Some time ago now, I think, the twenty-four-hour news cycle fast-forwarded through itself and became an ouroboros self-devoured from inception.

rushthatspeaks that either of us has been able to manage since the late winter and then I spent most of the rest of the day having what I identified after the fact as PTSD. Yesterday was better, except for the news. Today I have just read that the man in the White House has declared antifa to be domestic terrorism, which should perhaps feel more like the gloves have come off than it seems to: the dogwhistles have been ordinary whistles for so long, surely it can't be the first time he has openly acknowledged that the government of the United States is now a fascist regime? What else does it mean to be anti-fascism and designated an enemy of the state? Well, bella ciao. The Minnesota Freedom Fund is now encouraging donations to local, especially Black/BIPOC-led organizations, so here's the Massachusetts Bail Fund and Black Lives Matter, because they still do. Previously this evening I watched a movie I enjoyed very much. How to be a person in a burning world. It's not like I haven't read the literature.
