Dedicated to speech-acts, time given to rumination, and discernment in this accelerated age in which technophilia meets the society of the spectacle
These times call for the renewal of social ties and collective cooperation among citizens and non-citizens alike.
Americans have fallen far from the concept and even more so, the lived experience, of the social contract
It is the only way through the spectacle on which capitalism feeds

It feels like Minnesotans are directly bringing into doubt the validity of Robert Putnam's thesis of declining social ties and cooperation among citizens.
“I think more than 350 of those cameras have gone out and are already deployed in the community now,” he said...

911 call after Minneapolis ICE shooting differs from DHS’s account of incident. "The video captures tense moments inside the home as a woman speaks with a 911 dispatcher. ....She claims... [when her husband] ran inside, agents shot through the door, hitting him in the leg." kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
Neighbors, DHS share conflicting stories on federal agent shooting in north Minneapolis
A Facebook Live video shared by Minnesota State Sen. Erin Maye Quade is now offering new insight into what may have happened moments before the shooting.

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers
“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

Big ups to who place themselves in harms way in the pursuit of getting the story beyond the noise of the internet and national news AI, rage and click-bate slop

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

ICE out of Minnesota. When harm hits this state, communities show up for one another—rain or shine, heat or snow. Neighbors are demanding protection from a fascist regime and justice for Renee and all those killed by ICE. Footage: Jan. 10, 2026. #ChoosePeaceNotChaos
