I found this very interesting from @dissentmag.bsky.social written by @resnikoff.bsky.social. I respect anarcho-leftists (a lot in the academic anthropology field) but I found this article a good reminder of my own personal beliefs on the administrative state.

Abolish ICE. Really.
This is an interesting abstract. If I am reading it correctly, a city's (potential) dynamic, heterogenous population and cultural difference inside itself is more citizenship forming than a large state(?). Fascinating argument

ST PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Tim Walz, Democrats' 2024 vice presidential candidate, says he will not run for a third term as Minnesota governor.
Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not
Are American schools teaching kids to read in an effective way? Some researchers say that many methods for instructing students are deeply flawed, and particularly harmful for children with dyslexia. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Today with our last post of the year: @freeblackgirl.bsky.social on the fragility of body positivity, and what happens when a radical movement gets co-opted.
I'm so sorry Jennifer. I hope for a healthy new year for you. Keeping you in my thoughts.
Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way.

Breaking news: Trump is citing “national security” to halt all active work on offshore wind projects
Five giant energy projects, countless jobs at risk
My story explains how the argument has legal weaknesses and comes from an anti-wind policy doc I reported in January
Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power
So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

That Facebook ad where a co-worker looks at their other co-workers Facebook account to discover she likes KISS so he can give her a KISS themed gift for the office Christmas party is really creepy.
The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

As soon as the news broke about the suspect and the investigation, I knew Trump would probably do this. And now look

The most remarkable and disturbing thing about Trump/Hegseth's campaign of murder in the Caribbean has been the almost complete failure of other nations to vociferously object to the U.S.'s patent violation of the most fundamental of legal and moral norms.

The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.
Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

"Changes to centers and institutes were initially projected to save $4.8 million."
Bill Belichick's annual salary is $10 million.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.
Fondly remembering when David Graeber said Trump would be "wrapping up the imperial program."
I also want to start a DJ show on Mixcloud
My 2026 resolution is to continue discovering new music but hopefully going to a live show here and there. I saw too many 2025 shows happen I never went to due to anxiety so I hope I can overcome that to attend some event.

Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
