Everybody is goddam broke and indebted to everyone and poor and losing all social safety nets... while our money is shoveled into these shit stains' pockets to terrorize, kidnap, and enslave us. They are standing around eating pizza after kidnapping children and they are making a shit ton of $$.

Of course the virulently homophobic, racist, and white supremacist so-called salvation army is feeding these putrid kidnapping, lynching, and enslavement units.

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

this is a deeply traditional approach across 'western civilisation'

in many ways it is fundamental to Enlightenment philosophy

the belief that human nature is inherently sinful and undeserving and must be overcome in order to be considered a valid person

Just thinking - NW's website has essays & other stuff that were the building blocks for the book. I dipped into that 1st

Btw (in case you haven't already listened to it) - the Pluto link for Chapman's book above has a link to a podcast discussion with them abt the book

it's had a massive impact on material reality precisely because it does not fit it

because the contradiction must be resolved by altering material reality to fit the ideal image

and it doesn't

it never can

neurotypicality is a myth as in an ideal concept that cannot exist in material reality

but it is also a social construct that does exist in material reality

because nothing is just one thing

everything is lots of things

r @recombobulating.bsky.social · 8d

some people think that's how brains work

it's a relic of the natural philosophy of Newton's era that still dominates some areas of academia

the ideal rational actor has access to the instruction manual and therefore never makes mistakes

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

"Gamble" assumes that there could be consequences for this. Given that the party in question no longer follows laws and no one enforces laws against them even when the courts rule against them, what are they gambling?
