Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Wow. Thank goodness the Trump regime has brought in the military to deal with vagrancy.
REPORTER: Why are troops stationed here at Union Station and at the National Mall instead of areas where crime is higher?

JD VANCE: Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants.

"Which Way Western Man?" is a disgusting white supremacist neo-Nazi book. The Department of Homeland Security referencing this book in its job recruitment ads is horrific. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...

If you want* to read Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"--a clear-eyed yet profoundly hopeful inspection of the gap between U.S. ideals and U.S. reality--you can read it as it was first published at the Internet Archive.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

Important thread about how the collapse of gatekeeping institutions has ripped the threads of factuality that otherwise bind society to objective reality.

In a previous era, Hannah Arendt documented how the collapse of institutions was key to the Fascist project. What’s old is new again.
