"A Merry Life and A Short One" is a compact collection of my essays about pirates and piracy as examples of anarchy. In the course of the book I discuss pirates of the Golden Age historically and politically and make a case for exactly why they are actual anarchist examples. This book would be perfect for those who want to read about pirates or who want to examine the meaning and consequences of anarchy.

Dear (Associate, Chief) Justice (Roberts is Chief, all others are Associate Justices')
No on should be above the law. Reverse Blanket Immunity for the president. He is not fulfilling his oath of office, he is defying Supreme court orders and also not abiding by the US Constitution.

Economic Blackout on 28 February 2025: Take part & share the news
Do not buy ANYTHING on 28 Feb 2025, especially from big box stores!

I like the historian Timothy Snyder's observations about what has been happening in the US with respect to ICE recently, and why it is different from previous actions of this agency. I'll paraphrase him, so errors and omissions are mine.
Here's one point: masked thugs in mismatched camo are breaking laws that include abducting, assaulting, and executing people, and the regime is attempting to force us all to refer to this as "law enforcement". For all the many criticisms one might aim at US law enforcement, members typically wear blue, show their faces, and doctrinally aspire to behave transparently and professionally (please don't @ me with your critiques of law enforcement or hashtag ACAB comments; this is not meant as a defense, only a contrast. I've been beaten and teargassed by cops and witnessed far worse so I am acquainted with this aspect of US "law enforcement").
In other words the regime is attempting to change consensus reality so that Americans accept that the phrase "law enforcement" includes random, unprovoked breaking and entering by heavily armed masked men into homes or vehicles, assaults, and summary executions on the street, targeting all citizens. They want this to be a normal and accepted occurrence anywhere and at any time. Much as one might criticize previous administration's immigration policies---and one might really really criticize those---this attempt to shift consensus on "law enforcement" to include summary executions of anyone and all the rest is new (It is not new for certain groups; what I think Snyder is saying is that it'd be new for everyone to be targeted in this way, and for most people to accept that's just how it is now).
Snyder also points out that the border plays an important role here because it is where the country, and therefore the law, ends. In other words, it's not coincidental that the regime chose to elevate ICE. Historically, authoritarian regimes have a marked tendency to expand the lawlessness and indefiniteness of border zones to include the entire territory of the country, and the current regime is no different. Immigrants and immigration aren't the only targets here. The larger aim is to indefinitely suspend the rule of law nationwide by making the entire nation into a border zone (Recall the Texas governor kidnapping immigrants and shipping them to "blue states", a classic attempt to spread resentment of immigrants throughout the country). Again, this is a narrative move, an attempt to shift consensus reality.
So, one way to resist is to simply not accept either of these attempts to change reality. Continue to refer to what's happening as unacceptable, not who we are, etc. Continue to point out that out of control border "enforcement" has led to street executions. Continue to name these actions as the criminal acts of thugs. Continue to pressure people with power, such as lawmakers, to do the same. Not out of some misguided or naive nationalism or patriotism, but in order to keep a stake firmly planted in the ground against the forces attempting to move it. This is something we can all do.
Incidentally, all eyes on Haitian and Haitian-American people in Ohio over the coming weeks. The Haiti Temporary Protected Status designation ends this coming Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Haitians in Springfield were specifically abused during the Trump campaign. The US has a long history of abusing and dehumanizing Haitians dating back at least to Thomas Jefferson, so the Trump campaign rhetoric was no outlier or anomaly. Haiti is also one of the countries specifically named in the US State Dept's announcement about indefinitely halting immigrant visa processing. It would not be surprising if the next ICE "surge" targeted Haitian immigrants in Ohio given how the groundwork's been laid.

Anyway, here's a whistleblower complaint that will either change the course of American history or it won't.

I REALLLYY like the Send the President a Postcard movement, because:
a) I love postcards
b) I like imagining all the giggles every postal worker, etc will get seeing it
c) Everyone can do it
Please tell me you'll join in and send a postcard, or 2?

So a short infographic I've been working based on the talks I've had over the weekend and when the 5 cups of coffee finally left my body.
"What’s happening in this country to our veterans is not right."
A crowd of nearly 3,000 gathered Friday on the National Mall for a veterans' rally to protest cuts by President Donald Trump to veterans' federal jobs, services and benefits. Reject the fascist republican criminals.
Let me tell you: all Vets vote #Democratic no excuses, you have the marching order, #Dems in every race.

“Over 20 GOP & conservative former officials joined together to send a clear message:
Trump’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act is UNPRECEDENTED & UNLAWFUL
His move to deport individuals without due process cannot and should not be tolerated.”

Dear US Fediverse,
Did you contact your Congressperson today and tell them (again) to vote NO on the Big Ugly?
Please make your voice heard in some way. ☎️📝📠⏳
More than fifty of us took our protest of the Trump regime to the streets today in Galloway, New Jersey, USA. So glad to see many young people, even children, participating.
