58 weeks. 47,750 stitches. One charmingly deadly assassin.

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I feel like if I were more charismatic/an activist, I'd be trying to activate people on rank choice voting. Because clearly the "hold your nose and vote Democrat to stop Republicans" isn't working for people, so we need to change the system. They don't get dominance anymore.

Just finished Twelve Months. Bear my beloved. But also my favorite exchange of the book was:
"Did you threaten to defenestrate my partner just before I came up here?"
"No," I said defensively. "There are no windows up here."

I've been pondering how much of republican views are due to the just world fallacy.
Good things happen to good people. bad things happen to bad people. so therefore, anyone murdered by federal agents, anyone roughed up by cops, anyone in jail, well they must have done something to deserve it.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

How much good could the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers be doing down there right now? A country with this much military and economic power should let no citizen, immigrant, or refugee freeze. We could feed, clothe, and treat the medical conditions for everyone. And yet.

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”
i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

the gross tale of my current illness:
so on Tuesday I had a persistent tickle in my throat. Wednesday it graduated to an unmoving lump and my voice was completely gone. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I'm dealing with that. No voice, painful throat, but no other symptoms.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

well, I did actually like Google's automatic sorting of my emails into different folders, but they've now tied that feature into the same setting list as the annoying ass AI summaries, so guess it's all getting turned off.
