Hey friends! I’m psyched that so many folks want to read Mary Shelley’s prescient climate/pandemic apocalypse novel, THE LAST MAN, in community, in this, its bicentennial year.

Thank you
@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social
for your tireless efforts to protect families harmed by family detention. Juan needs medical care, safe housing, access to nutrition and a nurturing environment. Detention and deportation without due process is cruel and wrong.

The 2-month-old baby in ICE detention was so sick he was hospitalized and unresponsive last night. Despite that, today, he and his entire family were deported. Now we don’t know where they are or if the baby is receiving healthcare.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialism—the sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisis—despite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present. The people of the Americas live on: seguimos aquĂ.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country. There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.

This is what I mean about Congressperson Titone: she'll say what she thinks is right because she's unflinchingly focused on truth and accuracy. This is exactly the kind of person I want in government: someone who will issue a gentle correction even if it's not in her favor.

We need a better way to get the 3800+ kids out of ICE detention than this. We know Liam’s name and we can advocate on his behalf, but that isn’t true of almost any of the other people stuck in detention centers. We have to stop ICE on a systemic level.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

The people driving their neighbors' kids to school, showing up to take a turn patrolling, spreading info quietly on chats about where agents are lurking, stocking toy stores with free whistles, texting neighbors to check on them. BEING COMMUNITY. Which you can't pay for because we care for free.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Apologies for my delay,
#LastMan200
. I have been trying to think a way in to Chapter 2 of Mary Shelley’s THE LAST MAN amidst the horrors. But perhaps we can begin with Shelley’s meditations on the power of friendship, and on her yoking of gentleness to justice.
