Weird tapping sound high up on one of the walls of my apartment makes me think the walls are actually chalkboards people are writing on from the outside. Do I live inside a set of giant chalkboards? I hope the subjects being taught out there are interesting ones.

Haven’t read this for a long time. It’s amazing how much I remember of Pynchon's cutting observations and endlessly lyrical humor. His sardonic, head-spinning, bawdy tales are as American as it gets.

When Trump said he would consider deporting US citizens, he wasn’t joking. And he’s starting with American babies. If he can deport a single citizen without due process, he can do it to anyone. And if he comes for your baby, it won’t matter if you voted for him or not.

This is absurd and atrocious. Imagine sending someone to a brutal jail by mistake and officially acknowledging that, and then doing nothing to redress the matter. How cruel is that? How depraved is your soul? How uncaring and mean-spirited must you be? These are broken people who feast on hate.

No administration in American history, not Jackson w/ Indian removal, not Lincoln in Merryman, not FDR over the New Deal, not Truman in Youngstown, not Nixon over the tapes, not Bush with Guantanamo, has openly defied a court order like this, much less one unanimously endorsed by the Supreme Court.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery
