We are in a situation where 90% of the Democratic caucus is to the right of Thomas Friedman on Israel.

Friedman is rightfully very concerned escalation could lead to regional war that includes US forces and is a catastrophe for all involved.

But, most Democrats have said nothing of the sort.

Dear Republicans Getting Death Threats,

Awful. Political violence and threats should have no place in our society.

The way you stop that is by stopping the political march of the people issuing death threats, not by encouraging and empowering them.

Love,
Reality, History, Constitutional Democracy

MSNBC manufacturing consent harder than Lucille Ball on the chocolate assembly line.
“MSNBC has quietly taken three of its Muslim broadcasters out of the anchor’s chair since Hamas’s attack on Israel last Saturday amid America’s wave of sympathy for Israeli terror victims.”

Incredibly fucked up.

Despite the end of the Public Health Emergency, C*vid remains a pandemic by definition. Yet the media has uncritically advanced the idea that if the public appears to be tired, bored, or noncompliant w public health measures, then the pandemic must be over

I love this video of this guy reading my poem, "hymn to the sacred body of the universe," in an awesome French accent.

I’m at #TEDWomen2023 and this white dude just lost his mind when I suggested that white supremacy is connected to the climate crisis.

After 25 years of thinking about the intersections of ecology and social justice, I forget that some people are still living in 1940.

so noble that where it is manifest

Bono not bothering to check whether Dr. King was assassinated in the morning or the evening in his Hit Song Tribute to MLK really encapsulates the careless treatment of King's legacy.

It obfuscates even as it acknowledges.
