Mark Bray, an historian who published the 2017 book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, and has taught courses on anti-fascism at the New Jersey university, was attempting to board a plane at Newark airport bound for Europe when he was informed at the boarding gate that the reservations for him and his family had been cancelled.

turn my ubiquitous desires into a singular journey, an epic, a movie. More than that, treat these desires as expressions of uniquely worthy aesthetic subjects, even though I'm swinging at phantoms, fighting against a world that's unfair to everyone, but whose real problems I can't see for myopia.

The intensity of her fans seems linked to this, imo, as if dismissing her work was tantamount to dismissing the grounds on which one's normal/white struggles could be understood as valid and interesting. It's a different version of the marriage plot and HGTV dream house:

TODAY from 5-7pm Eastern you can hear me spin some tunes on Inhailer.com. I'll mention a book that's so tuned into the Cincy scene it mentions Jungle Jim's & I'll be sure to play the new GBV song also about somewhere in Butler County (about half an hour up Route 4...)
