Highly recommend @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s “They Knew: How a Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent”. She wrote it in 2022.
Reading Sarah’s work has prepared me for this moment, and I credit her with making me painfully in touch with reality.
Surprised her books haven’t been banned, tbh.

Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest.
It is the original form of protest.
To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.

THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

The rich and powerful want AI to work SO BAD because then society is forced to question reality.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we’re closer than we’ve ever been to an Epstein file release. They’re counting on folks not knowing definitively what’s real.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Sarah Kendzior’s “They Knew” is a radicalizing read. It was published 3 years ago and very clearly outlines the evidence that helped me see the ruling class is bipartisan, and it’s beyond time for accountability.
ALSO, Bluesky suspended Kendzior this week for posting Johnny Cash lyrics in October.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end
