One small thing you can do today: ICE is ramping up in Maine. Food For All is delivering meals to 300 families that can't leave their homes. They need $7k a day to continue operations. The Culture Study community is raising enough to cover a day—join us?

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

There are those among us who desire peace, and freedom, and equality—the basic dignities which we all deserve; which make our lives worth living. And there are those who desire cruelty and savor pain; who celebrate, for whatever reason, the misery of their neighbor.
Blessed are the peacemakers.

Really, really important to emphasize these sudden flips represent a rotten political movement trying to save face by distancing itself from their worst excesses and NOT a mass coming-to-senses
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait
WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

It has not been lost on me that the two preeminent contemporary uses of LLMs is the infinite generation of 1) CSAM and 2) media that serves no purpose other to publicly denigrate, humiliate, and dominate women and minorities.

Call it woke indoctrination or whatever, who cares: the entire point of public education in a pluralistic multicultural democratic nation is to make sure we can live and work together without subjugating and killing each other.
The alternative is what we're living through right now.

I actually think one of the most American lessons you could learn in school is that your neighbors come from all races & religions, speak different languages, have families that may look different from yours, and that's what makes us great. I'd make Cultural Studies a requirement over Algebra II.

I watched a video of a man being burned alive in a hospital tent. The IV still attached to his flailing arm. Someone was trying to heal him and someone was trying to harm him and the latter won out in that contest as they almost always do. Murder being so much quicker and easier than medicine.

missed this the other day! i have only spent time with patterner but have enjoyed it immensely. beyond excited to revisit earthsea while listening to both 🙏
Thank you to everyone who’s purchased In the Grove this week. I just donated $50 each to Monarca/Unidos MN and the MN Immigrant Rights Action Committee. I’ll continue to donate the proceeds from bandcamp sales of In the Grove. Fuck fascism, fuck ICE, fuck Tr*mp forever.
Out today! Golden Brown: In the Grove
In the Grove is a companion EP to Patterner, my most recent release on @innerislands.bsky.social. Like Patterner, In the Grove was inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea series.
