Minnesota's resistance has warmed my heart and reminded me vividly of #jan25 but Egypt's migrants had to hide then and still do now.
This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

May my generation live to find hope again #Jan25
Today, January 25, marks fifteen years since Egyptians took to the streets to demand "bread, freedom, and dignity."

For 18 days, protesters challenged decades of repression, injustice, and corruption despite violence by security forces that injured thousands and killed at least 846.

For my upcoming book's final entry, I want to examine the claim that "the gender binary is colonial", which depends a lot on the scholarship of Maria Lugones and Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí.

So let's take a closer look at their work, shall we?

American leftists may need to explain why it's "racist" to hold minorities responsible for their votes. Every American voter is an agent of empire, not just the white ones.

AI usage: 87% of executives use AI for work; 57% managers; 27% of employees.

This is both easy to believe and easy to misinterpret. AI is *genuinely* useful if what matters is FORM. Terrible at SUBSTANCE.

If useful for your job = your job just form.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

Modern Egypt is real and is pursuing an unprecedented crackdown against its large migrant population, deporting recognised refugees back to war in great numbers.
Since we are about to enter the Christmas season, here's a picture of Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus fleeing to Egypt to avoid persecution. Immigrants.
