starving & bombing people--an endless global state destruction & people annihilating project--is still one of the greatest points of cross-party consensus. but i can feel a lot of people ALMOST at the point of "No War w/Iran...," "No Blockade of Cuba." it's not too late to divest from empire...

good day in the archive--two John Wieners boxes.

Real bad vibes from the arts administrators on this board. I mean, check out this guy.

“The public library is therefore a basis for reclaiming a grammar of the commons for the average person in the 21st century. It is not as Ursula Le Guin has written “a privilege for the already privileged.” Those of us on the left(s) must lean into this.”

hey, no war with Iran. none. fuck that. the U.S. doesn't get to bomb countries after participating in genocide. it doesn't get to be a moral arbiter when that arbitration always looks like destroying the means of life. maybe it doesn't even have the right to exist? i dunno.

'poetry' search in epstein files reveals some pretty cursed results. need to dig further. this gem about a recording for an educational project conversations with...Rahm Emanuel, Larry Summers, & Elena Kegan

"This week, the effort to balance the spirit of Muhammad Ali with his life as a 41-year-old billionaire tipped away from Ali. Actually, it didn’t just tip. It crashed to the ground."

The US is deliberately denying Cubans access to fuel and lecturing China on authoritarian supply chains.

🤮when someone you thought was aight publishes in the atlantic

now that media mostly moving on, easy to forget anti-ICE protests were historic in scale, many many people remain mobilized, many communities still under siege as the ethinc cleansing program continues. #abolishice also, damn, this photo - Leila Navidi.

Imperial feminism is a zone of interest

I had the pleasure of reading @isaacpickell.bsky.social new book of poetry,The Smallest Mistake We Call Human. Here's the blurb: "Isaac Pickell's poems are an abundance of intimacy and strength. Mothers, relationships, identity: the fullness of a vibrant emotional life experienced through poetry."

PRESALE TIME!! The best time to order small press books is during presale, when there are author incentives and awards buzz begins. So order one, or order ten for all your friends. I mean look at that cover — who wouldn't want this on a coffee table. blacklawrencepress.com/books/the-sm...

Mary Turfah: "Israel has bombed and detonated cemeteries in Gaza and Lebanon, taken bulldozers to graves. It resurfaces bodies in varying states of decomposition for their families to see. Israel uses the dead to attack the living." 1/2

will the dogs that ate the dead bodies of the martyrs turn into humans?

Fuck it, let's send Cuba aid ourselves. Help establish the flotilla headed for Cuba and stock it full of supplies and much needed help!! act.progressive.international/flotilla/

The gremlin accelerationist in me does kind of want a billion machine-pooped journal articles published by AI edited journals feeding back into the machine in an escalating hyperinflationary loop of scholarly commodity production that explodes into-- nah. fuck this.

The dent in that car is attempted murder by ICE.

AWP gonna AWP. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier." I'm honestly speechless.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

I was waiting to get a GFM link for Columbia Heights rent assistance to post as the non-amazon option but it didn't come fast enough and I recklessly posted anyway, so as usual if you won't use amazon visit standwithminnesota.com and please do something!

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Was at a F-ICE protest where reporter was getting frustrated that everyone's demand was to abolish ICE. she went out of her way to find the one guy who had a shitty reform position, literally telling him she was relieved to find someone saying something different.

friends in Minneapolis saying ICE is targeting schools and daycares and that patrols are extremely frequent. coverage has moved on. ICE has not. one friend's daughter's class made a card for a classmate who has not been able to come to class for several weeks out of fear of being kidnapped by ICE.

Tell me, aged ones, about this Sooooo-per Booouwl.

been trying to deepen my neighborhood connections, which I had really put off. a lot of snow shoveling. a lot of tiger balm. this winter is making it easy.

I agree that concentration camp is the correct term for sites that imprison immigrants. I also find it interesting that the term concentration camp fell into disuse during Biden’s presidency while the camps themselves remained…

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

the genocide profiteer map of Buffalo has expanded with the discovery that a plant bought by a German company has been shipping tons and tons of cartridge casings to an Elbit plant to be turned in to live ammunition. & a reminder that many federal agents, including ICE, have trained in Israel.

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

Local immigration activist told me ICE tries to cook the numbers by releasing terminally ill (often through their medical neglect i.e. torture) people just before they die. Whatever deaths they announce in their facilities, there's more deaths on their hands. #abolishICE
