Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is such a special movie, I saw it two nights in a row. I love to watch Mahershala Ali work because he’s so breathtakingly beautiful and expressive and he brought something so amazing to this film. The cinematography is gorgeous and looks stunning on the big screen

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say

Federal agents have searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation. That's according to people familiar with the matter.

Who will clean any of this up? 
At a church service in Chicago they had set up cardboard cutouts in the pews to represent the worshippers who would have attended mass if not for fear of being disappeared. Not far away I saw a laborer’s lunch had been left uneaten and spilled over onto the sidewalk outside of a home he must have just been working on. Laboring on. There’s a dumpster out front and a red white and blue flag themed porta-potty from a company called Patriot Portables. Three ladders still leaning up against the building. 

It looks like it would have been a pretty tasty lunch. Even tossed aside like that and wasted now. A smear of orange hot sauce on the cracked styrofoam container. Not yet taken away by the wind. Such a beautiful seeming neighborhood too. I imagine it’s a very nice place to live. They say that Chicago is still surprisingly affordable. 

It shows me home listings when I scroll now because I clicked on one or two at some point and so the computer believes that this is an integral datapoint that explains who I am. I just saw one hanging ten off a bluff that has been pummeled by eons of waves and so will not exist for much longer. Neither house nor bluff. Overlooking the water on Cape Cod. You could squeeze a couple of good years out of it still I thought. Until one awful night. I can’t afford it even now despite the implication but it’s a nice little nightmare to have. 

I thought of a friend who was recently diagnosed with a terrible albeit not yet terminal disease but maybe that’s a bad analogy. A beach house is worth so much more than a person. 

I don’t know how much longer it will sit there. Either the house or the guy’s lunch. Maybe everyone passing by assumes another worker is going to arrive soon to take care of it but it could be he’s already been disappeared himself.

On Saturday @jpinckney.bsky.social saw a man in his Austin neighborhood being kidnapped by ICE. Every day since then he's passed by the car, still sitting there, a horrifying lonely symbol of what is being done. www.welcometohellworld.com/his-car-is-s...

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

I had a first date with a guy last night who wore a Dr. Pepper t-shirt, let me pay for my own food, ordered chicken tenders and told me that I should know he is “snipped” “in case this blossoms into a relationship” 😐

9/11 could have been a moment for the country to pause and consider how the costs of maintaining a global empire meant supporting regimes like the House of Saud. Instead, it became the moment in which the empire began to turn inward--which eventually grew into the fascism we're experiencing today.

During GWOT, the military often called these "target teams." DHS is signaling to contractors it wants to spend $100M+ building an in-house capability set up the same way the military, NSA, and CIA operate to replicate their find, fix, finish, exploit, analyze, disseminate (F3EAD) methodology.
