I will simply reiterate what I have said for years, namely that whatever their utility when it comes to individual psychopathology, the ideas of repetition compulsions and the death drive are super clarifying when it comes to the libidinal economies of settler colonial imperial violence

It was a pleasure to talk about the limits of β€œwhat is to be done” as the political question, mao and newton’s parsing of contradictions among the people, and Pinko’s book After Accountability with @maxfox.bsky.social

How and why police actually support the federal invasionsβ€”I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.

hard to express how angry this makes me. ICE intimidating people who dare to speak honestly about what it is they're doing. endless love and solidarity to Bea, Artie, their lovely child, and everyone standing up against bullies in uniform

thinking about the words of Klee Benally (β€œbe well, and stay dangerous”) and June Jordan today (β€œwe must become a menace to our enemies”) today. keep each other safe and give them hell

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalismβ€”and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

What all the crowd shots won’t show you is this energy extends to the rest of the metro. There are additional huge gatherings of people all around the cities, ICE watch is visible on so many street corners, walk a few blocks and you’ll pass people clearly in the middle of distro

To date there has been l...

Incredibly important new study from Cal Horton @fiercemum.bsky.social - the first to look at England's post-Cass child/adolescent gender clinics. Dr Horton found patients and families are being actively harmed, with one young person describing appointments as "the worst thing I’ve ever experienced”.
