March 21 2019 - After declaring victory in Baghouz, the last remaining IS enclave, the antifascist YPJ fighters took down the last black Daesh flag of cloth that still waved in the village and replaced it with their own.
The YPJ fighters devoted their victory to “all women in the world, but especially to the Yazidi women”, wishing them a happy Newroz. [video]

No new material, but we changed the order around in an attempt to shake off the vibes from last night. I think it’s the first time we didn’t do “Clean Getaway,” and Dan resurrected “Imitation of Christ” (rim shot!) for the first time since we were so rudely interrupted in May. We were supposed to go to a house party, but no one really felt like it with Skip all defensive.

Happy new year! Happy anniversary, for that matter. Happy happy joy joy.
That’s not sarcasm either. After Christmas and the full moon, Skip and I really talked for the first time in years. I explained to him we like him, but this is a job, and he has to take it more seriously if he wants to stay on. He surprised me by wanting to come to practice and even write a song. Wags and I took him out for pizza, and it wound up a lot less awkward than anticipated.
I wrote a song that’s sort of about Skip, but it’s sort of about politics too. It’s called “Yellow Dog” since “Old Yeller” already was taken, ha ha. We played it tonight at Michael’s, along with a cover where Dan goes all psycho killer. It’s called “Talking to a Stranger,” and I can’t figure out what about it’s so scary, but Mark had everybody dancing to it. Even Skip! It goes on forever.
After that we sat around and had drinks. Awesome night.

On this day, 3 June 1924, Jewish socialist Czech author Franz Kafka died of tuberculosis in Austria. A prolific author, his short story Metamorphosis was a damning critique of how society treats the ill and disabled, and The Trial, his most famous work, is a masterful condemnation of state bureaucracy: hence the term “Kafka-esque”. This is an interesting article about his politics and activism: https://libcom.org/library/franz-kafka-libertarian-socialism https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1137615899756892/?type=3
“ ICE said the private workers at the Tacoma Immigration Processing Center are being threatened and the ICE agents who go out and make arrests are getting harassed. ‘Those incidents when there are bystanders who are disrupting the encounter we are attempting to conduct with the target,’ said Nathalie Asher, ICE regional director.”
Good.
