DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend.

His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.”

He might never walk again. For showing up.

This is brutality. This is America.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

From a poetry collection by Mary Oliver, where after a hundred poems showcasing gentle observations on nature and animals, she hits you with this
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

"It wasn’t uncommon for me to return home from school to find Mom in a heap on the dirty shag carpet of our living room floor."

Never change, NYC.
A humorous and edited street sign reads: "BE A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN Properly Dispose of Your Dog's Waste" It includes an illustration of dog feces with an arrow pointing towards a Cybertruck, implying that waste should be disposed of in it. The text continues: "Place It Into The Nearest Cybertruck" Below, an additional line states: "If you see Elon Musk, you may also deposit it directly into his mouth." At the bottom, the sign features a fake city code and department reference: "CITY CODE ELNZ-A-DKHD DEPT. OF @FOLAFIA, CITY OF NEW YORK" The tweet, posted by Wu Tang is for the Children (@WUTangKids), captioned it: "Love this town 🤣🎯"

Yup. All of it.
A tweet from Amy McGrath includes a list of political promises attributed to Donald Trump, such as building a wall paid for by Mexico, ending the war in Ukraine on Day 1, and fixing the national debt. She dismisses these claims as "bullshit." Below her tweet is a post from Acyn, featuring a screenshot of Trump speaking on Fox News. The quoted text from Trump suggests that tariffs will generate immense wealth for the U.S., making it difficult to decide where to spend the money. The Fox News ticker at the bottom reads: "DON'T HAVE THE CARDS," referring to Ukraine-Russia ceasefire deal negotiations.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Bonus In Disguise December
Goldstar/Supernova

A non-canonical entry. My partner, @kirstenogden.bsky.social liked the Supernova entry so much, she wanted a female version. I'm playing a little what-if/possible timeline where Booster's sister took his place as Supernova.
