ICE called and left a voicemail

 

‘You were laughing’

‘You were smiling’

‘You were driving’

‘You were resisting’

‘You were carrying’

‘You were helping’

‘You were living’

‘You loved your neighbor’

‘You loved a stranger’

‘You were not on the ground and worshipping on your knees, praying and thanking us’

(Get on the ground by the way)

‘You did not obey’

‘You hated’

‘You yelled’

‘You cursed’

‘You fell’

‘You crawled’

‘You asked for mercy’

‘Lucky for us we don’t want peace’

‘We want immigrants on skinned knees, bleeding mouths screaming for their family.’

‘We want barriers in place preventing you from providing them with food, we want to hunt them in churches and schools.’

‘No shelter for any of you’

‘We are coming for anyone and everyone opposed to glory of the fourth wall of the American Reich.’

‘We will come for anyone who sits in their house and does not salute us through the window, through the peephole.’

‘Do not beg’

‘Do not resist’

‘Do not ask any questions’

Americans are a vulgar display of power

 

Saw that post-font-whatever memo Governor Walz put out in response to the people being terrorized in Minnesota and lie to himself he won't be targeted...all well, so long Walz. I think though a foreshadowing was a silence on Gaza even after he was no longer on the ticket to appease Harris's camp. Now we get Klobuchar kind of 2020 dem primary feels except that was the happenstance of voter's foolishness. Besides Mamdani been a terrible time but I guess it's important that it's revealing. It's really terrible. Ten years to "prep." Tis a tragedy.

The American Reich is the Fourth Wall

Renee Good, Jan. 8, 2026. As a poet I think you would have understood

 

they crushed a human, a woman, a mother's head puncturing it open with the same worshipped shell and handle that hangs over the head of every citizen who wants to live

point blank declaring ‘she was nothing at all, after all’

when you question and are clear eyed about authority

 you are labeled at the propagandist media meeting hall ‘nothing at all’

gator masked life-is-at my-last-chance watched her crashed car

the citizen paramedics threatened with ‘you’re next!’

the usual audience on the 21^st century apocalyptic apps applause as usual

as usual as big comedy

as heartful filled laughter as thunderous applause ‘she was nothing after all’

the crowned antichrist narrates that the aspiring serial killers of the borderlands were running and demanding their life 

he commands ‘Be proud! Stand! Fight! My little solider vermin I hate you all but remember to pay me with crypto for your loyalty :) '

Laughter and Applause!

‘Yes, our daddy! Our king! My face is crying for your sword, it is sparkling!’

‘Yes, tread on me!’

‘No, me first!’

‘Please sir continue treading on all our fellow citizens’

‘We your peasants remember like clockwork to grip and grit tight our favorite constitutional right, the shell and handle that hangs over the head of every citizen who wants to live, but who cares about them only god forgives, father’

The networks wire the script

do not stand and do not forgive mothers who chose not to worship the authoritative father and husband if they don’t get back into the casket of the kitchen

plead for at least a third child to be screamed into life from a virginal bed

and heaven forbid the forgiveness and humanity of an artist?

A bible paper mâché contortionist?

 ‘God she asked for it’

 ‘Grok put fentanyl in her hand and her in a bikini and a knee on her neck that will smoke those rats out to protest that and then we can light them up!’

 ‘Light them ICE Light them!’

Laughter

Applause

Conservative script phantom writers and boardmen agree ‘she was nothing at all’

The demonic screed of a loveless jigsaw morals and face, who mouthfucks and vacuums the anti-Christ, a stammering hammered piggy squealing ‘LIVES DON’T MATTER!!!!’

don’t forget the liberal hit list death squad account parroting and morse coding ‘kill, kill, dox, dox, die, die’ LLIK MEHT LLA

mourn the blood and psyches that were scrabbled because they couldn’t deal with questions and discomfort that world they left it all behind

they are hypnotized awake appearing as any other day smiling among us thinking ‘lives don’t matter at all’

‘llik mhet lla’

‘it’s a shame she died but she shouldn’t have been there anyway, you look at the police the wrong way you got to pay’

All our citizens and lives held hostage for a worshipped border held together by a handle and a shell

 

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. A total bloodbath. The referee would have stepped in by now but they had knocked him out with a steel chair. The only others watching were either fascists themselves or the people trying to fight fascism with the power of love and kindness and they weren’t having a great go of it either. I kept trying to explain in between haymakers that we were better than this and on top of that it wasn’t likely to be ruled on favorably as far as the courts. None of it helped. I was on my knees now bleeding profusely from the mouth and nose. It spilled out of me onto the snow in a pattern that if you sort of squinted at it from the right vantage looked like a cartoon heart. See that I pointed. Look how beautiful the world can be I tried to say through my broken teeth. Alright well now he was pulling out a gun. I didn’t think we were allowed do that.

- The Rules, Luke O'Neil 

I'll never really understand how the idea that people have distinct lives and lived experiences that differentiate from other kinds of people, became such a heated melting down-foaming at the mouth kind of debate. Or that it is even considered a debate. How can people who aren't reactionaries or propagandists become so angry over it? Life is many different kinds of lives with many different kinds of people, all rubbing up against the other. And this is living life in the real world, people grappling with this complicated and nagging reality. Is this why so many are mad over it? Why is this considered intellectually lazy or elite college brainwashing? Maybe those people are more insecure in the world and their identities in it than they can bear to admit. Idk. Though they should figure that out before the fascists dismantle the capabilities of people to publicly speak about themselves and question their own lives. For one to be able to interrogate the place they occupy in the world, does it make pushing that boulder back and forth up the hill more bearable or is it more painful for them?

Today the 5th year anniversary of January 6th that only the Democratic party could fucking fail to give any punishment or consequences to, just let the fucker walk back in. And he did!

The party also willing for the past half year not stand up for Walz being targeted after the assassination of Melissa Hortman and barely acknowledge her (but flags at half-staff for Charlie!). The same list he was on to be killed. They allowed far right-wing media get away with their anti-immigrant crusades that could have gotten kids and the people who care for them at daycare centers killed. They will let Trump and the GOP have Walz be their target of a campaign to get him murdered and not lift a finger to say shit. Now he drops out and we get Klobuchar who helped Derek Chauvin not be looked into, though Dem defenders will say that's a lie (it's not). And also said Biden needs a WOC as Veep to block Warren (though she did not have a shot) when that was seen as a reasonable solution to the killing done by the police once again. Did you know Veep's Selena is rumored to be inspired by the nasty behind doors Klobucher persona is said to be and has terrorized staff with? Oh that is actually girl boss-get shit done they said when it came out by Dem defenders. Even if you have to eat salad with a comb you demanded from your staffers, while you say 'better things are not possible' about healthcare and college as you eat and the 'you're right Amy, better things are not possible' audience who love voting in primaries applauds.

Only the Democrats can make you feel it can't be better, and that they can't do better, and that they can't really stand up for what they believe in because being committed to beliefs without surveys and focus groups is not smart politics. This is the party that has set the conditions for Trump to be celebrating today. The GOP are a force of great evil but much of the Dems complicity deflates my soul.

Your soul is being rotted out if you celebrate today. Same goes for the kidnapping of Maduro.

What they mapped out for Walz is coming for Mamdani. Be on the lookout sir and sharpen those political eyes, hands, heart and knives.

 My mind is bewildered sometimes observing the intensity of how conservatives and the far right talk about liberals and the left online, that I have been watching since back in the later Obama years. I low key believe Fox News and some YouTube channels are like  "They Live" news networks, but instead of obey and consume it's 'your liberal neighbor you should watch out for them, you never know and you don't want to be caught off guard right?' indoctrination. A few years back I came across some comment section on Facebook that has left a permanent disturbance in me. This person was talking about how their neighbor's adult kids were liberals and the neighbor is in bad health and they wouldn't put it past them if their liberal kids did something to hurry it along. Another person was agreeing and commiserating bonded together by this crazy idea! Like how so you get to that point? 

I've known many hardcore conservatives throughout my life. I grew up around wealthy conservatives and then working class ones. I know an unfortunate amount who went down some dedicated paths of paranoid conspiracies later on. Some who weren't even conservatives, but I would never think that because they have those beliefs they'd knock off their loved ones. I have no understanding of how someone comes to this logic, because a family member of theirs is in ill health and pain that due to their political beliefs they are planning to kill them. Is that what some of you Republicans want to do or planning yourself if you got the chance? I uses to have a bunch of images I would play around with on my blog that was dedicated to conservatism and conspiracies, and I remember finding a conservative shirt that listed 10 good things about liberals and every numerical line is empty except number 10 concluding so poetically 'They die.' In this Trump era I'm sick of the eulogizing of some nobility of past GOP presidents and a most recent one before the maniac we are stuck with, that Obama restored and white washed a destructive legacy. 

This recent October I went to an exhibition on the Blacklist and Red Scare that swept the country on and off for a couple decades at the New York Historical Society. An excellent exhibition though it was disturbing how easy it was to compare the similarities of the present day. I wonder if that kind of exhibition will be allowed in the future, or will it be decried as wokeness and DEI paranoia. Demands and threats to take it down. To bad so many Americans who aren't even hardcore conservatives or conservatives at all, don't take the GOP as the threat they are. Another thing that has baffled me for years is why so many Republicans don't believe the left are sincere in wanting a better world and human rights. That we must be pulling the wool over their eyes with nefarious intentions. I don't know. A shame.
