hey, passover starts on the 12th, not the 5th
thanks for all the great events you do!

Nondisabled people got asked to stay home for two weeks and wear a mask for a handful of months and went and did a fascism about it.

Sincerely, folks in the dominant (especially white) paradigm can’t stand the idea of taking care of each other. They’d rather destroy themselves.

Would this be a similar social crisis if it happened to women consistently for decades and decades and decades, and would it be appropriate in that case to take countervailing action rather than categorically oppose all countervailing action, is a question that occurs to me for no particular reason

The History of White People in America - Independent Lens Musical animated series dedicated to telling diverse stories that chronicle the shaping of race relations in America.

I'm teaching Religious Nationalisms this term. Our case studies focus on white Christian nationalism and Hindu nationalism.

Two useful teaching resources on whiteness in America:

REMEMBER KIDS
when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query
Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down.
This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

They’re also firing generals and attorneys for the crime of not being male.

Being a Black person and being a woman makes a person DEI, apparently. Not a DEI hire, but DEI itself. Per the NYT.

why is cajun seasoning literally perfect on everything

The New York Times & • Follow 1d • G The elusive oarfish, a creature nicknamed the "doomsday fish" because of its place in folklore as a precursor to disaster, was captured on video this month after it was seen in shallow water in Baja California Sur in Mexico. https:// nyti.ms/4357nNP

is that good

singing and the green grass grew all around at tu b’shvat shabbat service tonight reeeeeally making me want to reread ancillary justice (my heart is a fish/hiding in the water grass; in my head has a similar feeling)

In reality, the Nahua peoples who spoke of "Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl" didn't use that name for what's now the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, that name means "the Fresh Water of Chalchiuhtlicue," and it refers to her mansion in the midst of the cosmic sea, to the east the sea-ringed world.

I'll explain.

Roses are red,
But that's not quite true,
They absorb every wavelength of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum,
*Except* for that hue.

Also a good idea! The more objections, the better.

Like many born into slavery, abolitionist Frederick Douglass never knew his birthday.

His mother called him “little valentine” and so he chose to celebrate on Valentine’s Day.

Happy birthday, Frederick Douglass 💜

Thank you to Jay for allowing me to dissect the Washington Post monstrosity using my sadly encyclopedic knowledge of this soggy macaroni noodle

A Guide to Guides: Over 30 Activist Guides You Might Find Helpful When Opposing the Far Right In my varied career, one thing I’ve done is write some organizing guides. The most (in)famous is my 40 Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics for Community Activists, but I’ve done othe…

In addition - a lot of people are looking for guidance right now. I've come up with a list of guides which new - and even experienced! - folks might find helpful.

A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power illegally through the actions of themselves or their supporters. The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers. Other measures may include annulling the constitution, suspending civil courts, and having the head of government assume dictatorial powers.

Get really familiar with this concept because that's what is happening right now. We will no longer have free and fair elections. Democracy is dead. It was murdered in broad daylight by a TV gameshow host and a ketamine addled afrikaaner man child.

"you never shut up about politics, talk about something else"

I am part of the named target group of a moral panic that brought a fascist Neo-Nazi regime to power.

I do not have the luxury of a non-political existence.

I will not pretend otherwise for your comfort.

If we want to stop Elon Musk from destroying our entire society we have to make sure there is never another billionaire. They can't just be taxed out of existence, we tried that in the 60's and 70's and once they retook political power they dismantled everything

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Sorry if it's cringe or virtue signaling or whatever but unqualified and unconditional love and support to every trans person on earth. You will win and I will help you.

thank you mrs saltine for inventing saltines so i have something to soothe my tummy after i make poor food decisions

I know everyone loves this article right now and people absolutely should get off the internet and into the streets, if they can.

But ALSO writing about and documenting fascism in an accessible way is vital work that is materially different from BlueAnon doombait.

Once again, way too many people appear to have forgotten that the reason strikes and labour laws exist is not because workers need to be coddled but because they were the less messy alternative to the factory owner getting burnt alive inside his home by the workers

A Brutal Beginning: Orienting Ourselves Amid the Shock and Awe We must be prepared to live and act defiantly, deriving no legitimacy from the illegitimate brutes who would govern us.

Reminder: "Sometimes, 'bearing witness' feels like the only thing we can do, but the relentless consumption of suffering and injustice does not change anyone’s material conditions. It may feel like we’re doing something, but during such moments, we are experiencing an impact rather than having one."

BEGGING people to read the emails i send instead of emailing me to ask a question i’ve already answered

Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America

So this is the book that explains, in excruciating detail with great storytelling, exactly HOW the systems were set up to favor mediocre white dudes in the first place.

Or, as Oluo puts it, how the system came to work as designed.

do they just need help securing an apartment? i guess my question is what are they looking for? i just moved out of nyc not that long ago so maybe i could help?
