This is what I've been working on all summer. It's my first book, called Escape Velocity: Explorations of Digital Culture and its Discontents 2019-2024. It's partially a retrospective of my time doing No Escape but it also features multiple revisions of old work and five entirely new essays.

They have to do this driving around and snatching random people they profile and running off fast as they can because the community response is overwhelmingly and immediately negative, and often grows by the minute while they're stationary.

We've almost totally fallen out of the national news about it but things have not calmed down in Los Angeles or the wider metro area. Border Patrol still runs the same kinds of kidnapping crews roving around a set of neighborhoods nearly every day since August, when they switched to that tactic
Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.
But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.
Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.
Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.
We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

My Daughter Lived the Liam Ramos Nightmare. It Turned Out Worse for Us.
The constant threats took a toll on my health. My daughter’s health deteriorated even faster.

talking about violence in terms of whether it causes/continues or interrupts oppression is more of a meaningful discussion to have because legality is meaningless. It is wildly illegal to lay hands on a cop, but if doing so helps keep someone from getting their shit kicked in, shouldn't you do it?

What is violence?
Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?
Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?
Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—
Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy
What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

seeing a lot of anarchist slander on the timeline and even though it's irritating I'm mostly biting my tongue because the shit people are saying can't be resolved in a social media post.

In sharing “A Day for Gaza,” we hope to breach the silence that has descended around Gaza since the ceasefire, and to offer a microphone to some of the 2 million people whose stories still demand to be told.

A Day for Gaza
Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

anyway. I'm personally done talking about him and this. I hope the next time I'm forced to hear about some shit he's done it isn't because he's gotten someone with less followers than him on social media killed by his antics.

None of us should even know who Stencil is. He's the epitome of "some guy." But because he spends so much time inserting himself into conversations and provoking people to say shitty things to him and blowing every interaction he has on this site out of proportion, he's the permanent main character

doesn't mean they're infallible, but I'm a lot more likely to take someone's word when they've been out there rather than a guy who lost his state house primary and has spent the ensuing nearly two years sniping at leftists online about it

I know we all decided to give the middle finger to things like accumulated experience when woke 1 was killed by chris rufo in 2022 but we could probably bear to bring some of that respect back for the shit people have learned over the decades doing the work

idk man, there are no perfect solutions to problems like government surveillance, and there are no perfect ideologies, and there's no perfect way to protest or participate in something like what's going on in MN, but all the ppl upset at Stencil's BS have decades of experience. Might count for smth
