These videos as female reps leave after viewing E files are disturbing me down to the pit of my stomach.

I was overreacting about Desert Storm in 1990 and since it helped usher in peace in the Middle East clearly I was so wrong.

"Top line, guys: all this makes you look like what your president likes to call a 'shithole country.' Sorry! I assume it’s fine to use officially licensed vocabulary?"

Yeah, we deserve that.

We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was a nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. In the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.

So is she admitting that all the roughing up and tear gassing and shootings in Chicago/Broadview were done against nonviolent protesters?

One of the problems with Right Now is that it's hard not to see the Right Now in everything.

For me, the poem is about two people who have differing perspectives & how the author grieves this because it likely means no progress forward. This could be about a relationship or the state of the world.

So "A country's boats landed there" no longer guarantees ownership. Cool. I expect this communiqué from the highest authority in the US can be used by indigenous governing bodies in the future.

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.
TEXT: Out on patrol with two friends this morning and I kept seeing the beautiful web being woven in Minnesota right now. Not with new materials but woven with wisdom into what was already here. I could feel this net with my hands, this connection as we passed that group of three on the corner of Cedar and Lake, this connection as we listened to someone doing dispatch while their kid yelled in the room behind them. I thought of this today stopping by a locally beloved Mexican restaurant to grab some food for the family and having the owner step up with tears in his eyes and reflect on how much they feel cared for and then the security guard stepped over and asserted that this is what we do, we care for our own. He said, tell people we have them, we've got them and we will keep them safe. All of the worst stories you read are true and there are more of them than what shows up on social media, but there is also this, everything I am writing here in the same morning, driving over to northeast and a junior high has just done a walk out, they are lining a major road in their "are those pants they look like pajamas" clothes and all are holding signs and I am on the phone with someone and I burst into tears when I pass them. This is a net and I remember this very old fishing net someone showed me years ago, guiding my fingers to feel where the net had been repaired over and over again, like scars in the fibers that strengthen rather than break. ICE is sharp, knives that cut with small knicks and sometimes great full arm thrusts that shove and tear through this connected set of scars and fresh material and there are wounds and this is violence and some of you beloveds are being stopped on the road because of how you are read and I am not being stopped and none of this is ever ok and still, I feel the pull and tug of the net that is larger than anything I have experienced TEXT: before. Is there anyone in these cities not showing up in some way? I can't remember the last time I saw or heard anyone have words other than how can I show up? There is a net and it has always been here, it is always here, it's just that sometimes it's hard to see and all that is happening in Minneapolis is that some of the confusion is fading and what is visible is the link and weave and stumble and steady between us. May we keep repairing it as it frays, from those outside and from the rising tension we hold within and may this net grow with wisdom and may bodies tired of holding themselves up alone someday feel like they can relax into the steady certainty of something much bigger than the size of their skin.
