Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard.

I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am.

I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.
Not to be too morbid, but today's reporting is that she was actually still alive for several minutes. He said that to her while she was dying.

“Waging a Good War” is an incredibly valuable book for our current moment - it has greatly informed my tactical thinking. I strongly suggest everyone read it.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

I have just emerged from a deep rabbit hole of trying to identity which printing & print run of Zap #2 I have.

These Underground dudes did not keep very good records 😂

The story of printing of Zap #2 is wild: comixjoint.com/zapcomix2-2n...

My copy is a 2nd printing, but what print run? Who knows?

I would like to be the writer in residence at my alma mater for one year. Not for the money, not for the line on my CV, but because they don't have a track record of letting genre writers have that position. 😢

The thing that’s gonna be hardest to deal with is how many folks wanted that. In so many ways the lack of real cohesion is because a lot of people like that threat .

A lot of white people are finding that out about other white people

What they do with it …
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes:

these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.
It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.
