This is who Trump's fascist thugs murdered today. His name was Alex Pretti and he was a VA nurse, American born, and had no criminal history.

If they will lie about murdering him, then they will lie about murdering you next.

Federal agents pinned a man to the ground in south Minneapolis and sprayed him with chemical irritants directly in the face.

Minnesota Star Tribune photographer Rich Tsong-Taatarii did not witness the man put his hands on agents.

Morning coffee on an island
#Mamiya C220| #Kentmere 200|Rodinal 1+50

A small coffee shop on Padre Island with travel photos on the walls. I ordered kolach and got a muffin 🙈 As a Ukrainian, I had questions. Kolach comes from “kolo” a circle. But it was good, so I let it go No regrets #BelieveInFilm

“In the United States politics is a profession, whereas in Europe it is a right and a duty.”

If US politics feels surreal, but you suspect nothing here is truly new, read Eco. Sharp essays, elegant language, and a quiet, satisfying toxicity toward American “culture”

Just read that American preachers are furious about being impersonated by AI to scam people. Which is adorable 🤭 Folks who’ve been impersonating the “word of god” for centuries are suddenly concerned about authenticity, and upset they’re no longer the only ones scamming their congregations 🤭

The only good thing about the Trump regime is that it accidentally educates Americans about the world. Today, suddenly half of my feed became experts on authoritarian Iran. Maybe in six months they’ll even learn to ask people who actually lived under fear and repression. Or not. Who am I kidding 🤷‍♀️

For the first time in my life, I’m carrying a passport while traveling inside the United States.
A strange déjà vu. The last time I had to keep my passport on me at all times was in 2004, during an unfortunate visit to authoritarian moskovia (so-called russia)

If I’m seriously debating whether to pack film developer for a 4,000-mile road trip, does that mean I’ve officially lost it? Or is this just a normal stage of analog brain rot? Asking for a friend. Please advise 🤭
