"What if we have all internalized the belief that we are entirely on our own, and that interdependence and cooperation are signs of weakness?

That would be a pretty good way to create a society devoid of any form of collective organising; devoid of much real hope."

My latest review for WSJ Books, on DAUGHTERS OF THE BAMBOO GROVE, by Barbara Demick, an engrossing deep-dive into the Chinese adoption system and how child abductions in the early 2000s have had long-lasting ramifications for families around the world.
‘Daughters of the Bamboo Grove’ Review: Twins Torn Apart
With foreign families willing to pay to adopt Chinese infants, a trade in so-called orphans sometimes took children directly from their parents to be raised far away.

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

As more & more people wake up, because they (or someone they love) are directly impacted by what’s happening in the USA, there are two phrases I am finding helpful:

“You don’t have to admit you were wrong.
Just admit that you were lied to.”

“Welcome to the resistance”
