I started doing this in bad times, and for a while the times were not so bad, and now there is cruelty and war that has ratcheted up so suddenly that it stuns you into forgetting that it is always there, has been there, has hardened into what American now means to the world. This war, these wars, are sold to citizens as necessary to avoid their own obliterations. Our obliteration, the casual trampling of communities as people, is the point. What this is, Kina, is resistance.
I’m behind on posting, as always, so it bears mentioning that I wrote this the night that Trump dropped bombs on Iran. Protect people from power.
