“Disappeared” is how Argentines and Chileans talk about the citizens kidnapped by military regimes of 80s and 90s. Today Mexicans use it to refer to those who vanish in the cartel war. “Disappear” is a verb, noun & adj: When ppl are disappeared, they become los desaparecidos—the disappeared

While it's very politically on-brand for an Anarcho-Syndicalist to be posting Rudolf Rocker, this passage of his has been playing in my head a lot recently, for obvious reasons.
A Quote from Rudolf Rocker's 'Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory & Practice', 1947. Quote begins: 'Political rights do not originate in parliaments, they are, rather, forced upon parliaments from without. And even their enactment into law has for a long time been no guarantee of their security. Just as the employers always try to nullify every concession they had made to labor as soon as opportunity offered, as soon as any sign of weakness were observable in the workers' organisations, so governments also are always inclined to restrict or abrogate completely rights and freedoms that have been achieved if they imagine that the people will put up no resistance. Even in those countries where such things as freedom of the press, right of assembly, right of combination, and the like have long existed, governments are constantly trying to restrict those rights or to reinterpret them by juridical hair-splitting. Political rights do not exist because they have been legally set down on a piece of paper, but only when they have become the ingrown habit of a people, and when any attempt to impair them will be met with the violent resistance of the populace. Where this is not the case, there is no help in any parliamentary Opposition or any Platonic appeals to the constitution'.

Unimaginably disturbing that people from one country are being sent to a prison 'you don't come out of' in a completely different country by the government of a country they were living in. And people were warning from the start of The War on Terror that this would happen!

In 1933, center right politicians not too different from Schumer decided to voluntarily give Hitler power of Chancellor, and later complete dictatorial power of the country. They believed that giving Hitler unlimited power would weaken his political standing, somehow. They never held power again.

This is a really good burn but also to a significant degree I think the Dems just agree with a lot of stuff that ordinary people find outrageous and at least some of their apparent incompetence is actually a way for them to have some plausible deniability about their own beliefs.

The same law used to justify Japanese internments during WWII, among many, many other abuses. Usually ‘justified’ (to bend that word to breaking point) by the US being at war with someone. Which raises the obvious question: just who does the Trump regime think it’s at war with?

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.
Figure skater Madge Syers, doing a one-foot glideZhang Shan, Olympic gold medalist in skeet shooting, pictured wearing goggles and with several, uh, shotgun casings? in the air in front of her. Look, I know figure skating words for the most part but not skeet shooting ones.

I could have picked one of the pictures of her with her gun but the ones without Getty copyright on them were all potato-quality, and also I probably would have used the wrong gun word there too.

One of the points in my Great Depression lecture that always seems to surprise students is how radical the farmers got in their protests. In 1932, the head of a farmers group warned the Senate that his furious members would bomb them from the air if they could just afford an airplane to do it.

It has come to my attention that not nearly enough of you know about Bernd das Brot, the German children's program about a clinically depressed loaf of bread who enjoys studying his wallpaper and eating gruel and whose catchphrases include "my life is hell" and "I would like to leave this show."
An anthropomorphic loaf of bread with bulging eyeballs and hands that grow directly out of his body, next to his mouth, and look oddly human except that there are only four fingers. The photo is good but I must implore you to check out the video.
