we need to decimate the 'horde' narrative--both through making individuals visible AND attacking the white supremacy of 'horde' narrative as hard core using our media system and community organizing as effectively and intentionally as white supremacists do.

which is to say-the immigration apparatus in the US does not exist separately from the police/detention apparatus. the media apparatus that creates and pushes the narratives FEEDS the immigration/policing/detention apparatuses (apparati?) in the US.

Chronic forms of enervation: "What accumulated across generations of Palestinian intellectuals was a structure of feeling that I would call exhausted vigilance...This was the permanent, draining alertness of those who must translate themselves into a language designed not to recognise their words."

You see the gerrymandering the south, & especially fascist Louisiana deals with? That is not democracy in Louisiana & other southern states by any means & the southern GOP does not rule by the of the people. They are still disenfranchising Black & other marginalized southerners, as the rule of law.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

When they think nobody is watching, they’re happy to charge a child rape victim w murder even as her father is only charged with incest. She is the ‘mother’ after all and apparently has a responsibility to fight off her grown father to save a baby when she can’t even fight him off to save herself.

The Cornell story is horrific, but I’d like to shine a light on what happened at LSU with a current football player on the team:
In July, the school found Shanklin responsible for "forcible rape" and issued a one-year suspension, which is a full ban from campus and activities, according to documents reviewed by ESPN. After Shanklin appealed, an administrative law judge who handles appeals per LSU policy upheld the finding that the athlete was responsible for "forcible rape," but reduced the punishment to four semesters of probation with no restrictions, which allows Shanklin to remain enrolled and on campus and to participate in activities as long as he stays out of trouble.
