Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening
On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that: If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while...

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

I think that her being a white woman "mouthing off" to him is part of the trigger. He already likely felt "disrespected" by her wife earlier. To me, this explains some white people's "she had it coming" attitude. How DARE a white woman not submit to his authority? He had to put her in her place.
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement.

Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

Mark Walter, principal owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, serves as CEO of Guggenheim Partners, which holds ~$12 million stake in the GEO Group, a private prison corporation that operates ICE detention centers.

This is why the Dodgers won’t directly condemn the raids destroying immigrant families.
I don’t mind that the owners of the Dodgers are squirming right now.

Because they also own a piece of a growing system of concentration camps that hold folks like me in dark, painful, & deadly environments.

❤️ everyone agrees there’s a conflict of interest when MPs decide election rules. Here’s how things now stand:
👎Our opponents say “it’s no big deal…long ballots though, they’ve gotta be stopped.“
👍We say ”long ballots are no big deal… but that inappropriate conflict of interest needs to be stopped“

This excellent video builds out the case for public grocery stores.

This idea is landing super well with Canadians, who are tired of trading their paycheques for overpriced food so corporations can line their pockets.

It’s the kind of populist offer the NDP can win with! Join us: lewisforleader.ca
With grocery giants ripping off Canadians, it’s time for a bold alternative: public grocery stores.

Food analyst Aaron Vansintjan explains how a publicly-run grocery option could solve the crisis of skyrocketing food costs.
