Sounds like the only place safe for migrants of any status will be low wage farms. Sounds not so vaguely feudal.
Trump: "We have a lot of cases where ICE will go into a farm. These are guys working there for 10-15 years, no problem. The farmers know them. It's called farmer responsibility, or owner responsibility, They will be responsible for these people. They know these people."

Mamdani winning in NY will not signify that there is still hope in the electoral process. It will only signify that the oligarchs in this country see the rising anti-oligarch sentiment and decided to toss the people a bone.

I haven't seen it yet, but godsdamn Wunmi Mosaku is one of the most glorious actors alive.
Every 70mm IMAX screening of Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ has sold out, crashing AMC’s website.

Yes, you told us that your party dgaf about average ppl, children, unhoused or poor. The only ppl who will be fixating on this is you. The rest of us will be doing under t/rump what we did under Biden. Trying to survive.
The four words we will be saying on repeat for the next four years:
WE. TOLD. YOU. SO!
WE. TOLD. YOU. SO!

The paperback is now available! Also, since the collection containing the prequel story "Zulfiqar is Coming" is no longer available, I have a free pdf download on my website, and I'll have a standalone Kindle version shortly. jibrilstevenson.wordpress.com/books/

As we come upon the settler-colonial genocide holiday I want to remind folks that this idea of "accident of birth" erases the very deliberate act of murdering millions precisely so that ones progeny could be born here and participate in this exploitative project.

Also want to let folks know that more than 300 million pounds of food will be wasted during the upcoming weekend. Enough to feed the 700,000 unhoused folks in this country for weeks. Consider doing/consuming less and give something other than thanks to this genocidal nation.

Tuned out of "We Are Lady Parts" once it the introduced the white love interests. Realistic sure. But deeply unoriginal. Like we can't portray or bestow humanity and complexity on characters or each other irl without proximity or interest of whiteness. Hard pass.

Art has a place. Maybe especially leftist trash thrillers. If you liked Baby Reindeer. You liked Lovecraft Country. You want to be entertained without losing your soul and maybe gaining something. Or you just want distraction that is the opposite of doom scrolling. Disgraced: A Toronto Thriller.

Also, if you can't see how casteism and how tech systemically keeps Blacks and Latinos out then you need to look closer at your own analysis. Silicon Valley is already allowed to legally discriminate on the basis of gender and race.
a good clip of Sillicon Valley leadership want to discriminate on the basis of caste and don't appreciate bipartisan interference in that. Apparently they bought themselves a whole Gov. just to ensure they could continue, using this veto to fend off future legal action.

Two years ago police surpassed, by dollar amount, more theft than actual thieves. This is from the DoJ. 5 billion dollars. This is not including "civil asset forfeiture". This is straight up theft.

Who better to rehabilitate Roald Dahl's racist legacy with a series of short films than Wes Anderson. With enough hyper nostalgic set design and stop motion animation, I think it will be successful.
Next up: Enid Blyton.

There isn't a single app or streaming service in existence that isn't full of persistent bugs. These tech bros have us living in digital slums. My only hope is that we all leave this place for parks and forests and one day some internet urbex-ers will be one day bepicking over it's bones.
I thought twitter had gotten bad (it totally has). but i've been on fb the past few days to promote my book and what an utterly unusable mess. there is no integration between what was facebook and what is "meta". just garbage.

Some of the things we'll be talking about in Dark Matters Podcast this week: "The Changeling". Why do we still "other" witches in the post-modern era? We know that the term has been used pejoratively to describe women who don't subscribe to or accede to "atomic" ideas around marriage and family
