Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not laziness or a lack of effort. It’s a part of the human condition. People get sick. Bodies break down. It’s a minority group you can join any time.

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.

There is also this: when we renounce the self and become part of a compact whole, we not only renounce personal advantage but are also rid of personal responsibility. There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgment. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom—freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.
—Eric Hoffer, True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, pt iii, ch xiv, § 77 (1951)

Once again screaming: Before modern medicine, the NATURAL way of doing things (giving birth, fighting/preventing diseases, treating wounds, etc) was DYING. A LOT of people died, all the time. Mothers died, babies died; rich or poor, if you got a thing we couldn’t treat yet, ya dead. THAT’s natural.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

THE LAUGHING HEART

Your life is your life

Don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.

Be on the watch.

There are ways out.

There is a light somewhere.

It may not be much light but

It beats the darkness.

Be on the watch.

The gods will offer you chances.

Know them.

Take them.

You can't beat death but You can beat death in life, sometimes.

And the more often you learn to do it, The more light there will be.

Your life is your life.

Know it while you have it.

You are marvelous

The gods wait to delight In you.

- Charles Bukowski

This song was on the radio and that required me to once again revisit the insane brilliance of Michel Gondry's 1999 video for it, in which he recreates 70s/80s analog video FX with meticulously staged choreography. Just in case anyone hasn't seen this gem from the peak music video era:

The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
