“Every normal man [person] must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

A so-called precept in the practice of news coverage is that “if it bleeds, it leads.” Well, apparently, if a Palestinian is bleeding, this isn’t true.

As reports tally up the 2025 fires, here's a long view back. I've updated and abridged Vestal Fire - now 40% as long, with half the new text completely rewritten, reorganized, and reconceptualized. The narrative still includes Russia. Should be published in spring, 2026.

Masked thugs are attacking and kidnapping people on the streets of American cities. This state terror is designed to make Americans feel helpless. But this has happened before. And The People have stopped it before, as I discuss here.

Lessons from a Red Scare

The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression.

In a 2019 poll by Gallup, about 40% of Americans said they believe in a young Earth creationist view — though not all of them pinpoint the year 4004 BC specifically.

Dear America, does 40% = Trump voters?

106 voyeuristic videos of 16 un-

The ideos found on the

I had a wonderful day at Manor Gardens for the launch of our "You Belong in Islington" campaign.

This is about creating a message of unity across our borough, celebrating the voices of refugees, migrants, LGBTQ+ communities, and all those who have made Islington their home!

People always take whatever they want from art. (Part of the reason it is silly so many people fret over whether the "right" messages are in novels and movies.) Musk names spaceships after anarchist space operas. Paul Ryan works out to RATM. Better art isn't going to save a right-wing brain.

I wonder sometimes if it would have helped at all if they'd read Le Guin, Butler, and Jemisin as well as Tolkien and Gibson. But given how wildly they misunderstood Tolkien and Gibson and even Iain M. Banks, I don't know that it would have.

I think Kendra's right about Thiel and a lot of other people. A thought I often find myself having is, "Did these people read the same books I did? Did [tech billionaire, any of them] think, 'Yes, I want to control everyone else like that,' and if so, why do they lack empathy and critical thinking?"

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.
