I recently wrote about this particular tic in dominant US political & media culture. Here's hoping our inability (or refusal) to accurately perceive & name the fascistic movements in our midst will not prove to be the undoing of our democracy (such as it's been). rightlandia.ghost.io/basically-ch...

Charlotte Edith Anderson Monture. 1890-1996 (Kanien’kehá:ka): Denied nurse training in Canada because of the Indian Act and that she was a Status Indian, Monture determinedly went to the United States and trained as a nurse in Philadelphia. After graduation, she served 18 months

Keep walking past this. See where you go.

For more than a decade, it's been clear that the American internet was not fit for purpose. The whistleblowers Mark Klein and Edward Snowden revealed the US had weaponized its status as the world's transoceanic fiber-optic hub to spy on the entire planet: doctorow.medium.com/https-plural... 3/

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We decided to illustrate it.

Don't miss this informative substack from @billmckibben.bsky.social on the exciting pace of battery innovation providing much-needed hope for "liberating ourselves from that old energy storage medium, the barrel of oil, before more people die in the ugly wars being fought over its ownership."☀️ ⬇️

Bruce Springsteen is some good, strong, sorely needed, goddamn medicine for Minnesota. This is a concert that is, and my words won’t do it justice, amazing. Sharp, specific, resolute, angry, and inspired. Some rock shows are all about just having a good time. Something larger is in play here.

my main concern is the harm rather than the output, so i don't really need to hear a product testimonial from someone who found it useful. because i don't care

Always speak truth to power. Always. Thank you, Charles Barkley.

A NATO training scenario in the Baltics took an unexpected turn. The opposing force was only ten Ukrainians.

Charles Barkley: "The way some of these immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace. ... What we're doing to some of these amazing immigrants is really unfortunate and it's really sad."

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed.

Just repeating again for anyone who doesn’t know: Covid is weird. It’s a full-body invasive disease we are still learning about, that has a significant chance of disabling you. It can be caught from aerosol vapor (just breath hanging in the air), and from asymptomatic people. Including yourself.

Covid has become the public health equivalent of school shootings in the US. 😒🙄Something could be done to prevent it, but people will just ignore it and let people continue to expire from the consequences of a preventable disease.

I’d say FBI has really humiliated itself this time but it has done so like clockwork since its inception. The generational resets where it appears to suddenly get its shit together after bouts of rampant abuse and corruption are mainly an illusion brought about by bad television.

There is an element of truth in the cartoon that makes the situation truly pathetic. Our sons and daughters are the cannon fodder for the sons and daughters of the oligarchs!

I'm telling you, the first time some blonde white woman whose also a major sports star gets disqualified for being intersex, all hell is going to break loose.

I agree and everyone should subscribe to TPM

1 in 3 women veterans has experienced sexual trauma. The Trump administration stripped them of their healthcare. Vet Voice senior advisor Kayla Williams says blocking access to abortion for rape & incest survivors is despicable and appalling. Veterans deserve care, not cruelty.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.
