On the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

Are you planning flying in the coming months? Consider train...
"The executive director of the International Energy Agency, said there would be flight cancellations “soon” if oil supplies from the Middle East were not restored within the coming weeks.
KLM, part of the Air France-KLM group, said on Thursday it would cut 160 flights in the coming month because of high kerosene jet fuel prices."

@… I answered based on international travel, as that’s where I’ve done most of my flying. There it’s around 3 hours because I, like my mother, become a restless mess starting like 24 hours before I’m going anywhere.
I barely ever sleep the night before.
For US domestic, which have become more common for me lately, I’ve been purposefully trying to break the habi…

The Trump administration has been clear in its targeting of the Somali and Latino communities through Operation Metro Surge.
President Trump called people from Somalia “garbage,”
said “we don’t want them in our country,”
and told them to “go back to where they came from.”
Following Trump's comments, ICE and CBP agents have indiscriminately arrested
— without warrants or probable cause
— Minnesotans solely because the agents perceived them to be Somal…

Kender I podcasten The Europeans? Jeg har arbejdet på at erstatte min diæt af amerikanske politiske podcasts med danske eller europæiske og er blevet rigtig glad for deres nede-på-jorden men samtidig grundige gennemgang af europæiske nyheder. Og de har et udsyn jeg kan lide, se fx denne anbefaling fra dem:
“So go get your beautifully designed copies of the European Review of Books or even take out a subscription if you're feeling generous.
Because they're another independent pan-Eur…
