Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's elderly, his hair and chest hair is mostly white. He's wearing loose yellow cropped pants and his dark blue robe. Glasses on a chain are around his neck and resting on his chest. He's asleep in a white with flowers wingback chair. Buttons the seagull is sitting on the back of the chair, also asleep. There's a hot tea and a jug of beach flowers on an end table next to the chair. Stede will come inside from his garden to smile at his husband and their old sea-witch friend from the doorway.

Body cam videos of a Border Patrol chase in Chicago last fall appear to contradict the initial DHS narrative of agents executing a PIT maneuver—a nudging at high speed to disable a fleeing driver. Instead, feds blew a tire and crashed after a supervisor told them to stop the pursuit:

Chicagoan Marimar Martinez, who Border Patrol agent Charles Exum shot in October, just concluded her testimony before a bicameral forum on DHS agents' violent behavior in Washington DC. She concluded with this remark: "If there's no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Just thinking about that episode of
Star Trek where Captain Picard is
kidnapped by the Cardassians, and
they try to break his spirit by showing
him four bright lights. How many
lights are there, they ask? Picard
answers: Four. But each time he
answers, he's tortured. No, Gul
Madred says. There are FIVE lights.
There are four lights. Gul Madred
knows it, Picard knows it, we know it.
But his captors keep insisting: There
are FIVE lights in front of you.
This is not a post about Star Trek.

No one believes this is how our laws work—not even the ppl saying it. They are consciously willing a new arrangement of power into existence, one that sweeps away sovereign states, civil rights, courts…a revolution. They are calling upon a paramilitary force to impose this vision upon us. Treason

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday
Eyewitness account:
Good morning,
My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction.
I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend.
As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it.
We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

Ed starts to roll up his sleeves, watching Stede all the while, lips turned in a tiny smirk. He could be preparing to change a tire, prepping to get his hands dirty, but – oh, god. Stede groans embarrassingly loud as Ed descends on him again, kissing him fiercely while working to unbutton his shirt.

Alanis Morisette's 1995 album Jagged Little Pill. Six singles! All bangers, no snoozers.De Le Soul's 1993 classic Buhloone Mind State, which folds a funky jazz sound into their classic backpack hip-hop style perfectly.

Goodness knows if I'm even going to finish this in time, but since I'm in my Reno Cure feelings today, here's a little #WIPWednesday from 1975, featuring two character who have not appeared in the story before
I'm Mary.” She paused for just a second, letting the tension grow. And then- “Mary Allamby.”
Oh, shit.
As the floor fell out from under him, Ed scrambled for something to say, but all he came up with was- “Oh, shit.”
Mary acknowledged his recognition with a tilt of her head and a private smile. “You've heard of me.”
Heard of you? I hated the thought of you for years.
“Yeah,” he said instead. “Uh. Yeah, sure. Your work is-”
“I’m so curious,” she scanned the room idly as she interrupted him, like she was anything but curious. “Are you still screwing my ex-husband?”
Ed always thought he had a good poker face, but whatever Mary Allamby saw there made her bark out one single laugh. “Relax, Mr. Teach. I promise you, I'm not here to fight over Stede Bonnet.”
As if the situation couldn't get more miserable, Archie finally put two and two together. “Wait-”

Absolutely nobody asked, but: Stede insists that their anniversary is July 5, the day they hooked up in the blue hotel room and confessed their feelings. Ed says it's July 28, the day Ed got on the train. They argue about this for years, and not always in particularly good faith.
