Got home from work at about 0030 and should go to bed, but then a favourite film starring the great Kati Outinen came on the Criterion Channel stream.

I’ll sleep afterward.

By god, the DUP are nothing but desperate and dirty colonial vestiges – not that they were ever much more than that – grasping at any blunt instrument they can find now that the writing is on the wall.

This is lovely. Connolly schools Campbell so skillfully that the old Orange bastard has no idea.

I will not entertain commentary on this, which is itself entirely on the nose.

Tons of examples out there right now of deservedly defaced posters for the bullshit that is the pseudo-documentary Melania. Some are clever. Many sadly resort to the usual lazy and self-defeating impulses of vulgar misogyny.

The example pictured here, though, is one I can totally get behind.

These captains of industry calling for “de-escalation” in Minneapolis have that “good people on both sides” stench about them.

Stop equivocating and demand the dispersal and disbanding of this Schutzstaffel. Say it clearly, loudly and constantly until it happens.

Anything less is bullshit.

CONTENT WARNING

Video of this morning’s murder in Minneapolis from another angle, presumably from the phone of the woman seen in a pink coat in the first video that circulated.

This video is being quickly removed from too many platforms.

“I work for the people,” one border agent tells protesters, his rifle hanging from his chest. “You don’t work for me! Get out!”

"The crowd yells at local police to arrest the federal immigration agents involved in the shooting. “Here you are, protecting murderers!”
