Happy birthday to Ben Carter, BOTD in 1911, in my old hometown (Go Trojans!) of Fairfield, Iowa, now home to the transcendentally meditating students and faculty of Maharishi International University.

In my first monthly deep-dive interview for @straightwhitejc.bsky.social, @sethcotlar.bsky.social and I talk about the history of right-wing extremism and White nationalism in Oregon and beyond, and how it moved from the margins of the GOP to its mainstream.

They didn’t delete the meme or blame a staffer because they realized it was racist and the right thing to do.

They didn’t because of public outrage.

They did it because Republican senators FINALLY spoke out and they backed down.

There’s a lesson in that if they will learn it.

The racism on view in that video Trump posted (and has now taken down, having bent the knee to woke cancel culture) is relevant because it's the same racism that is animating the anti-Somali federal occupation of Minneapolis and will animate the surge of anti-Haitian feds into Springfield, OH.

Anything can be found anywhere, part eleventy. 1400 pages of Korean, African and Asian literature from the 2007 Asia-Africa Literature Festival in Jeonju, Korea "for the participants of AALF only," found in a central Illinois thrift store yesterday (for a quarter each).

In the ALT text I've posted a slightly edited excerpt from an address by a black, Northern preacher, Theodore S. Wright, in 1837. Expatriation was the alternative to emancipation that swept the white anti-slavery scene and sounds a lot like DHS self-deportation. #NowReading

If we had local governments that ACTUALLY cared about The People, police would be posted in front of ICE concentration camps.

Our real police would be arresting and JAILING every ICE thug who brings in a prisoner without a genuine legal warrant signed by a judge.

Pacifico’s GW Ranch in Pecos County is authorized to release more than 12,000 tons per year of regulated air pollutants, including soot, ammonia, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds.

The complex can also release up to 33 million tons per year of greenhouse gases.

I’m old and have a lot less at stake than many people. If I get arrested, I won’t lose my pension. If I get shot, I’ll lose 10-20 years of arthritis getting worse and worse. I have no reason not to rouse a little rabble.

This session will be a plunge into what it means to actualize courage as we face what to some feels like insurmountable challenges. What does courage look like in relation to the authoritarianism that has unfolded so rapidly in our country?

Not really holding my breath that the highest profile media is ever going to catch on to this in any meaningful way.

From Robert Anton Wilson's 1992 "Reality is what you can get away with."

"...Bullshit speech consisted in 'saying that which is not so'..."

This is Georgia Fort as she’s being arrested by federal agents. Apparently, they had a grand jury indictment in hand. She was arrested for being an independent journalist who filmed the Cities Church protest.

Congress needs to overwhelmingly pass my Bivens Act. If Republican Senators can receive $500k because their electronic records were legally obtained, then you should be able to sue Kristi Noem for violating your civil rights.
