Democrats Must Embrace War Mindset
We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.

It's Safer in the Front
Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

75% of our students live below the poverty line, qualify for free lunch, and eat their only two reliable meals at school. Now these kids and more will have even less. Average temps at night here are in the mid-40s/low 50s. I’ve known students who lived in tents. The kids will suffer.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

This is correct, in part - as the grim, military historian in me feels the need to note - it is psychologically much harder to get soldiers to open fire on people they view as 'respectable.' And I dread, with grim increasingly certainty, that we are headed to a point where that matters.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I have said repeatedly that we should try not to do this. The only way I can see to avert it is to capitulate, to stop resisting, to let them come and take away anyone they want without due process of law, and even if some of you would make that bargain, enough of us won't that we are back here.

This is a recurring theme today. While I was grabbing beer(s) off the Western Blue Line stop (northern) around 5:30 today, I heard horns honking and whistles blowing. Looked up to see bikes and cars chasing what I assume were feds west, people shouting "La Migra!" as they passed.

All variants of fascism are concerned with the management of perception, but this administration's specific brand of fascism is especially performative. They focus on intimidating and demoralizing because it is what they know best—and because it is not clear that they could win an actual fight.

Members of ICE do not see brown people as people. They are “illegals,” objects that are not allowed, do not belong, and are to be declared war on. There is no humanity or morality to appeal to.

My very first cat that I got in 2009 has only 8 days left earthside. I got her when I was 24 years old and she’s been by my side for everything. Her mobility is very limited these days; she often doesn’t make it into the box.

My supervisor at work said they “don’t agree with the violence or illegals in Chicago” and I just looked at them for a minute before saying “it sounds like you’ve never lived there. I don’t call people illegal; I don’t really even believe in borders” and I think it was too much for them to compute.
