“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Billionaires became billionaires by exploiting people—not by caring about people. So when billionaires work to dismantle CFPB, USAID, NIH, CDC, & social welfare in general, it's because all they know how to do is exploit. That's who they are. Stop trusting them. Start taxing them out of existence.

that’s right.

Something I wrote elsewhere but is relevant here, as we start this first full week of February 2025:

The internet is exhausting lately.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Knew it. The bad place.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the Laken Riley Act, that will allow immigrants to be detained over accusations of theft. “Look at what members of Congress are invested in private prison companies … and look at the votes on this bill.”

This is how you do it...

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Impending sense of doom.

That’s true, I do post a lot of cats.
