Alexandrian, super nerdy about housing, transit, policy and publishing. I work in none of those fields.
This is a really good thread framing the current moment.
1. Will Bunch’s recent column in the Philadelphia Inquirer has stayed with me, because it weaves various threads of history and politics into a clear and compelling tapestry with which ordinary people can act.

From autism to beards, the Trump regime wages war on ‘the different’ | Will Bunch
The Trump regime's disturbing views on everything from autism to transgender people have a scary "master race" vibe.

It’s a quick but important read: “What Bovino is running is effectively a new DHS entity […]. It has its own operational footprint, communications strategy and chain of command. Yet it has no congressional authorization”
Last week, the Trump admin purged senior leadership at ICE ERO, which leads internal immigration enforcement. Gregory Bovino and the Border Patrol are now increasingly in charge. As former ICE Chief of Staff Jason Houser writes, what we're getting now is theater, not serious law enforcement.
Opinion | The White House's sweeping overhaul of ICE is creating a Frankenstein force
The recent wave of ICE senior official reassignments has a clear motive.

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.
These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.
The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!
Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.
FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

I really enjoyed this book, kind of a literary magical novel. The audio version (it’s available in our library!) has an excellent narrator. It’s the author’s first novel and has all the lush scenery and detail of someone who revised about a million times. 🥰

Apparently the kids are into this movie again and we were at the edge of our seats with this E reveal.
Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.
