“The original settlers of Massachusetts Bay Colony, founded in 1630, adopted an official seal designed in England before their journey. The central image depicts a near-naked native holding a harmless, flimsy-looking bow and arrow and inscribed with the plea, "Come over and help us." Nearly three hundred years later, the official seal of the US military veterans of the "Spanish-American War" (the invasion and occupation of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines) showed a naked woman kneeling before an armed US soldier and a sailor, with a US battleship in the background. One may trace this recurrent altruistic theme into the early twenty-first century, when the United States still invades countries under the guise of rescue.”

“The original void is amorphous, sterile, homogeneous, symmetrical. It is perfect. No reality can emerge there. It is absolute illusion. This symmetry has to be broken if a law-governed materiality is to establish itself -- an imperfection, in which real bodies emerge (but where can such an imperfection possibly come from? What sets off breakings of symmetry?). Of that imperfection, we --human beings -- are the trace, since perfection is of the order of the inhuman. We are also, however, the heirs of the Void, of the Nothing, of that primal scene of absence, that perfectly indecipherable and enigmatic state of the Universe -- a situation which will never be compensated for by the real and the hegemony of the real. We are the heirs both to symmetry and to breakings of symmetry, and our imperfection is as radical as the radical illusion of the Void can be.”

“The 'originalism' of which they speak
(they being the Supreme Court, the Federalist Society,
and affiliated lawyers and politicians)
treats the constitution
like Evangelists treat the bible:
they cherry-pick at whim
which tenets they will uphold
and which they will ignore,
and, also, which they will distort
so the text seems to agree with whatever it is
they're claiming.
Of course, it's as absurd to believe there is only deep truth to be found by
trying to get into the mindset of
a privileged white slave-owning land-owning cis male founder of this country
as there is by trying to get into the mindset of
whoever you believe wrote down the various pieces of the bible,
both old and new testaments.
And now they're chopping down the cherry tree
out in the open
with us all watching
(well, watching only when we're not getting felled along with the branches)
and they're speaking the truth about their intentions
in a document called Project 2025.
We all must read it carefully,
read it and weep,
weep and get angry,
get angry and build strength,
and then do all we can to stop them.
It's now, baby,
or never.”
