I keep thinking that these are the latest in a long line of violehnt white supremacists. And how Whiteness erases its traces to seem seamless.

I only saw these photos of segregationists from the Civil Rights Movement era as an adult. https://t.co/j2YdXSBpXv

 Of course I knew about CRM. I saw the the photographs of MLK, Malcolm X, of CRM leaders. We were taught at school (and not just in USA).

But I didn’t see photographs of white people so full of hatred and violence.
Even as early as 1970s visuals of White hatred and violence had been erased from mass media (or what counted as that). It was entirely all pervasive by the 80s when I got to NYC, as a teen.

Instead media relentlessly peddled images of Black and brown men engaged in violence
I remember being at NYPL and the the shock I felt at seeing images of violent hateful White people - not soldiers, mind you. I am from a former colony and we knew white colonialist violence well. But these images of ‘normal’ White folk.
Much of the backlash from big name White Women journalists against ‘Karen’ videos and images is because they know those videos visibilise White hatred and violence, specially of White Women and ruptures narratives of their innocence, exposes their collusion and participation
Even with all the evidence we have, daily White violence is invisibilised in the press, in mass media, in our cultural narratives.

Despite all the evidence, White cops killing Black and brown civilians are seen as anomalies, White terrorists as lone wolves/mentally ill
And that is what Jan 6th attack on the Capitol has laid bare: White hatred, White violence.

And the most important part for me is not the press photos. These invariably focus on the most eye-catching, attention grabbing visuals.
The most important ones - the ones we should REALLY ensure never go out of circulation and remain available for use for teaching are the ones taken by the insurrectionists themselves, of themselves and eachother. From Schmuck Jr’s video to various legislators to average citizens
Because it is in these images that the full horror of Whiteness is laid bare: their hatred of BIPoC, their joy in carrying out violence against them, and the entitlement to do so (the shouts of ‘our house’), their absolute confidence in impunity, and most/worst of all...
the Unshakeable Absolute White Innocence that ensures that there can be no doubt, ever, that their violence could be wrong, unethical, immoral
We need these images going forward. Not just as evidence of insurrection and crime but also as reminders of what we face, struggle against, myst vanquish if we are to survive.

We must find ways to keep these in our public knowledge and imaginary going forward.

A detention hearing is about to start in federal court in Arkansas in the case of Richard Barnett, the man photographed sitting in Nancy Pelosi's office (see: https://t.co/GAAENhkxf0). He's been in custody since his arrest

Prosecutors alleged Barnett was carrying a stun gun. He's charged with entering a restricted area w/ a weapon, violent entry/disorderly conduct, and theft. There isn't anything on the docket indicating what the govt/Barnett will be seeking as far as detention v. release


We're still waiting for the Richard Barnett detention hearing to start in Arkansas. Meanwhile, follow @o_ema for updates on initial appearances in DC federal court today for a few of the Capitol insurrection arrestees -->


Richard Barnett's detention hearing is underway in Arkansas — Judge Erin Wiedemann will decide if Barnett should stay behind bars. The first witness is FBI special agent Jonathan Willett, who was involved in the Capitol riot investigation

FBI agent walks the judge through surveillance videos that the agent says show Barnett walking in and out of Nancy Pelosi's office, with a "walking stick Taser" on his hip, as well as the widely disseminated photos of Barnett sitting in Pelosi's chair with his feet up

I wandered down to the Supreme Court, where folks participating in the “Jericho March” are scheduled to pray for SCOTUS/Congress to oppose the 2020 election results.

Also here: folks wearing albs and blowing…smoke out of shofars.

The, uh, nature of the smoke is…unclear.


Another person is brandishing an American flag and wearing…a Guy Fawkes mask?

There’s a lot going on here, people.


As folks mull about, organizers are blasting an overtly Christian nationalist anthem.

“God bless America again, We need the blood of Jesus to wash away our sins…”


We’re now all being asked to leave because police say they’ve found a “suspicious package” nearby.

As people leave, some chant “four more years!”

Others, draped in US flags, blow shofars (without smoke).


Officer telling people “usually this stuff is short-term” (which, in my experience working as a reporter in DC, is often true).

In both cases, the person had to appear before the police and register the business. In the case of inland areas（Japan),

@RWPUSA the required documents included the consent of the parents and the proof of the parents' seal impression. This was also necessary to prevent crimes of kidnapping and forced prostitution.

1. Reasons for becoming a prostitute
2. Date of birth

@RWPUSA 3. Recently, If there is no nearest relative in the same family register, the consent of the head of the family must be obtained. If there is no one to give consent, the fact need to be provide.

NEW: After the violent and mostly White pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol last week, Black & brown people had to clean up the mess. Several told @Politicsinsider they were well aware of the racial dynamics. By @elvina_nawaguna & @KaylaEpstein ($)

The Trump supporters who broke into the Capitol left behind shards of broken glass and ripped-apart furniture, blood, empty bottles, and even feces smeared on the walls.

The custodial staff cleaned up in places where people were bludgeoned & in one instance fatally shot, & where dozens of Capitol Police officers were wounded. "It felt bad. It's degrading," said a custodial employee in his 30s, who works for the Architect of the Capitol.

Several Capitol janitorial and labor employees — all of whom were Black or Latino — told Insider they no longer feel safe at their workplace, which is supposed to be one of the most secure in the country.

They recounted the hurt of cleaning up after white nationalists who could have threatened their lives, and they feared what's yet to come in the days leading to and on Inauguration Day.

A thread on the life and achievements of Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jillani RadiAllah who served Islam infinitely as the Reviver (Mujadid) of the 11th Century!


Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was one of the greatest Islamic Saint, Scholar, and Jurist. The honorific Muhiyudin denotes his status with many Sufis as a "reviver of religion". Jilani refers to his place of birth. He also carried the epithet Baghdadi.

[1]

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani was born on the eve of the 2nd of Ramadan 470 AH. His birth was a great blessing for the Ummah. It was the arrival of the Sultan al-Awliya (King of the Awliya) of that era, which had been foretold for centuries before his birth.

[2]

When Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jillani was asked by someone what brought him to his high spiritual level, he said, The truthfulness which I promised to my mother. He related the following story:
"One day, on the eve of Eid al-Adhā, I went to my mother, who was then a widow and..

[3]

..and requested her, 'Send me to the path of Truth, give me permission to go to Baghdad to acquire knowledge, to be with the wise and those who are close to Allah. She cried, but she brought out 80 pieces of gold, which was all that my father had left as inheritance.

RISHI ASHTAVAKRA(DEVAL)

Those who are well versed in our ancient scriptures must definitely have come across the name of Ashtavakra Muni. Who was he and what is the story behind his body getting crooked from all sides.

Muni Asit was the son of Pracheta Rishi.


He was childless and this caused a lot of worry to him. But an Akashvani assured him that he should go to Shivji to get all his
worries nullified.

So he along with his wife go to Shivji and after paying him obeisance start singing Shivji's praises.

He describes Shiv as the one who is beyond any other thing, whose glory has no words to describe. After this the couple stands with folded hands in front of Rudradev. The strotras sung in praise of Shiv possess magical qualities even today.

Shiv gets satisfied by them soon and is ready to grant a boon.

Shiva told him that, he very well knew what the Muni desired. He then gives him the "Sansaar Vijay' mantra and asks him to keep reciting it. The Isht devi would come at an appropriate time and fulfill his wish.

Asit Muni kept reciting this mantra for hundred years. The Devi appeared and granted him the boon of a son as a Shivansh. A son was born and was named as Deval. He grew upto be a great scholar well versed and a handsome young man. Asit Muni got him married to Ratnamalavati.

1/ there is this sense when you are young that your accomplishments need to be a list of things that seem impressive to others. A list of several items you did.

This isn't actually right, so here is another suggestion.

2/ I remember being 26 and writing about reading 52 books a year. I wrote blog posts about it. They got copied. It became "a thing." Now it's in Twitter bios. It looks impressive but it's insanely useless and I shouldn't have done it.

3/ what I should have known at that time is that only young idiots like myself, with no accomplishments, find list of tiny achievements impressive. Anyone who has actually done anything of substance doesn't gaf

4/ what is actually difficult, and worthwhile, instead is to do ONE single thing for a very, very long time. It's much harder and much rarer and results in outlier outcomes much more often.

Of course you can find this out too late if you are chasing the dragon of Ted talks etc

5/ if I had only worked on a startup for a year, I would've gotten nowhere, the same way that if you lift for 3 months, it achieves nothing. Everything good in life comes from perseverance, but at the beginning, you're just like "I need to be somebody!!!"
