Got to connect with my matriarchal direct lineage, at a proud moment that Vaginal Davis opened her first retrospective in the United States at MoMA PS1. Here adoringly with Vag and my dearest Kembra Phaler. We exuded joy in a long awaited togetherness

Some wax models for micro sculpture jewelry: rings and pendants heading to the foundry tomorrow. Teeth pendant; tiny pinky pendant; quantum warp pendant. The nipple finger cuff will be a lot to take in.

You probably know that marines are trained as killing machines and not for civilian or community law enforcement. Posse comitatus act makes use of USMC to enforce civilian laws a crime which is punishable by 2 years in prison. 2 years seems cheap for an act of war on civilians

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

Preparing my house and body for surgery on Monday: total hip replacement to hopefully permanently stave off a technically incurable bone tumor disease in my hip. The new ones are fancy and you can run with them. Can’t hardly wait. Hopeful pic of me by Sabina McGrew with my favorite trichocereus

Tens of millions of Americans do not have passports and the working poor can’t afford to get one. The SAVE act looks a lot like a hefty poll tax, and voter suppression.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor
). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

So international news reporting that USA has lost its status as a democratic nation. This is driving the travel advisories from g20 nations and has led to everyone crossing into this country with protocol for authoritarian borders: burner phones and wiped devices. Wildly underreported 💔

My friends who have green cards are being advised that travel is risky for anyone without citizenship and arguably is risky for everyone. Like if scientists have to travel with burner phones you’re pretty deep up in some authoritarian bullshit. Fascism is extremely stupid

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.
