Infinite Jest: an homage to #DavidFosterWallace I made many years ago for an #InfiniteJest film festival. This short film imagines J.O. Incandenza on set with Mme. Psychosis as they make the fatal samizdat from the eponymous novel. Enjoy, but not too much…

Amid the deafening propaganda in the US right now, please take notes in an actual notebook. The 1939 diary of an antifascist can show you how.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

His heartless words after killing her should be evidence enough that he acted out of pure spite and malice, not mortal fear.

Democratic mayors and governors should call up SWAT teams to shadow ICE agents and provide security to its citizens: this is what the "well regulated militias" in the 2nd Amendment were actually designed for

The American government has gone completely rogue and should be considered armed and dangerous to the entire American population.

This is NOT normal, not acceptable, and most importantly, it's NOT LAWFUL.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

It's time for states like Minnesota to invoke the 2nd Amendment for what it was originally intended for: arming citizens in "well regulated militas" to defend themselves from the abuses of a violent, authoritarian central government.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.

This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.
