Welcome to Orwellia.

The most recent update to my Google email is an AI summary of the contents of each. We always knew they were watching, but like corruption in DC we didn't see it. Now, also like corruption in DC, they just don't give af if we see them watching.

It's the telescreen a la 2026

I creied when I read this.

It's not only Minnesota that's feeling the tragedy. Children are having to fend for themselves after parents--primarily the Haitian refugees--are deported in Springfield, Ohio. Local charities are stepping up but this is not a wealthy community and so much help is needed.

Anything with Wallace is worth paying attention to. Read the book and do the workshop, but at the least check out the book. We could all use this.
You can access "Radical Unlearning" by @lewispants.bsky.social as an audiobook, ebook, or hardcover anywhere you get your books, and/or request your local library carry a copy!

Be very careful what you wish for.

Cleaning out some boxes in a move and found this clip that was on my desk back in 1982. There is nothing new under the sun. It all keeps going 'round and 'round.

What don't kill ya gets us good photos and stories, but wtf!
What an amazing photo.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

General strikes? YES, but why are the leaders only calling for taking an afternoon or day off? A STRIKE requires we refuse to return to work until a demand is met.

Without demands it's just a party downtown.

What is the demand? What specifically is it we will not return to work until ____ happens?

Yes! I do not need to show you ANY ID if I'm not driving.
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

What have we learned?
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

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".

They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.

There is nothing "lawful" about it.
