I have spent many hours trapped under a clingy (but adorable!) dog.

In 1989, Gorbachev understood there was no containing the popular uprisings without military force, so he explicitly, publicly ruled that out. No govt committees took down the Berlin Wall - people took their own initiative after being assured they would not be killed. time.com/5714770/mikh...

Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. /SECRETARY/ Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program.

Unclear what documents ProPublica reviewed, but they sound sure in a way that must have been cleared by legal.

I really hope this woman has strong community protection.

Chapter 1 of this book is about how Freud changed his theories and methods because he wanted to avoid the implication that child sexual abuse was common amongst the bourgeoisie.

That’s definitely not true of Gelderloos, whose recent “The Solutions Are Already Here” is deeply critical of all settler legacies and colonial practices. This is the full preface.

“They Will Beat the Memory Out of Us” also persistently centers decolonial analysis.

If you want to think through the complex legacies of “nonviolence” and what they mean for the current polycrisis, this book is very helpful. www.akpress.org/nonviolence-...

If you want deeper historical context for Birmingham, this is a truly great work of historical, political, and geographic analysis of one locality of US apartheid. www.ugapress.org/978082035627...

I’m thinking a lot about this section of Paul Gilroy’s “After Empire” today, thinking about what it means for national political cultures to try and leave behind the narcissistic impulse to try and make an imperial country “great again.”
