"I turn to poetry as a way of interrupting what could be called neoliberal uses of testimony, documentary realism, and memoirs as the privileged archive for thinking about the role of affect in public life."

This compulsion to repeat will keep happening as long as Blackness remains a problem for thought
A lot of the critique of this moment is asking for a normative return to the ideological promises of U.S. statism

It’s akin to a recrudescence

I *do* appreciate that fascism is coded as global north.

We have no fascists in the global south.

We have strongmen and dictators and tyrants and corruption, but no fascism!

Hurray! We win!

U.S. TikTok stuff is being suppressed here.

Fascinating!

Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Christians around the world celebrated Timket, or Epiphany, on 19 January. In the US, ICE knocked the wind out of the holiday in Minneapolis and St Paul in Minnesota, where many people who immigrated from the Horn of Africa live.
A holy day on ICE
ICE agents are deployed in Minnesota as part of Operation Metro Surge. It is the Trump administration’s largest-ever immigration-enforcement operation, involving up to 2,000 federal agents.

(I think the USians are asleep. It's a safe space now.)

I've been seeing a lot of "it's a fight for the soul of the U.S."

It's a rotten soul. Exorcise that shit.
