I'm way deep into nothing special, riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of Hollywood. Drifter, occasional grifter, tea drinker, Jack Kerouac fan making his way west on the open road.

"She began sketching SS officers, taking care to make them look handsome, muscular, and powerful. They gave her food for the drawings. They let her keep her red hair. Her art saved her life. Erna knew about vain men." @margaretmcmullan.bsky.social from the archives lnk.thebulwark.com/4qT40Td
Reconstructing Erna
For one brilliant artist and her Jewish family in 1930s Vienna, self-remaking was a necessity of survival. But there were some harms from which their self-reconstructions could not protect them.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

We are community or we are less. We are engines of kindness and connectivity or we are less. When decency is framed as a radical position we must remain who we are. Our resistance is also in refusing to be less openhearted and filled with compassion.

It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

Trump is tearing at the foundations of NATO, an 80-year security alliance and replacing it with threats instead of a coherent strategy. He is shredding decades‑old commitments and offering no credible new framework for collective security in their place. Who wants to be our allies now?

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

If we continue to go to work everyday & just do our job, & where we work is owned & used to help support a dictator, then isn’t going to work under an authoritarian regime compliance?
Isn't the best thing for us to do is to truly stop supporting this regime is to stop society until this is fixed.
