"Truly, I live in dark times! An artless word is foolish. A smooth forehead Points to insensitivity. He who laughs Has not yet received The terrible news. What times are these, in which A conversation about trees is almost a crime..." Bertolt Brecht. ph. Todd Webb , New Jersey, 1946.

Just finished Random Acts of Senseless Violence by @jwomack.bsky.social It brought me right back to my days growing up in the 80s and 90s just outside of NYC, but everything has gone even more wrong. The story feels crushingly appropriate right now. Highly recommended.

This is why JD Vance was in Europe claiming that the US values free speech. It is part of the imperial project to force Europe to allow Nazi incitement like the US allows.

Every day, they're testing how far they can take this. If they think they can take it all the way, they absolutely will. But we don't have to let them.

If the media won’t call it a Nazi salute then they’re definitely not going to say that someone was fired because they are Black or a woman. These outlets are complicit.

I've been thinking about putting together a collection of street art in our time of crisis. Should I? If I do, do you have any recommendations or submissions?

Im just smiling every time I see anything about his 11-12-13-70? children because if he was a brown man from India or Muslim people would be side-eyeing his procreative inclinations in openly racist terms but instead we get twee sneers or bare announcements in the media

This is a great question. Perhaps hoping that W would say something, anything really, is silly... But why haven't Clinton, Obama, Biden said anything?

When I interviewed to be a grad fellow at the DuBois house, they asked what lessons Dubois’ Penn history offered: “They are happy to say we WERE here, but they only wanted him here temporarily and in response to a social problem. They don’t want us as a permanent part of the institution.”

In this mirror universe Trump will continue to attack Zelensky for infinity because Zelensky is Trump’s exact opposite. Zelensky is a humble and brave, tireless patriot, who was also a fucking funny comedian and successful TV host. He is everything Trump could never be.

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin
