WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Florence had a problem: it wanted sex workers, but it also needed to offer them a way out. The solution was a new brothel district – and a nunnery for former prostitutes

The stock market is near Great Depression levels.

Prices are NOT going down.

Legal immigrants are being disappeared.

DOGE has hacked into all our private and sensitive information.

Consumer confidence is LOW.

This is absolutely terrifying. My heart goes out to his family. I can't imagine anything more terrifying than your family member being illegally detained. These are dangerous times. If you can get out of this country, then I suggest you do it. No one is safe.

As U.S. poet laureate, Ada Limón has had a far-reaching impact. She even wrote a poem that’s engraved inside a NASA spacecraft on its way to Jupiter. On Modern Love, she explained how poetry can help people fully feel human emotions. nyti.ms/4cntMsd

Today is my birthday and I would really appreciate it if you would all download THE BIG BOOK OF EVERYDAY RESISTANCE (which is FREE on all digital platforms) as well as maybe tell your family and friends to do the same.

Let's get it on more bestseller lists!

1980: These ladies got high and kidnapped their boss. They were heroes and one of them got his job and did it better.

There was also a hit song about corporations exploiting workers.

America loved it.

I have been watching several things involving the occult, curses, and Satanism lately. I'm coming from a strictly academic interest but I'm very fascinated why people get into these things. Sociologically speaking, what has to flip or change a person to want to pursue these off branches of religion?

Weekend reading: I wrote about Donald Trump’s closing pitch to the American people: Rage, intimidation, and vengeful violence.
 
He is threatening – or promising, if you ask his supporters – fascism. No more plausible deniability for anyone who refuses to see the threat.

This week’s piece:
Donald Trump, American Fascist
Trumpism is what a specifically American, twenty-first century version of fascism looks like. And in November, fascism is on the ballot.

Trump's brain is basically dribbling out of his ears. Key thing to remember is that Trump is now just a puppet for the Heritage Foundation and the coalition of fascist billionaires, propagandists, lobbyists, and academics who are actively planning to destroy the last vestiges of US democracy.
