Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.
TEXT: Out on patrol with two friends this morning and I kept seeing the beautiful web being woven in Minnesota right now. Not with new materials but woven with wisdom into what was already here. I could feel this net with my hands, this connection as we passed that group of three on the corner of Cedar and Lake, this connection as we listened to someone doing dispatch while their kid yelled in the room behind them. I thought of this today stopping by a locally beloved Mexican restaurant to grab some food for the family and having the owner step up with tears in his eyes and reflect on how much they feel cared for and then the security guard stepped over and asserted that this is what we do, we care for our own. He said, tell people we have them, we've got them and we will keep them safe. All of the worst stories you read are true and there are more of them than what shows up on social media, but there is also this, everything I am writing here in the same morning, driving over to northeast and a junior high has just done a walk out, they are lining a major road in their "are those pants they look like pajamas" clothes and all are holding signs and I am on the phone with someone and I burst into tears when I pass them. This is a net and I remember this very old fishing net someone showed me years ago, guiding my fingers to feel where the net had been repaired over and over again, like scars in the fibers that strengthen rather than break. ICE is sharp, knives that cut with small knicks and sometimes great full arm thrusts that shove and tear through this connected set of scars and fresh material and there are wounds and this is violence and some of you beloveds are being stopped on the road because of how you are read and I am not being stopped and none of this is ever ok and still, I feel the pull and tug of the net that is larger than anything I have experienced TEXT: before. Is there anyone in these cities not showing up in some way? I can't remember the last time I saw or heard anyone have words other than how can I show up? There is a net and it has always been here, it is always here, it's just that sometimes it's hard to see and all that is happening in Minneapolis is that some of the confusion is fading and what is visible is the link and weave and stumble and steady between us. May we keep repairing it as it frays, from those outside and from the rising tension we hold within and may this net grow with wisdom and may bodies tired of holding themselves up alone someday feel like they can relax into the steady certainty of something much bigger than the size of their skin.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

"We should be absolutely clear that this has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with either drug trafficking or democracy. Trump has been kind enough to make that as clear as day." organizingmythoughts.org/geo-maher-on...
"Trump knows that the US empire is in decline, that its hegemony is openly in question if anything, he’s more honest than liberals about this fact. And his response is to turn to what he calls the projection of power — projection in the sense that this is a performance of power and a threat to be wielded — to gain access to markets, natural resources, and political leverage on the global scale. The goal is to dismantle and indeed terrorize progressive forces globally but also domestically, as we’re seeing in Minneapolis and elsewhere, and to build a global fascist alliance to make this possible." - Geo Maher

A lot of people have strong feelings about what’s happening in Venezuela, but not much grounding in the history or politics. I talked to Geo Maher, who’s written two books on Venezuelan politics, to offer some context.

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.

But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

Don’t give him what he wants.

I do love my life sometimes. Really an honor to get to do an intro for these two legends.

Also Chipspace was kind enough to make sure I could buy their CDs and comic so I no longer need to enact cartoon violence on nerds to make sure I get them. :P

Safe travels @aiviwave.com & @surasshu.com!

If you're at MAGFest, you want to be at Chipspace at noon. You'll very briefly have to listen to me yap, and then you can have your minds melted by @aiviwave.com and @surasshu.com before they abscond back home.

Also they've got merch! But not a lot!

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.
