From @mskellymhayes.bsky.social’s newsletter on Sunday. Violence is a tool of control that the state wields and delegates to make those deputized feel superior and like they have something to lose if they conspire with those targets of violence.
Screenshot reads: As Ruth Wilson Gilmore reminds us, our government does not simply maintain a monopoly on violence but also delegates violence. This has been the case throughout US history, as some people have been empowered to commit violence without consequence, while others have been condemned to endure it without recourse. These distinctions are felt most severely, and violence is exercised most enthusiastically when the status quo and those who benefit from it feel threatened.

The Hunger Games was a story about a dystopian empire which apparently was helpful for brainstorming how the US could appear to do something without actually addressing the purposeful starvation of Palestinians by Israel.

Read this about Aaron Bushnell by Frederick Joseph frederickjoseph.substack.com/p/the-unyiel...
This is an image of a poem that reads: The sky over Gaza weeps ash- So a man set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy. But people are tired of posting about it on social media. IDF drones have made Palestinian bodies unidentifiable – So a man set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy. But people feel it's taking up too much space in conversations. Gaza has been hit with three times the hell of Hiroshima – So a man set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy. But people already sold what little humanity they had to begin with. -Frederick Joseph

Understanding the Recent NYT Opinion Piece by Thomas Friedman through the Animal Kingdom.
White supremacists constantly spew narratives about how anyone who isn’t white, Christian, hetero, etc. is somehow animal. And then some of the columnists for the New York Times parrot it and boom. New column.
