There are certain queer times in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

Idea for a new sport: american football but no bodyarmor or tackling. Instead of a field the players navigate a vast warren of underground chambers interconnected by hallways and ductwork, often finding special items that let them backtrack to previously inaccesible areas.

The reality is and one that many American academics and experts are unwilling to utter is that these are death camps and just because the ash isn’t falling from the ovens yet doesn’t change that reality.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

CHOTINER: And the pizza place, what’s it called?

ME: Dominos.

CHOTINER: Right. And you can order from your laptop?

ME: Yeah. Well, I can also use my phone. Sometimes that’s quicker.

CHOTINER: And all the food in your fridge and pantry. When do you eat that?

ME: Now hang on a second,

Looking south from the Pratt Street beach pier in Rogers Park. The downtown Chicago skyline is illuminated by the colorful winter sky at sunset. The colors also reflect off the icy waters of Lake Michigan. Several tall Sheridan Road condo buildings are in the foreground near the beach.

Looking north toward Evanston from the Pratt Street Beach pier in Rogers Park. The water in Lake Michigan is covered in circular ice chunks on a cold January afternoon. The sun is setting on the horizon.

Looking west toward Rogers Park from halfway down the Pratt Street Beach pier at sunset. Several 4-story brick apartment buildings have smothered the setting sun, which has just dipped below the tree line. A few ducks swim in the icy water, which splashes against a large ice shelf overhang.

Looking east toward the endless horizon of Lake Michigan from the end of the Pratt Street Beach pier in Rogers Park as the sun sets. Icy chunks float in the water and the end of the metal pier railings are smothered in a huge block of dirty ice from end to end.

North, south, west, lake. Even in the coldest cold of winter, living here still rules.

All of this happened with basically no help from elected officials of the opposition party. This was entirely the people.

"Fascism fills the power void left by liberalism's inability to deal with the crises of capitalism" is factually and historically correct, short, direct, and not hard to understand

But people are still getting mad at us because we've been saying for a hundred years and now they have to listen

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Transforming the Twin Cities into a state of exception is a revolutionary act. Assembling a paramilitary to impose such a revolution by force is treason. It’s straightforward analysis. What’s hard is accepting such an action can be conducted so openly without anyone making it for what it is.

Pete Hegseth praises ICE while demeaning the people of Minnesota

Pete Hegseth praises ICE while demeaning the people of Minnesota

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.

He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
