i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

Goes without saying but this is a Massive problem, not just in what they’re doing but who they are literally, per our sources, drawing inspiration β€” about what to do next in the twin cities and elsewhere β€” from how the U.S. has handled foreign wars including ones we lost

Jewish men like Woody Allen and Philip Roth spent a lot of their careers making art about how Jewish women are unappealing and wow did that affect me. We have historically gotten that and then the hypersexualization of Monica Lewinsky. Not great!

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

State violence against Black Americans laid the groundwork for fascism | Jason Stanley Fascism feeds on the arbitrary killings that have long plagued the US. Ending the horror starts with abolishing ICE

β€œAs Ida B Wells noted in her 1892 book Southern Horrors: β€˜They forget that a concession of the right to lynch a man for a certain crime … concedes the right to lynch any person for any crime.’”

Here's a great read for Black History Month (or any month!). In The Cooking Gene, James Beard award-winning culinary and cultural historian @koshersoul.bsky.social travels the South, tracing his roots and the history of Southern cuisine.

p.s. Please buy books from indies not ICE-enabling oligarchs.

Feds Create Drone No Fly Zone That Would Stop People Filming ICE The FAA has altered a no fly zone designation that was originally created for US military bases to apply to DHS units.

In our latest: The feds created a drone no fly zone to stop people from recording ICE.

The order appears to attempt to criminalize the use of drones to film Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS employees who are detaining people all over the country.

I love immigrants. They come here looking for a better life and in exchange bring their food, culture, music making the country a better, more diverse and interesting place. I would choose them as my neighbors over someone who hates them on principle every fucking time.
