On a visceral level, demolishing the East Wing is utterly sickening. The symbolism alone is far too on-point. Not to mention the entire operation is illegal.

On a human level, zip-tying kids and breaking families apart, or murdering boaters without a shred of evidence, is worse.

But it all sucks.

The Flowers in the Dustbin

In his autobiographical novel ‘Fever Pitch’, Nick Hornby writes about Arsenal centre-half Willie Young’s ludicrous professional foul on 17-year-old Paul Allen in the 1980 FA Cup Final defeat to West Ham United. The Irons, then in the second tier (a level they may be reacquainted with again very soon) were underdogs against Terry Neill’s side […] The post The Flowers in the Dustbin appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

I think , unfortunately, these ICE raids, et al, ARE the circus for his supporters. Some of them, not all, but a good chunk, are happily starving as they get those brown people out of ‘their’ country. It’s absolutely evil and it makes me afraid for the good people who live in these red places.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

So you know, Mo, my org, @impactforequity.bsky.social, has a KYR social post going up today in English and Spanish. We're a hyperlocal Chicago nonprofit dedicated to reforming policing (and housing), and this falls right in our wheelhouse. Fed intervention has violated tons of recent local reforms.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

No, kidnappings have also not stopped at NYC's immigration court or in L.A. & D.C.

Corporate media apparatus will continue treating this all as disparate events rather than a national emergency

Now watching District Judge Sara Ellis' courtroom, where Customs and Border Protection Dept. Incident Cmdr. Kyle Harvick is testifying.

Ellis asks what CBP is doing here.

He says they were tasked by Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem to enforce immigration law against "illegal immigration activity."

After some more back and forth between the attorneys, Alexis sets a hearing date for Nov. 6. at 2 pm.
