the next is precious to art, and these fucking LLM people want to rob me of it

where do people like this think creativity happens? it happens IN the transitions, it happens in navigating through all the difficult bits; the pleasure of creating is inextricable from the difficulty, it's all one cloth. you deliberately conflate that with rote productivity then you have no soul

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

the cool thing is that Harris's career from this point forward is just a narrowing circle of fundraising grifts and "remember me?" attention grabs until she meets her inevitable end as the punch line of a joke nobody remembers to tell

Great thread on the social geography that underlies the ICE assault on Chicago

In my darker moments working Chicago’s ‘20 Uprising I mapped it out in my head, an arc along the western edge of town where the murals would go: YOU ARE NOW ENTERING FREE CHICAGO

Before you comment on anything we report today, please look at this map. Internalize it. Then look at it again.

ICE activity is happening in a ring of fire around the city proper right now, in less dense areas that are heavily disinvested, with few local media to cover quickly developing events.

The scumbags who forced this sweet child to spend her final hours in agony and terror while using her as bait to kill her rescuers are walking free, allowed to travel the Western world on holiday or to fly in and out of their actual countries without repercussions. I can’t say what I truly want.

it's a metaphor for being cooped up with Byron, Shelley and Polidori and wanting to chop them into bits and then reassemble the bits into someone who'll have to listen to you

I think a lot about the persistence of indigenous memory across great spans of time, of the consciously maintained memory praxes that would have sustained it, and then I think about the disappearance of nitrate film and the brittleness of digital storage

The Obama administration did this type of organizing against the indigenous Standing Rock protesters, Ferguson, and Occupy - because he got away with it, Trump is now getting away with it.
