I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"The American Forever War wages on, dumber, deadlier and merchandised to a depraved degree.

American authoritarianism is both an eerie echo of tyrants past and its own unique perversion."

American authoritarianism is an echo of tyrants’ past and its own unique perversion: shrouded in goldleaf, ski masks, and utter bullshit.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

There’s a brilliant SBS documentary about the famous 1986 theft of Picasso's ‘Weeping Woman’ from the National Gallery in Melbourne. I don't know what made me think of that.

MAGA cheerleaders, Jacinta Price and Alex Hawke, are suddenly like two snakes devouring each other by the tail. Such a pity. 😆

“Mass migration” also started here with 13 ships in 1788. Perhaps the locals should have turned back those boats.
Dear journalists, when you use the expression ‘mass migration’ you have conceded territory to Nazis. Think about your language.

More kids shot, this time in church. 8 and 10-year-old killed praying. How’s that right to bare arms going, America?

Three Australian cops shot today by a “sovereign citizen”. Two dead. These nuts should be rounded up. They are terrorists.

Voices arguing that climate action is a waste of time are getting louder. Here’s why they are wrong.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

I posted to Twitter for what looks like the fifth time this year yesterday. Checked back today and the post has 39,000 likes, 3.2k retweets — and 9 replies, and 4 quote tweets. I'm sorry folks those numbers ain't real. Bordering on a statistical impossibility. It's gotta be almost entirely fake.

Honestly if there are sniper holes in the foreheads of children, I don’t care if your own reasoning allows you to sidestep the G-word, there is no logical parsing that can justify these acts, there is no gentlemanly symmetrical warfare based on some colonial guideline, this is mass human hunting.
