Later my wife jokingly said, “I’m a little white dog, so what?!” To which I added the image of that dog on a minibike drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette, flipping us off as he passed.

Earlier today we saw a white chihuahua on its own walking into the street. We and another car pulled over to follow what we thought was a lost dog, and it scampered down the gangway and into the backyard of a house. Apparently, this is a dog who walks itself?

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

Dick Tracy was a strange movie. Filled with big names, playing a vast swath of Tracy’s rogues’ gallery, who are all killed off in the first 15 minutes, but even stranger is the story of how Warren Beaty has periodically made “specials” of him as Tracy just to hold onto the rights for decades.

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.
