People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

My latest:

Beyond all reason
Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

I say all of this from a country that feels like a powder keg: we are a powder keg because we have told ourselves the lie, over and over, that the key to peace is enough violence against people who are too different.

9. As a species, we have figured out war to an astonishing degree. We are still working on the ability to hold peace.

Real peace requires self-determination and justice. It requires trusting that differences do not make us enemies.

3. Whatever you’re planning to do to bring people around *after* you fight a war, so you don’t have to murder millions of people in cold blood?

Consider doing that first.

2. A war without a specific military objective is inherently a forever war.

If you fight a war with the expectation that you will simply kill all people who you believe disagree with you, the war will be long and bloody and genocidal.

Just FYI, here are my personal beliefs on the use of large scale violence.

1. Violence tends to be self-replicating, and so should be avoided as much as possible.

All violence has the potential to entrench itself.

If you have a platform, maybe stop debating the reasonableness of universal masking as though anyone who still masks has the social power to require that and talk instead about how local governments, employers and schools are banning the masks that disabled people need to stay alive.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Screenshot of a Facebook post. Photo is an elderly woman holding a child on her ap on a couch with flood water around them. Both are wearing jackets inside. Text says: This was after our 1st drift.. staying put for awhile. Our 3rd and final drift was terrifying. House moving fast then we started spinning in circles. While we were spinning in circles my oldest daughter was just staring at me while I held onto my younger two. Kipnuk doesn't look like kipnuk anymore, like more than 3/4 of the homes displaced, power poles fallen. It smells like stove oil outside. Contaminated

They're showing up in the comments of every video posted to reddit showing ICE atrocities. But reddit has this fun new feature where you can see the breakdown for how many views from each country you have and Russia's oddly well-represented.
