American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

Thinking a lot lately how little writing I've encountered that has attempted to set normative and realistic standards for a "well informed public". Would love to read anything related if people have recs.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.

Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

The self-sustaining system of techniques described by Ellul — our society — is made of imagination. So are any alternatives.

Idle imaginations don't have to be idle. Unqualified imagination is action.
New episode!

Philosopher Federico Campagna joins us to discuss his book "Otherworlds," and how imagination, myth, and “refusal” have helped people escape oppressive realities, preserve censored histories, and build worlds of #survival and #resistance.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

"[1973-2012], Congress’s nonpartisan Congressional Research Service found eight judicial decisions involving the War Powers Resolution, and “in each and every case” the ruling declined to offer a binding opinion, always finding a reason, such as a lack of standing to sue, to avoid taking a side."

Bad news is coming from Iran about the internet & phones being cut off. The Iran regime is massacring people in a news blackout.

It is said that around 400 people were shot in Tehran. At least 20 people were shot dead in Naziabad, Tehran. Similar news has also been reported in Imam Hussein Square.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

Please stop platforming Minneapolis’ piss boy mayor.

Every tragedy, he emerges from some downtown gutter to cry on national television that only he should be able to murder the people of Minneapolis with zero consequences.

He alone controls our police force.
If he wanted ICE gone, they’d be gone.

So, I haven't been sure what to do with this but there is now a website. Maybe this will inspire you to write love letters. Maybe you need someone to accompany you on that journey. There is a way to be in touch.

Much needed overviews of what's happening in Iran.

I'd only been hearing the usual imperialist media from without and the empire-supported monarchists from within.
In Iran, an uprising has been underway since December 28, pitting grassroots movements against the government but also against monarchists seeking to co-opt the revolt to take power.

We present three perspectives on the uprising from within Iran and the surrounding region:

See that side-hustle over there?

Reach over, tilt it juuuust a little. Yeah. Good.

Now step back and look at it again.

There it is.
I think we need to better articulate how we build a non-carceral economy. Not the “business case for” but what non-carceral, cooperative jobs look like. What it looks like to have a green economy, a care economy. Where disabled people, elders, and children are centered. What we do post-cops.
