There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.

The man in the fatal shooting was identified by his neighbor as 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero from Colombia.

It feels really weird to say this, with the studio having the history they do, but I think the industry needs to take a look at how Hi-Rez has handled Smite 2's development as a blueprint for making a live-service PVP game.

This is no shade. Maybe leftists do need to accept that AI is happening. I will be honest, I’m not updated on what constitutes leftist dogma at any given time. However, I am seeing a familiar pattern of erasure and co-option that I think is anti-power. One might say it is similar to a psy-op.

I agree & CRT helps us understand how boundaries of whiteness tighten & loosen based on the state's needs. With this extrajudicial murder, they are trying to tighten the boundaries of whiteness to leave out queer white folks who do not comply. Race traitors can always be pushed out of whiteness
