I don’t know enough about Natalie Portman to see her in this book but I’m enjoying it and loving that a baker at work is enough so that the ‘border between representation and reality becomes unclear’! Remy is less impressed.

A capacious & racialized def of terrorism permits this violence. Simply saying the civilians are suspected “narcoterrorist” licenses profound violence—all in the name of “homeland,” which is always racialized as white. That’s just one way the war on terror operates with limitless capacity.

In the richest city in the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry. That's why we're opening five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough, starting with The Bronx. Lower Prices. Good food. Publicly owned. Hunts Point next year. Every borough by 2029.
