I wrote: ‘Health equity and community care are essential to spatial justice. Care encompasses more than the absence of harm, but comprises multiple measurements of comfort — balance and alignment in body, mind, and spirit, resulting in feelings of contentment, belonging, and, purpose.’

A huge and consequential argument in the SCOTUS tomorrow. Is SCOTUS hell-bent in gutting the Voting Rights Act?

The Two Section Twos

The Protection Against Racial Gerrymandering in Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is Constitutional. Just Read Section 2 of the 14th Amendment.

“Ensuring representation for Black voters, they continue, “perpetuates discrimination.” This claim doesn’t actually make sense…the lawyers admit that there is currently racial disharmony and then suggest that the only way to end it is to let white people take representation from Black people.”

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 10h

The Reconstruction Amendments were adopted to end slavery and provide Black people with equal rights, including the right to vote.

To use those same amendments as weapons of white supremacy today is not just legally incorrect—it is a tragedy.

Voting rights are on the Supreme Court’s chopping block

Tuesday's case pits fanciful claims of racial harmony against the reality of ongoing discrimination.

“…if you look at the moments of historical fascism, we’re somewhere between January 1933, when Hitler took power, and the end of February, when he passed the Enabling Act. But that’s such a brief window of time that there’s not a direct parallel.” - @mark-bray.bsky.social

“It’s too late for preventative antifascism. I think we’re in a new era.”

After death threats for his work on antifascism, a Rutgers University professor fled the United States.

The latest from @schuylermitchell.bsky.social:

He studies fascism. Is he now living through it?

After death threats for his work on antifascism, a Rutgers University professor fled the United States. "It's too late for preventative antifascism," he said. "I think we're in a new era."

“collective action…we need to organize movements & coalitions across differences of beliefs, identities & geographies, reaching beyond our usual suspects to build bridges across divides. Support and center those directly targeted & harmed by authoritarians.”

Fight authoritarianism w/unified multiculturalism: every specified org (prof, community, student, religious) to recruit members “others” in mass solidarity. (invite Christians, Muslims, Sikhs & Buddhists to join Synagogues; invite Black, Asian & Indigenous ppl to join Latino groups) Reverse & repeat

The key question question for "conservatives" is what are they concerned about conserving? It's clearly not fiscal viability or human life or dignity or the Constitution or the middle class or

The main reason why Vought is so angry is that he is not just after political power in a narrow sense but obsessed with status and cultural domination. He believes there is a “natural” order of white male Christian domination in all spheres of life – and America is supposed to follow it.

Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Choose humanity.
Choose peaceful resistance.

“Let’s be antifascists, by which I mean let's be humans. Let's be wise and normal and silly and joyous and brave and hopeful.”

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.
