It’s only social cohesion if it comes from the Murdoch region of Legacy Media, otherwise it’s just sparkling diversity

Roland Barthes on the desire to ‘take a rest from language’:
Sometimes he feels like letting all this language rest—this language which is in his head, in his work, in other people, as if language itself were an exhausted limb of the human body; it seems to him that if he could take a rest from language, he could rest altogether, dismissing all crises, echoes, exaltations, injuries, reason- ings, etc.

Kidnapping a minor US citizen from a Target, physically assaulting him, and then dumping him in a parking lot miles away is not a training issue. "Better training" doesn't fix that. At a certain point, even the most moderate Dems need to understand that it is a policy of terrorizing minorities.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

You know, in a normal world, a Jewish programming director inviting a Palestinian author to speak would be celebrated as a positive example of this “social cohesion” thing.

But I guess it’s only “social cohesion” if an Arab woman is being battered and smeared by News Corp.

I chair the acquisitions meeting of @reaktionbooks.bsky.social, an independent publisher. We're open to unsolicited book proposals: history, art, music, film, food, animal studies and any great indefinable non-fiction book ideas you might have. Check out the list and get in touch.

I think, if you’ve been around long enough*, at this point you have an obligation to (i) know that the struggles are longer than any event or war, and (ii) spread messages that bias to resilience and long-term engagement and strength

Sex Workers Against Fascism
Close up of a black graphic on a white shirt. There is a illustration of a woman in fetish wear including gloves, corset, boots and a garter belt. She is holding a flogger and stomping on a swastika which is broken apart from the impact. Under the illustration is block letters saying “SEX WORKERS AGAINST FASCISM”

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

I haven’t (and most likely won’t) watch the recently released video but I swear I can hear that “fucking bitch” in my head clear as day. The snarling hate and disgust. Every woman has heard it.
