The teen reports they have been learning about dopamine at school this week. Sometimes it's like him and I grew up in different universes. Not just different countries. Not just different planets. So far apart.

The teen has asked me 3x in the last half hour "what's wrong with you mom?" And the answer is Mommy saw too many patients today. Mommy's Monday was too hard."

Letting to the fancy academic language of this podcast just wash over me. Like a baby listening to Mozart in the womb. Not my job to understand this fight between Judith Butler and Jessica Benjamin that happened fifteen years ago.

So impressive and awesome.
The point is, folks in Burien got organized, got on the ground, knocked on 7000 (!) doors, and now we will have a progressive majority on council for I think the first time ever!?!? (Burien has only been incorporated for 32 years).
Big thanks to Vanessa from @workingfamilies.org for her leadership!

I'm not going to forgive a person who thinks I don't deserve rights because I'm different from them. They have a moral failing and they can atone for that far away from me.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The language that politicians always use to respond to allegations of racism, such as "I'm not racist in my heart," is always premised on the idea that there is a pure, stable interior self that can be abstracted from the way it acts in the world. We are all post-Enlightenment Protestants.
