With the US regime now attacking South Africa for daring to try to reverse the legacy of apartheid, and the cynical pinkwashing of Israel's crimes in Gaza, it's great to see South Africa's Prez standing up explicitly for #LGBTQ rights, (thanks to the advocacy of South African activists like #Iranti)

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
