If I can speak to the anxiety Klein keeps returning to since Kirk’s killing: Lines are made by drawing them, and then enforcing them. It is work that is repetitive, exhausting, oppositional and unending. It can only be done in solidarity with others. And it never stops.

As we prepare for the coming weeks, for the impending federal law enforcement surge and seemingly inevitable military escalation, I'm keeping the words of the late Karen Lewis at the top of my mind. "Does it unite us, does it build our power, does it make us stronger?"

Mount Pleasant is probably the greatest, most welcoming and neighborly community I've ever lived in. Block parties, neighbors knowing neighbors, arts and culture. This is so disgusting and vile. This is an attack on what makes our neighborhoods whole.

This is called price gouging, and it's a crime. Once again, the business model of silicon valley is to simply roll back consumer protections by means of it somehow not magically being illegal to break the law with an app. (Unless of course a psychedelic mushroom or copyright is involved.)

I received irrationally furious emails and messages from strangers who really really really do not like that I constantly tell people that: 1. Yes you need to know who your neighbors are. 2. We are interdependent and cannot survive without other people. These are basic true things.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Thinking today about how rich conservatives throw their money at 500 different people doing whatever they want and if 10 payoff they consider it money well spent while rich liberals will make you complete a 35 page proposal to hope to get $15k for certain prescribed activities.

re-posting this as a reminder that what happened in NYC this week was because people got off their phones and out of their bubbles. you can't build movements by staring at a glowing rectangle 8 hours a day - meet your neighbors, directly address each others' needs, and commit to doing the work.

One thing counter-proliferation advocates underestimate is how threats against nuclear aspirants create the incentives for prolif. Iran hadn't had an active nuclear weapons program for some time. Following Israeli and US attacks, it could v rationally conclude that it should re-start it now.
