Knowledge Fight was and remains one of the all-time great podcasts. It is the rarest kind of thing: a show that entertains while having a real-life impact. Dan and Jordan helped defang and neuter elements of a powerful propaganda network. Excited to see what both do next.

The whitewashing of the civil rights movement & the state it countered is a huge part of how we got here. My latest: āBlack organizers of the civil rights era didnāt organize against āracism.ā They organized to sabotage the laws and institutions of a white nationalist government.ā

Fuck ICE but also fuck the press for feeding us the "to help with long lines!!!" bullshit because SFO has not been impacted at all by the partial shutdown. (It has contractors doing security and they're getting paid.) You only send ICE to SFO to do goon squad shit, which was always the goal of this.

SFUSD is still running +1000 seats below TK needs, if you're wondering whether or not the district is really working to increase enrollment (no, they are not) They didn't report application numbers this year and I'm telling you it's because they don't want questions about TK
