Apparently, the Pentagon is in disarray because of Hegseth – I’m wondering if this weekend, all the actual gangs in America, maybe even in the Americas, across geographical and racial and cultural differences, might unite and rise up and exert some real disruptive and destabilizing resistance to the current U.S. corporate regime – with the probable effect of pushing us into an overtly militarized society, another step toward fascism, or rather, at this point, deeper into it – but also with the possible effect of helping birth one of those other worlds that have become possible

Do the gangs have a Project 2025? (Do the Democrats, the left, progressives, radicals?) More important, do the communities themselves, those directly and broadly under assault, have an awareness and consciousness and intent about what is happening, what might happen, what they might want to happen?

Guys such as myself start out, somewhere in youth or childhood, and still are at heart, really quite empathic and aesthetic, passionate and caring, grounded and energized – but then social pressures malform us, and we become partial and resentful, fumbly and unsure of ourselves

Though in my case, even earlier on I was robbed of – or more constructively, happened to fail to develop – a basic trust that things will be ok, for me and my family and in the wider worlds
