These things are insidious and dangerous because they make shit up that looks and feels kinda right because it’s just replicating what it was trained on and their way of 「 correcting 」 it is to waste inordinate amounts of energy retraining again and again

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

“… even if you don’t have hope, ... This is about defiance. It’s about doing the right thing, fighting for democracy & for people to not be exploited... even if we fail, at the very least, we didn’t contribute to the problem.”

Grievance & vengeance are motivating because they are addictive. Like all addictions they turn on you & destroy the things you love. The future must be grounded in strong, militant kindness. Anger? Yes. Grievance? No.

Interesting perspective on “the politicization of everything.” How can we protect against this in the system that we really want, once we accept that we will have to rebuild?

The administration is covering up the economic impacts of their policies. Tell your Representative that you expect them to protect the truth.

This administration consistently acts as though reality is theirs to manipulate. There is so much damage being done to our country every day. It’s critical to get Dems to take action, or primary them for candidates who are willing to take action. Your calls & protests matter.

Join me at Dem West on August 16th to discuss the critical work of protecting our land, air, and water.

Fascism is a political strategy just as much as it is a political ideology, and if you want to defeat an opponent it very much helps to know their strategy
