This series of posts will cover the Calls for Justice published by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

I invite settler people to join me in consideration of what needs to be done and to think about why the Calls are needed.

The Louisiana argument is essentially that you CAN use race to be racist but you CAN'T use race to ameliorate racism.

Like if CBS News completely fails and shuts down the Ellisons won’t look at it as a black mark, they got an entire year of 60 Minutes with segments hosted by Tim Pool, they bought an advertising campaign and the campaign has run its course

On a side note I have so much respect that there were producers on 60 Minutes who made the decision “I’m willing to get fired” and then Scott Pelley came on the air and said “today we said goodbye to our producer _____ because they felt like they couldn’t report the news truthfully to you anymore”

Bezos is perfectly happy to publish the Post at a loss if he can use it to keep demonstrate obedience to the regime so his other businesses can keep making money. It’s just an operating cost to him.

And if we raise all of our children with love and radical inclusion, universal design, and unconditional accommodation within the scope of our means...

maybe we can make grievance parents go extinct

because Autistic people will outlive the oligarchy but parents w/ generational trauma will continue

So are there NO actual police forces to protect a state from terrorism and invasion? Apparently, our Democratic states just have no options. We’re just gonna all be invaded, imprisoned and slaughtered, I guess. This is incomprehensible.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Most people have chosen to heedlessly accept repeated infections, mass illness, and excess mortality during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19. Those of us who have chosen differently, committing ourselves to the avoidance of contagion, represent the rational necessity of caution and safety.

/3 But a huge plurality, at least, of the modern GOP is of the opinion that noticing bigoted trash is more un-American and destructive than BEING bigoted trash: that dehumanizing fellow Americans based on immutable characteristics is morally superior to criticizing anyone for doing that.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.
