Humanity matters.
Goodness is not goodness that seeks advantage.
Without hope, without witness, without reward.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.
Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.
We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Thank you @victorerikray.bsky.social for calling this what it is.
Earlier this year, I argued that media needs to use the word "Segregationist" instead of anti-DEI, or "culture wars".

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.
Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.
If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

The Washington Post bragging about Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes, the political cartoonist who left the Post because it had turned into an anti-journalism partisan rag, is one of the most shameless examples of misplaced self-congratulations in recent memory.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

For all of these reasons and also because ableism and eugenics are a tool of fascism. Include disabled people in your movement work.
You should fight for disabled people because it’s the right thing to do. Ableism feeds eugenics. No one is expendable. Our value should never be tied to economic contributions.
Failing that, do it because one day you will become disabled. Given enough time, almost everyone joins our minority group.
