The pro-government Georgian TV channel POSTV has appeared to have reported the detentions of several anti-government figures before they actually happened.

Premonition: Georgian pro-government media ‘announces’ arrests before they occur
Some of the individuals listed as arrested on the POSTV card were detained only after its publication.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

NEW: @homelandgov.bsky.social federal agents have used excessive force against protesters, medics, legal observers, and journalists at numerous protests outside a US ICE facility in Illinois.

This isn’t crowd control but a campaign of intimidation.

Congress must act. https://bit.ly/476v5uS

Stratus currents move slowly
Low on a sleepy valley.
Morning rays call up high tide
Bringing Cirrus waves
To crash upon mountain sides.

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

Hundreds of ways to love
And yet,
You still choose hate.
You've become a festering wound,
A parasite,
Moving all too desperate.
Hundreds of ways to grow
And yet,
You still choose decay
You've become a sunken grave,
Malignant,
Slow, stinking, and stagnant.

Singing,
"Blessed are the depraved"

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

An idea
A fantasy
A dream
I have walked as all three.

Wanted
Loved
Needed
As wholly myself, me...

That is yet to be achieved.

Finishing up 'The Book of Five Rings' by Miyamoto Musashi
And I can't emphasize enough, this is a book I think everyone should read. It took me all summer. It's a small book that should not be rushed. As he reiterates throughout, it should be "given careful consideration" and "thorough examination"

When I was four I remember thinking,
One day i will be five and so close to grown up. The grown ups could depend on me. And also, I'd finally be able to whistle.

When I was five I realized one day I'd grow old and die. And I wanted to be a little younger for a little longer

Awfully big thoughts

Just a reminder! If you're buying books in support of #BannedBooksWeek buying from Amazon undercuts the broader project of social justice supporting the right to read is a part of. Get your banned books absolutely anywhere else!
Amazon is the invisible backbone of ICE’s immigration crackdown
Lobbying dollars and a cozy relationship with the government have given the tech giant an outsize influence in the Department of Homeland Security.

Charles Earl Boles was an 1870s American stagecoach robber who left poems at his crime scenes, signing them “Black Bart”. One verse was:

I’ve labored long and hard for bread,
For honor, and for riches,
But on my corns too long you’ve tread,
You fine-haired sons of bitches.

This morning, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

A changing of tides
A bitter, swift change of wind
Butterfly, no, apartheid effect.
A dreaming of peace
A dying hope ever present
Silver lining, no, strength rising.
A stifling of minds
A banning of voices written
Inspired future,no,
echoes of a horrific past..
