Hey. Focus. The Oscar-winning co-director of NO OTHER LAND was just "lynched" by settlers and abducted by IDF soldiers in the West Bank. This was witnessed first-hand by his co-director.

We need to tread eugenics with the seriousness we treat the most vile forms of bigotry because eugenics is what turns those bigotries into action items.

“the” “and” “but” “this” “that”
Even those had been destroyed
The poets awoke one morning to find that along with that
More portentous words like “truth” had disappeared”

Anti-vaccination rhetoric is also a policy failure.
Healthcare is so expensive people turn to alternative healthcare settings and groups which lead them to conspiracy theories and the alt-right.

A hard thing about this time that doesn't get talked about enough is seeing many people act as if everything is unprecedented when it's not. These are issues that movements have worked on for so long. It can be frustrating, even as welcomed sincere outrage builds. Find support amongst your people.

When ‘leftist’ organizers require masks at their events but don’t, like, mask up + do mitigations everywhere else, they’re saying, “hey disabled people, come to our events but you’re not really our friends or actually part of our lives.”

I cannot emphasize this enough
Talking smack about people who refused to vote for someone who
A. Didn’t try to win their votes
B. Was actively supporting a genocide
Makes you sound like a shit and will age like curdled milk sitting in the sun

“DEI” being another way of not having to talk about anti-blackness is pretty infuriating. So many opportunities to properly engage this linguistic obfuscation when the right went after “critical race theory,” “woke,” and “affirmative action,” but nope not really.
Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.
