This week things have taken a turn for the worse in the USA. Since Trump 1.0 I've been wondering "what will his Reichstag fire look like". Apparently it's going to be a series of incremental dumpster fires.

¿Sabías que la palabra 'woke' nació en el año 1938 durante la segregación racial del sur estadounidense?
Interesantísimo este texto de Troy Nahumko sobre la evolución y los intentos de ridiculizar y acabar con el poder de esta palabra. Lean.

‘Woke’: la palabra que no quería morir
Registrada por primera vez en 1938, durante los días de segregación del sur estadounidense, resuena igual de clara aquí y ahora. Más vale estar despierto para defender nuestros derechos

When I first joined (by invitation, two years ago) English was effectively the only viable option. Now I'm wondering if I should have two (or three) profiles. I can't really see myself posting trilingually (English Spanish and Catalan) every time. Any thoughts or suggestions?

"Sadopopulism". Makes sense. What really amazes me is the fact that so many MAGA supporters identify as Christian. I guess I missed the part in the Gospel about hating they neighbor.
But stimulating hatred isn't the exclusive purview of the right...

Sadopopulism and the Fascist MAGA Ethos
Trump’s policy is to inflict pain, even upon his own voters. But why does this work, and what will stop it?

I'm not going to let the fact I live in an apartment stop me having Christmas dinner by the light of a roaring fire. OK.. it's not the same. But wood fires are terrible for indoor air quality! 🎄🎄😁

“Everyone’s so divided!” they cry, “We need to compromise!”
Yeah, but we’ve BEEN compromising for decades now (Clinton and Paul Martin were big on this) and all it’s led to is useless liberals giving fascists what they want. Enough with this.

Koch funding a “Polarization Research Lab” is the perfect example of how reactionaries are eagerly using “polarization” laments as a strategy to shift blame and attention away from the extremism they exhibit, support, and enable.

Reminder that what Israel is doing is being driven by a prime minister who has been indicted, who knows that he is ousted the second Israel goes out of crisis mode.
He is going scorched earth on an entire population of human beings in part bc he is panicked and out of ideas.
