I love this video of that apartment in St Louis blowing over / apart.. looks exactly like every shitty abundance style gentrified apartment building in my Brooklyn hood.

in the bronze tower I looked out at the umber hills and felt assured and well defended, safe in my office box and crisp white shirt and connected to things that made me feel stronger.

We find ourselves with a Democratic party suffering from a chronic and fatal failure of imagination.

Clinging to the forms of institutions no longer up to the task of stopping fascism, while using what little remaining power they do have to suppress those whose eyes are open to the danger. 12/

Incredible to think how hard Merrick Garland worked for four years to avoid even the remotest appearance of partisanship or ideological commitments, and literally on her first day as AG Pam Bondi is like "Diversity is now illegal, we will be putting all the libs in prison"
Breaking from me and @mjsdc.bsky.social : Newly installed AG Pam Bondi sent out more than a dozen memos in a 15 minute period on Wednesday. One of them told staffers to come up with "proposals for criminal investigations" of large companies that have DEIA initiatives. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Pam Bondi Instructs Trump DOJ to Criminally Investigate Companies That Do DEI
Civil rights advocates may well file suit immediately against the Justice Department to secure an injunction.

Death’s a sad bone; bruised, you’d say, / and yet she waits for me, year after year, / to empty my breath from its bad prison.

The Age of Innocence's narrator says the characters live in a "hieroglyphic world" where the real thing is never said or done, only represented by arbitrary signs, and the film is just the same. an incredibly violent movie with no physical violence - & images that suggest sex without depicting it

without much relief or redistribution (while acknowledging the blockaid/sanctions), what else could have happened with the saa and the mass desertion we are seeing.

Deeply embarrassing for Khanna and Sanders to indulge DOGE, as if Musk or Trump will ever go after the military state or cut “waste” in some ideologically neutral way. A boilerplate rw attack on the liberal state by two cynical racist liars who will absolutely never do anything remotely progressive
