And deportation. And rejecting asylum seekers. And most horrific US foreign policy that was bad under Obama and worse under Biden.

If ecological impact wasn’t enough, time to bring your indoor cats inside for your safety and theirs.
KEEP CATS SAFE—there is clear proof of cat-human household transmission of bird flu. CDC scientists posted the data—but suddenly deleted soon afterwards. CDC is being blatantly muzzled.

Whiteness depends on the marginalization of the global south and those deemed “other.”Capitalism is convincing poor whites they have more common interests with oligarchs than their socioeconomic peers.
Hopefully the leopards eating faces leads to self-awareness sooner rather than later.

And there's white cishet men out there who think "oh well that still means I'm safe" but if we get to that point suddenly it'll be "just how white are you". The past shows us that there is no real solidarity in whiteness once other groups are gone.

Deciding not to ingest “news” on a loop or reacting to every sound bite out of the mouth of some pontificator, isn’t the same as being ignorant to what’s going on around you. Those choosing peace are curating a “minimum necessary” knowledge experience.

So, a flipped classroom? Class time that is student-centered rather than teacher-centered?
I do that, and I didn’t need AI to create that curriculum.
