Despair is the only cure for illusion. Without despair we cannot transfer our allegiance to reality - it's a kind of mourning period for our fantasies. Some people do not survive this despair, but no major change within a person can occur without it.~Philip Elliot Slater, Earthwalk

"Emotions need your direct involvement. They don’t need to be felt forever, or obsessively, but just long enough to have their say. When they know that you’ve really got the message, they disappear. If you don’t get the message, however, they stick around and wreak havoc." ~Raphael Cushnir

@tarabuster.bsky.social Tara, your show needs to be more than insult names for Trump. It’s stale. You have talent, but you’ve got to use it.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.
MSNOW headline: News
Trump administration plans to deport 40 İranians days after mass killings in Iran
Two of the deportees are gay and terrified of returning to a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, their lawyer says.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This should be obvious but debate culture is a zero sum spectacle organized around a collective humiliation ritual. The point of a debate isn’t to produce a new, intersubjective understanding. It’s to decide who wins. Anyone demanding you participate in it does not have your best interest in mind.

It's not difficult for a leader to give people permission to be the worst version of themselves. It's like a father who reminds his children that his gun safe is unlocked. There's no genius of strategy there. It's an abdication of power.
