Ding dong the bitch is gone; and I'll be glad not to see her butchered face any longer, but make no mistake the system remains.

Do not let them distract you with a game of whack-a-mole.

No rest until abolition. Of ICE. Of CBP. Of DHS. Of every system that is predicated on dehumanization.

Who do I know in San Diego? I will be there next week at the SDPL and I am afraid that I do not have enough people there.

I will be talking about the Japanese American Incarceration, book bans, and what our current climate of censorship yields for us while simultaneous state sanctioned raids occur.

I commented on housing & homelessness last night at city council mtg & in addition to stating opposition to criminalizing the unhoused & forcing treatment for SUD, I cited your beautiful & vital book, saying the library has copies (ALL on hold, I'll add). Cool that coincided w paperback release!

It’s such an American thing to talk about experiencing comfort and closure from committing war crimes against completely unrelated countries

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.

they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.

for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

Just called Cantwell's office to say stop normalizing this regime and the staffer didn't believe me so I looked up the specifics and called back to reiterate. Absolute loser energy.

Poster's Madness A streaming PowerPoint telethon for mutual aid

Poster's Madness was an absolute blast, and an incredible success! We raised over $15k for three mutual aid organizations, tripling our goal of $5k. You can still watch a replay of the stream, and if you haven't donated yet, you can still do so through the end of the day postersmadness.wordpress.com

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said β€œwhen you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

Donald Trump, now chairing a so-called Board of Peace, has offered a dystopian vision for Gaza that leaves Palestinians under permanent Israeli occupation.

All gratitude to you because as difficult as it was to read what the families faced, it must've been so much harder to witness. I salute you and the courageous people sharing their stories. Will the paperback include an update on the families?

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US illustrates the predatory practices & barriers that prevent people with multiple jobs to get & retain housing. I rooted so hard for the 5 Black families in Atlanta & hope they've finally found secure housing. Thank you @brian-goldstone.bsky.social for sharing their stories.
