Ahem, from 2014…

This short film is, in my opinion, a masterpiece. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

These Connor Woodman essays from 2020 remain timely and are an excellent introduction to “the imperial boomerang effect”. They go a long way in helping make sense of how ICE is allowed to terrorize and kill Americans in the “heartland”. #ice #imperialism www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/t...

#Ministry nailed it in 1989. m.youtube.com/watch?v=oVHU...

This open murder of an unarmed citizen is shocking even though it was always going to happen. It was an inevitability, and there have been plenty of voices saying so for the past two years. Every editorial decision to ignore those voices in favor of soft-selling this regime contributed to it

Give this a listen. It is a fantastic introduction to the dynamics of authoritarians/authoritarianism and the people it attracts.

Hitler killed his dog in a bunker. #Noem killed her dog in a gravel pit. Just saying….. #history #facts

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

1. The military raid on Venezuela and ouster of Maduro will create a financial windfall for a Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer. Follow this thread for details. 🧵 popular.info/p/venezuela-...

"When knowledge arises and we don’t get attached to it, then we don’t get deluded by it. That’s when it can be useful." – Ajaan Suwat Suvaco, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

He wants to loot Venezuela and then loot the Western Hemisphere.

This was the most dire and chilling line uttered.

Fucking ghouls.

The repercussions of this will be unpredictable and long lasting. I’m nauseous. We’re fucked.

One of my last paintings of 2025. It wasn’t the easiest or most productive year in the studio, but I feel like I made a bit of a (small) breakthrough. Acrylic, graphite and cold wax on Evolon, 10x10in. Soon to be available on Artsy. #art #painting #abstract #evolon #coldwax #artsky

I’m almost 60. I grew up in rural Vermont, a white monoculture through and through. Reading this, I can only assume the author has some form of disability and r cognitive impairment. Yet he writes for a so-called “think tank”. Astounding. #white #fragility #grievance

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Some of you will believe any horrific allegation about our president merely because it's fully consistent with who he is

This helps make some sense for understanding my mother’s lineage and faith. Both sides of her family, Philbrick and Fellows, trace back to 1630 crossings from England to New England. Yet her family was Catholic. So much so her sister, my aunt Sue, was a nun. Much remains unclear and likely lost.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking." It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Calvinist snake oil. Fuck this ghoul.

"One of the women went into the ER for a C-section and was diagnosed with preeclampsia, a complication that can cause significant swelling. Staff were worried her smartwatch would cut off her circulation ... 'She had this deep fear that ICE was going to come to the hospital and take her baby.'"

What was that the late President Johnson said? "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception!

Anyone else want to put Tom Cotton on top of a capsized boat in international waters miles away from Venezuela and see how helpless he is?

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

The Democrats called out racist shitbags and serial sex offenders. If you heard those attacks and felt they were calling *you* out personally, then that's entirely on you, champ. The rest of us white guys didn't hear that. At all.

Taking my rage out on this old ass (vintage) doorknob trying to release its spindle.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

@democrats.senate.gov are like the appendix. A vestigial structure that is useless and forgettable most of the time except for moments of crisis when it tries its best to kill you. With surrender on the ACA their cowardice could put ten of millions of Americans into a potentially deadly crisis.

Schumer’s term is until ‘28 and Gillibrand’s is ‘30. But if they capitulate and help the GOP strip healthcare from millions of us, I sincerely hope I’m still alive so I can fully devote my self to seeing them replaced.

This is an absolute must read. Perfect.

A little mishap on the #BQE

We're going to have a computer do the phrenology

Great read.

Wishing It Could acrylic, graphite on evolon 10 x 10 inches 2025

“Innocent Christians” are an extreme rarity after 2000 years of blood soaked Christian history.

Great read.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Feeling like this may be the last free and fair election that I’ll get to participate in. At least for now. #nyc #election #mayor #mamdani

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Concentration camps.
