The rightwing eugenic project now has its own army.
Mass illness is the point of concentration camps. It's not that the camps are failing, they are succeeding for their intended purpose.
On further reflection, ICE is more accurately described as Trump's Tonton Macoute. #FuckICE #DefundICE #ReleaseTheFiles

Anyone who thinks European libs "suddenly now" hate the US is a fucking mark Europe has used USA as a foil to disavow their own European colonial history and racism for decades, European libs and even leftists insisted racism only exists in the US and that USians are *various phobic stereotypes*

This is my song. “Those are the real stakes — not white children feeling guilty, but white children armed with truth, history and a righteous desire to work with others to change the world.”
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.
I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
A black and white digital ink illustration on a toned paper background. An homage to the original illustrations by Garth Williams for E. B. White’s book ‘Charlotte’s Web’. Standing in a wooden doorway to a barn is a contented looking young pig. Across the top hall of the doorway are several spiderwebs that have the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’ webbed into them. The spider who made them is hanging down on a filament at the pig’s eye level.
I know a woman, a successful writer, whose husband left her abruptly, and as he walked out the door he said with an eager, flashing little smile, “Someday you can write a whole book about me.” And she sat there and thought to herself: I wouldn’t waste a minute of my life honoring that man with my craft.

Thunderstorm going on right now here in Grand Rapids. On January 8.
"Greene hasn’t shown any signs that she wants to take accountability for her extraordinary contributions to the most venomous elements of Trumpism." 🧐
Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt.
This is cruel and unnecessary.
If you receive a notice, send it to us and we'll try to help.

"Pleasantly disquieting... There's much to savour in this Black speculative world where wealth, trade and magick intersect, witchery and martial arts merge in action, much action..." Eugen Bacon, Aurealis Magazine #172

A point that Wallerestein made often: as overall US power declines, it overplays its best card—military force. But each time it does so, it accelerates the decline of its overall power. SeeVietnam, Iraq. Violent coercion is the strength of the weak.
Country 9 in global oil reserves has invaded country 1 and arrested its president. Country 7 is under sanctions and its refineries are being destroyed. Country 2 is facing off with country 6. And there are riots in country 3. But oil is only $60/bbl. Maybe oil is not as critical as it used to be?
This is specifically why conservative Christians voted for Trump. They have the same interests.
So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

This is what my afternoon looks like.
Since collecting Heads of State is the new rage, we have a clapped-out orange president with the mental capacity of a Big Mouth Billy Bass, along with his semi-functioning replicant wife. Free to the first taker, but you need to pick them up yourself. Needs disinfecting. Kids included.
