Hard Pass

The world is sliced up, each slice steered by a pounder whom claims overledge over all the people inside. The pounder are alived by it's veins.

It has will, law and force. The law is to create consequence, the will is to keep itself and friends alive, the force is to realize will.

The pounders transfers their overledge towards smaller bodies of might. Anyone breaking the overledge of might are breaking the law.

Pumperies are those bodies who seeks to maximize production. Pumperies are protected by pounders, and pounders are kept alive by pumperies.

Might is to steer from above, whereas force is to steer from below. Grip is that which is steered, commons is that which is ungripped.

Friendship of might constructs cogs of efficiency, the coggery.

Unendingly hungry. Consuming it's gulp day in day out, strengthening and greatening it's ability to consume more.

Grab, unload, tighten. That is the way of might.

Anyone assisting might in exchange for sallery are antlings. Many ant a third of their woken week for the coggery.

Pumperies and antlings set up veins towards pounders to keep them alive. Giving them gulps to keep them alive.

The agency is facing pressure to improve medical care in its facilities after reporting the deaths of 18 detainees in the first five months of this year.

And by "pressure to improve medical care" they mean "ICE hasn't paid for medical care since last fall"

ICE also killed people by doing things like leaving a blind man who didn't speak English or Spanish in the parking lot of closed restaurant in the middle of a winter storm in Buffalo

Last September, Ríhanna Kelver was standing outside the Crowbar & Grill in Laramie, Wyoming, preparing to start her bartending shift, when she noticed a group of men across the street. One of them was shouting in her direction, and Kelver heard several homophobic and transphobic slurs as he began approaching her. Moments later, according to court testimony and surveillance footage, the man shoved Kelver to the ground hard enough to injure her tailbone.

Kelver responded by drawing a pistol from her bag, chambering a round, and pointing the weapon at the man who had pushed her. She kept the safety on and never fired. The man and his companions retreated.

Today, Kelver, a 28-year-old trans woman, faces two felony charges—aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent—which could carry up to 15 years in prison. The man who shoved Kelver and who allegedly initiated the confrontation, known only as “S. Durham,” has not been charged.
