Very chilling sign of the times for @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
to get shut down on here.

While writing There Is No Place for Us, what I wanted most was for readers to feel the fury I carried throughout my reporting—the outrage, the horror at what this country forces our neighbors to endure.

This review by @lilysanca.bsky.social says everything I hoped the book would convey, and more:

This: "We ultimately need a real right to housing in this country. We need public and social housing for all... True abundance in housing means putting our country's resources to work for ordinary people and ending the dictatorship of private property over our lives."

That's quite a sentence, Mr James: “When you’re finished, squeezed dry and used up and you think the sack’s empty, you’re still appealed to, you still get touches and thrills, the idea springs up—out of the lap of the actual—and shows you there’s always something to be done."

"Americans have never protested so much yet gained so little leverage. This is not the fault of protesters but of the multifaceted mafia state."

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness.

(I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

"I understand many of you aren’t familiar with dignified transfers and why what Trump has done here is so disgusting and unbecoming and insulting to the memories of these soldiers... so, I'll explain."

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Legal residents of the US are being sent to prisons in El Salvador where they are being abused. The president, the vice president and the secretary of state are committing the heinous crime of human trafficking.

‘To have a nose for’– isn’t it a skill,
A wry intelligence, a kind of knack?
What thought trails do I lose, untraceable,
What wisdom lack?
