This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Judith Butler, philosopher: โ€˜If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logicโ€™ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAรS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

"Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you're operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you're willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.

I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies

โ€œI had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?โ€ Bishop Mariann Budde explained. โ€œWas anyone going to say anything about the turn the countryโ€™s taking?โ€

So, she took a breath, and spoke.

Do I Dare Disturb My Doomscrolling? Part of the feeling of helplessness right now is this idea that you donโ€™t know some big thing you can do. But why would you expect that from yourself? Do something every day. That can be someโ€ฆ

"Your job is to do something small but measurable every day that ensures you are not the one being moved off your norms, that ensures you are connecting to community around you."
