The bait & switch of late-capitalist technology is a sneaky thing. Nearly everything it's actually offered -- and then compelled us to take -- has diminished the actual value & sustainability of what was offered.

Interesting that they don’t apply “we’re not smart enough to regulate this” to, for example, abortion.

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

FIFA and the U.S. thought that by humiliating Iran in the World Cup and making their logistics difficult, would turn the world against them. Instead, the amount of support they received throughout this tournament is unprecedented. They represented their country with dignity and humility. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

This is an absolutely terrifying escalation by the regime. They have now criminalized our freedom to fight the crimes they commit against us and our neighbors. These protesters acted with extraordinary courage and moral clarity.

Early in Don DeLillo’s novel "Underworld," kids rush the turnstiles at the Polo Grounds in 1951, overwhelming ticket takers and cops. “Maybe four will get through for every one that’s caught.” The Trump regime is like this – a constant bum-rush of awfulness. And much of the corruption gets through.
