yup, great piece.
“bipartisanship is very often not a path to common sense compromise but is instead the rhetoric of elite solidarity against the marginalized.” +100

depending on Bean’s reading level: Mouse Trouble by Quentin Blake (easy) or Midnight is a Place by Joan Aiken (more advanced) are great books for young thinkers

We are not stagnant people and we have the ability to imagine new futures for ourselves....we were meant to imagine new futures because our societies and democracy are living beings that we are supposed to active tend and grow as we grow and change as a nation.

White supremacy a sickness of the the soul.
This powerful line from one of the children:
“I will be something amazing,” another child said. “I will be strong and beautiful. You will always be exactly what you are -- horrible.”

For me its organic blueberries, backrubs and full restorative indigenous-led ecosocialist decolonization, but I hear you

+ “It’s difficult to quantify how many lives will be destroyed” The fascist MAGA regime is so objectively pro-mass-death that some eugenicist agenda is one of the only ways I can make sense of it.

Huzzah! I raise a glass in toast to Sally Mickelson and her cohort, and thank you for sharing her letter. It takes a special writer like Aiken to accept such a plea from young readers and then write a bunch more books with the character.

Framing it as “Brave scholars…banding together” that’s really gross

I always appreciate your lists, but your writing on what may be coming from the Patel FBI is especially timely, insightful and historically-informed. Thank you. Read this, everyone!

Some impressive lines in this:
* "This is a sad day for law enforcement, but at the same time, it is a good day for the rule of law,"
* (they) ”recently operated as more of a criminal enterprise than a law enforcement agency,"

“What, you won’t help with food or healthcare but I get to participate in consequence-free violence towards the marginalized? Deal!”

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for modeling self-advocacy, and for telling the story.

I feel a similar gratitude. Learning to read was like gaining a superpower, or like a shamanic initiation that enabled one to travel to other worlds. My public school teachers were heroines.

No single word is enough, maybe, so I propose an acronym: they have nothing of value to offer humanity, so they are NOVTOHs

this is great. Loved “.. he knows instinctively, as one knows the smell of spoiled meat, that MAGA will never bring justice to anyone at all.”

It’s almost as if willingness to ignore statistics means you are committed to a white-supremacist fantasy world

Agreed. I’d read Philip Greven’s Spare the Child, but Talia’s book really brought the scale and depth of the horror to light.

Right? Like it’s not a ‘free’ market if they murder you for trying to leave it
