MAGA is completely aligned with Nazi philosophy in nearly all respects, including its support for Israel. They would make it unsafe for Jews to live anywhere else, and once Israel has no allies left, abandon them there.

When this is over, U.S. rights abusers must be tried for crimes against humanity Escalating reports of human rights crimes from Kristi Noem's propaganda to ICE cruelty must be wiped clean with justice.

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal

Someday, there must be justice. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

As usual NPR, demonstrates itself to be a pathetic, centrist, liberal institution, sucking up to MAGA rhetoric and offering anemic criticism.

Years ago, one of my professors cut off a fellow student who was waxing poetic about people being "of" their time with respect to chattel slavery. He said: 'do you know who knew that enslavement was evil and morally disgusting? ENSLAVED AFRICANS.' Were they not of their time too? At 18, that stuck.

again and again and again.

criminalization is the mechanism by which the state/cops/people in power can harm and disappear Black, brown, trans and queer, poor, etc. peopleβ€”and the reality is that who and what is is considered β€œcriminal” is constructed, and can always shift.

A Disturbing Advance in Fetal Personhood Authorities arrested a Georgia woman they acknowledge had miscarried and brought charges over how she disposed of the remains.

BREAKING: The Tift County district attorney announced Friday that all charges have been dismissed against the 24-year-old in Tifton, Georgia who was arrested and charged last month after she lost her pregnancy at 19 weeks. Story TK, but here's our original piece:

A basic red line for defending academic freedom would be not turning over faculty data because they signed an open letter.

I have begun to learn what it will take to grieve this

And I want people to understand that the silence and after the rage and desire for distance from Black people from everyone

Will be completely justified

Herbivory in Spiders: The Importance of Pollen for Orb-Weavers Orb-weaving spiders (Araneidae) are commonly regarded as generalist insect predators but resources provided by plants such as pollen may be an important dietary supplementation. Their webs snare insec...

People don’t realize spiders can supplement their diet with pollen. Eggs and Sanders (2013) found juvenile orb-weavers get up to 38 percent from it. Meadows matter. Flowers are tiny gas pumps for murder machines. #science #arachnologyπŸ§ͺ

It is for the 1%. They engineer a bubble, crash it, and then buy up more of the economy and property at a discount. Dump the liabilities onto the tax payers. Rinse and repeat.

Are you surprised by this? It's obviously been the plan of the GOP and 1% for a long time. If you cannot earn them money you have no value. The Nazis called people like that "useless eaters"

I don't even like horror films and this pissed me off

For the avoidance of doubt: everything I write is "political." All my books are about (& I'm again mis-paraphrasing either Aristotle or Terry Eagleton here) the way we organise our social lives together

They all have a position on ethics

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

This may be the most devastating short poem I've ever come across. From Andrea Cohen's book, Furs Not Mine: bookshop.org/a/862/978193...

All right, let's see how this thing works. Do you dig high fantasy with darker sensibilities? My latest short story appears in Old Moon Quarterly Vol 8!
