The Only Narcan Vending Machine In Alabama
oxfordamerican.org
In a postage stamp of a town at the southernmost tip of Appalachia, a minister and self-described anarchosocialist operates Alabama's only Narcan vending machine. I wrote about his lifesaving work in this, my first piece for @oxfordamerican.bsky.social.

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

I very seriously believe that this administration can and should be compared to Hitler, because its governing style and ultimate goals are similar enough to Hitler’s governing style and ultimate goals. History doesn’t always rhyme — but it often is alliterative enough
At the risk of violating Godwin's Law, he really does sound like Hitler here talking about Jews not being compatible with German society.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.
