In other news, we had this poem, Elizabeth Bishop's 'The Invisible Iceberg', yesterday in my Poem Talk session - and it's really staying with me.

Great piece by Golnoosh Nour: I was born right after a war & grew up under the threat of yet another war. I don’t recall exactly when this fear emerged in my psyche... But I’m so sick of saying that the Iranian regime is also nasty. So what? That doesn’t give other countries the right to bomb Iran.

"How can this happen here?" Well, much of the nuts-&-bolts infrastructure was already in place. Decades of growing paranoia post-9/11 & back to Civil Rights days (cf. 'War on Drugs') created a hungry beast growling in the corner for more flesh... @tempus-fukit.bsky.social puts it in perspective.

Hi, @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social - just a quick question re the PM "using his own words to rightly recognise both the contribution migrants have made over generations and to make the point that uncontrolled migration has been too high". When have we had uncontrolled immigration in the UK?

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

You want to know what non-compliance looks like? It looks like whatever the hell you want it to look like. It’s not about heroism or martyrdom. It’s about being a magnificent, ungovernable pain in the ass. It’s about weaponizing inconvenience, absurdity, and joy against a system that demands fear and obedience.
Throw a wrench in the works—everywhere, all the time. Fill their inboxes with existential poetry. Tape absurd messages in public places: “Authoritarianism gives you hemorrhoids.” Get petty. Get weird. Flush their toilet paper. Release crickets in inconvenient places. Spoil their scripts, trip their rhythm, yank the narrative from their hands.
Because here’s the ugly truth they don’t want you to hear: authoritarianism only works when the people allow it to work. It’s a performance, a bluff, a collective hypnosis. Break the spell. Mock it. Undermine it with your refusal to kneel.
But here’s the thing—this has to be everywhere. Everyone. We need resistance so widespread, so creatively chaotic, so utterly unmanageable, that the regime cracks under the weight of its own overreach.
Be bold. Be clever. Be feral.
And above all—DO NOT COMPLY.

A massive and classic rant. Two great phrases for the day: "a regime drunk on xenophobia and institutional violence" and "this industrial machinery of racialized cruelty" And yes, let's think about the mothers. The mothers in Gaza, too, I think.

I wonder what the mothers of those working for America’s modern-day Gestapo—ICE—must think when they see what their sons and daughters have become. Do they know? Do they turn away in denial? Or do...

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

"I learned with concern that a French researcher" on assignment for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) "who was traveling to a conference near Houston was denied entry to the United States before being expelled ," said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). "This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy ," he added
