I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

The fact that Hurricane Simon overlaps with the first NHC forecast cone of newly-minted TD21-E is heartbreaking. People who were just affected by one hurricane are now in the potential path of another one. 😩😔
GOES-West infrared image (band 13) from 15 UTC 13 October 2026. TD21-E is located in the lower right (southeast corner), and Hurricane Simon is located in the upper left (northwest corner). The NHC forecast cone is shown by the cyan-black dashed line, and the cone overlaps both Simon and the portion of coastal Mexico recently impacted by Simon.

Some days when I feel resentful about having spent years explaining that criminalization is the fuel of fascism which is why we have to reject criminalization, I remember that perhaps the time I say it might be the first time someone has considered the idea. So I keep saying it and keep organizing.

Kajuji Temple, Yamashina Ward, Kyoto, Japan. Photography by Katsu
Framed by the dark timber posts and open doors of a heavy wooden temple gate (mon), a wet gravel path glistens following an autumn rain at Kajuji Temple in Kyoto's Yamashina Ward. Shallow rainwater pools mirror the brilliant red maples (momiji) that burst into fiery color along the approach, their scarlet leaves contrasting against evergreen shrubs and the mist-veiled, wooded slope of Mount Ogurayama in the distance. Overhanging grey roof tiles (kawara) form a dark upper border, while a simple bamboo railing guides the eye deeper into the mossy garden sanctuary. The scene awakens a deeply contemplative sensory environment: the gentle, crisp scent of wet earth, fallen maple leaves, and rain-soaked cedar timber, the crunch of crushed gravel shifting underfoot, the cool touch of autumn air clinging to the skin, and the soothing sound of rain dripping steadily from the curved eaves into puddles below.   Founded in 900 AD by Emperor Daigo in memory of his mother, Fujiwara no Tane-ko, Kajuji (also read as Kanjuji) is an ancient temple of the Shingon sect of Esoteric Buddhism with deep imperial connections (monzeki). Located in the quiet eastern Yamashina valley of Kyoto, the temple is celebrated for its historic strolling pond garden (chisen-kaiyū-shiki teien), centered around the historic Himuro-ike pond, which in medieval times was used every winter to forecast the coming year's harvest based on the thickness of its ice.

Progressive theater groups have been at the heart of Indian protest movements since the founding of IPTA (Indian Progressive Theatre Association) in 1943. It’s no wonder that Neha Bora, one of the most effective and charismatic protesters in the current movement, is a part of that tradition.

There is NO industry that is untouched by prison labor. Not one. Men, women, and children as young as 14 make everything from clothes, furniture, electronics, and canned foods to building materials, school buses, and office supplies. Incarcerated women sew the uniforms for McDonald’s.
