And if you're bragging today about how you killed your WaPo subscription a while ago -- which is legit -- but you still have Amazon Prime because you just gotta watch, I dunno, Fallout, or Fleabag, or, fuck me, Shiny Happy People, of which I was a part, then you've chosen yr side, & its Bezos'.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I take this as a positive sign that morale is zero within DHS, that they're all afraid, and that Miller is doing this publicly for the same reason Himmler made all the SS chiefs assemble to hear they were doing the Holocaust: you can't say later you weren't in this, and weren't empowered.
How is this not inciting violence?

Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity?

One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law.

Be safe Minneapolis.

Northtown Books in Arcata is an absolutely incredible bookstore. Several years ago I met the folks who are running it now and their passion for running a welcoming local space was so infectious.

This fire is utterly awful.

If you can afford to kick in a few bucks to their fundraiser, please help.
Just spoke with the owner, Dante, & learned there is a fundraising page. If you are not in a position to give, please consider sharing this widely. Let's blow through that preliminary # -- immediate access to cash gives options the fire would seem at first to destroy.

thank you to everyone finding this essay in a brand new magazine - one that is trying to do something different in this time of media consolidation...
"And what about all those books with checklists on how to spot your country sliding into fascism? Why did so many of the people who read them—and even some of the people who wrote them—falter when a genocide was unfolding on their screens..." - @naomiaklein.bsky.social h/t @annfriedman.bsky.social
Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"
US citizen, 67, ‘has six ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents, his running club says
The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.
The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

So sad about this. I didn’t know Kaleb, but his writing made me think I did.
If anyone else wasn’t aware of Kaleb Horton until he died, you need to read this thread.
Here’s Kaleb Horton on Charles Portis.
