Insightful writing here. It’s well worth your time. Please read and share.
DEMOCRACY: "Bigotry is an entrenched power system. It’s instilled, inherited, fertilized, prolonged, stoked and carefully tended," Donna Ladd writes.
Democracy | ‘Whiteness’ Is an Ancient Con. We Can Defeat It.
We don’t need “a coalition of humanity that agrees all the time, but one united to save democracy,” Donna Ladd writes.

disparate impact might be the closest legal acknowledgement of structural racism we have. so, of course they're going to attack it because denying structural racism is at the core of colorblindness, white innocence, victimhood, and nostalgia, racism, resegregation, and whitewashing history

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.
So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.
The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

Hoopla is also fantastic and free with a library card!
Worries me that not enough people know about library streaming service @kanopy.com Free to use with a library card & their film selection is getting better & better. Recent additions are a swathe of German, Russian & European film generally. A bright spot in a world of cultural enshitification.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

I really deeply felt the gay man I heard on the phone today who was exhaustedly saying to someone, probably not for the first time, "You don't have to BE that person just because you ARE that person."

I tweeted about this guy last night and got all these replies from random people who said he'd saved their baby's life. Fuck being rich I would love to have been this guy, imagine how cool it would be to know you'd helped so many people. We need to name an airport after him or something
