This is eight months old and still mostly current and worth reading/listening. Eight months and the only thing that’s changed is the scale of the devastation and the genocide.

'The most shocking thing about my time over there was how uncomplicated it actually is,” says Coates, who calls segregation in Palestine and Israel “evil.” “There’s no way for me, as an African American, to come back and stand before you, to witness segregation and not say anything about it.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

I only know his response on queer rights because one of his on-screen crew transitioned a year or so ago and he has been loudly supportive and defended her from transphobic assholes. If he were pro-Palestinian, I'd absolutely shitpost about voting for him 🤣

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...

This is why you wait for the lawyers to weigh in, bc you read the ruling and dissent with your normal brain and think it’s bad, but the lawyer will be able to tell you “Oh no, it’s much much worse.”

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

You should expect breaking news that takes massive rights away from American citizens from the Supreme Court on a regular basis right now, & be living informed by that. You should not be sitting paralyzed when they do the latest fascist thing. They've proven predictable, so learn their patterns.

STOP DRIVING IN BOSTON Roads were meant to be designed by people not cows Intersections should be 2 roads not 5 roads You should be able to drive a street more than 2 blocks w/o turning right and then left to stay on “Get in the left lane to take the right exit” - actual instructions from a GPS

If I was in the cannabis business I'd sell a strain just called "debate prep"

thinking of my old physics teacher after the school had a group of "God-inspired strongmen" put on a show ripping phone books in half with the power of Jesus, he spent class showing us how the physics of the tricks worked he wore wranglers and had a moustache and built his own telescopes 1/3

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters issued this memo today requiring teachers in all schools to keep a Bible in their classroom and teach from it as a historical document. (Via KOCO 5 News)

he had a cabin he built himself somewhere in the Oklahoma woods he saw me reading Atlas Shrugged and warned me to think critically he wrote my recommendation for astronomy camp and later for college there were whispers he was gay I was deeply, madly, and quietly in love with him.

there's no conclusion to this story. I left Oklahoma and the one time I went back to visit the school he had retired. Maybe I should see if I can look him up and thank him for being a lynchpin in my life.
