Here's a guide to Furano, Hokkaido from me. lonelyplanet.com/articles/guide…

I called my rep to demand an end to this illegal, unauthorized farce of a war. 5calls.org/issue/iran-isr…

Fuck everyone who voted for Trump. Every last one of you.

Alex Pretti was a Minneapolis ICU nurse who spent his days caring for and saving others. Today, he was shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent. Alex’s life was extinguished by state violence. We must tell the truth about what is happening. My father warned us, “When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.” What we are witnessing now (masked raids, people taken without due process, vigilante, Gestapo, and slave patrol-like tactics normalized under the color of law) is a moral crisis. Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action. Congress must dismantle ICE; enact just, humane immigration policies; and ensure implementation of the policies by people who honor the humanity of Black and Brown immigrants, respect those raising their voices in support of immigrants, and seek the safety of community. The blood of those who are being kidnapped and unjustly killed by agents with impunity is not only on the hands of those who pull the trigger, but on every lawmaker and every court that has the power to intervene and chooses silence. Creating the Beloved Community requires truth, accountability, and the courage to act before more lives are lost. #Minneapolis #CallToAction #ShowUpCongress #BelovedCommunity

Alex Pretti was murdered.

Alex Pretti was a 37 year old ICU nurse who put his body between ICE and a woman they were physically assaulting. They sprayed chemical irritants into his face, beat him, and then shot him to death.

if you show a passport to an angry ICE agent, with immunity to do anything to you, what would stop him from just destroying it? what could you do, what could most people do, in the exigency of the moment? "showing papers" only works if the Gestapo is predisposed to consider you "white" & "legal." but even then, you could be a "leftist"-- fair game for violence.

Pretty sure Sinners is cheating this Oscar season. Ain't no human have a voice like Miles Caton. Coogler's actually down with aliens or some sort of supernatural entity. Y'all ain't fooling me. I'm too old.

Ten years ago,two weeks before my grandchild was born, I accidentally hit the panic button on a key fob to the alarm. The police came and after allowing them into my house, showing ID and at least three apologies they proceeded to assault me before leaving. Three adult men

look what they took from us

You can read the statement from Asna Tabassum in full here:

You’re lying. There was no attempt to run the officer over and no ICE agents appear to be hurt. Get out of our city.

when we say "keeping the recipes alive", this is EXACTLY what we mean

The burden of restraint is on the representative of the State. This is not difficult.
