It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Bro types in my office are increasing the level of vocal fry, I think it's meant to signal nonchalance and ultra-attenuated contempt for everything within earshot

As was clear during Trump 1, roughly 37% of Americans are committed to white supremacy &/or Christian nationalism, no matter the cost. Very much reminds me of the Reconstruction South, which doubled down on the plantation regime that had destroyed the country in the aftermath of emancipation.

People would read more if books were pocket-sized. The mass market paperback still exists but barely, the paper stock is gray-brown and deeply humiliating, the books too fat from no editing and bad page design, they’re barely cheaper than titles in that obtuse motley format we call trade paperback

The top US leaders & donors have a combination of Nazi and S. African apartheid ideology (which were themselves initially patterned after US racism/segregation/violence) and Jim Crow. Their vision is also world war. They all already built bunkers so they can die like Hitler when they are defeated.
Whether it's bizarre tariff policies, the recent National Security Strategy statement encouraging white nationalist & authoritarian regimes in Europe, or the more visible attempts to resurrect the explicitly racist Immigration Act of 1924, the throughline is the same: reviving the Jim Crow state.

Marvel movies were a fundamentally busted idea- a movie can’t be drawn by Michael Golden or Gene Colan or Jack Kirby now can it?
