I'm in the mood to pull out my vinyl copy of Greetings From Asbury Park tonight and listen to a true patriot serenade our home.

"Across the country, deadly encounters begin with officers making decisions that turn routine stops into fatal confrontations."

The longer I am away, the more I understand David Bowie's song about Americans.

Yes, nothing says "I should be in charge of honoring America's fine arts at the Kennedy Center" quite like being a low-brow philistine schmuck who broke tradition by refusing to go to the Kennedy Center to honor America's artists. I just never thought I'd see Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan get the award.

Who would have guessed a 19 year old nicknamed "Big Balls" would pose a security risk?

This isnt even conservatism. Its putting henchmen (henchboys) into positions where they can break shit in order to control it. Its a coup, no matter how you look at it.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic.

Thousands of the firefighters currently battling bushfires in California are incarcerated in California's prisons. It's dangerous and pays as little as $2 a day. Most will be barred from working as firefighters post-release. Here's a 🧵of coverage of the issue:

I think a giant framed print of this would look amazing in the lobby of the Trump Presidential Library

With the latest fires in CA, I am reminded of the passing of Mike Davis not too long ago. His work, Ecology of Fear helped a then younger grad student (me) understand the connection between power and ecology.
