On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

This lady, she comes up to me, with tears in her eyes and she says, 'Sir! Sir! Whenever I look upon your mighty works, I despair!' And we like that, don't we folks. We'll have the biggest works, won't we? And so much despair. Not like that Joe Biden. So few works. So little despair. Sad, really.

The Fallow Field by Richard Church (from Lyrical Poems, 1942-47)
The Fallow Field
GooD to see the ploughed earth!
Here in a world of broken faith Is something to be understood;
Man's work, Man's worth, 
The labour of the share, the scope 
Of our belief, our hope.
Here is something Man has made And will remake, age after age, 
Defying every tyrant's rage 
With a simple thingthe spade.
Take a handful, feel it rough, 
Feel it work upon your skin!
This is the elemental stuff
From whose obduracy we win
First things first, the bud, the flower, 
And last, the Bread of Life.
These things are good;
These are the moments worth our strife.
Leave the tyrant to his hour:
He has never understood.

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

USAID, now US Forest Service. They keep demolishing institutions that were deeply problematic, but nowhere near as awful as their erasure. I think this is big, bad news, the real news of the day, not that nothing-to-see-here speech.

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.

Filming ICE is an act of journalism. Cell phone footage is vital source material for reporters who can’t be everywhere at once. Shooting, killing and other targeting of those documenting news is an attack on press freedom and all else that's good in the world.

Some details of federal government’s account of the shooting aren’t supported by footage captured by bystanders.

The *best-case* scenario is that agents of the state executed a man for exercising his Second Amendment rights. Yet you won't hear a fucking word from Second Amendment advocates—though this is exactly what they claimed to fear for the last half-century. Fuck all these fascists.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

POWERFUL “The murderers are ICE. They are who we need out of this city. Let us carry on our lives safely and not in fear of being shot. If we help a woman who slips on the ice, as I saw happen earlier today before that man was murdered… let’s say his name, Alex was murdered while he was helping.”

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

Saw this on the elephant app, and yes, all of this. I know people want instant fixes, and "revolutions", but incremental change is really the only way to build LASTING change. You have to build foundations, and then build on those, and then build on that. Please read, share, and take to heart:
Mariya Delano (@mariyadelano@hachyderm.io) posted:

I keep seeing Americans who want to do something about the state
of our politics, but feel like no action they can take will do enough
to fix things, so it's not worth trying.

It's easy to feel nihilistic. So I'd like to propose an alternative - a 10%
improvement approach to political change, of sorts.

It comes from my PTSD treatment: the idea that no one approach,
skill, or intervention can make the #trauma just go away
instantaneously. So instead, us humans are left with 10% solutions -
things that help a little bit, for some amount of time.

The key to healing is to develop an ongoing set of multiple different
solutions that you rotate through based on what feels feasible on
any given day / moment. Each one helps a bit. 10%, 5%, 1%. But
eventually, you get to making big changes that felt impossible at the
start.

The same works for political change and activism. Sure, going to any
one protest, or calling your representative, or boycotting a brand, or
changing one person's mind, or donating to one fundraiser won't fix
the entire broken political regime. But it will help A LITTLE.

And if a lot of us continue to find ways to do things that help a little,
it will end up doing a lot more.

A movement starts with a thousand little steps that don't look like
much on their own.

Take that little step. Then another.
