So a book with two gay penguins will traumatize kids but a public execution wouldn't???

We are told not to be angry. Not to call it violence. But how can you *not* when you see a video like that? How can anyone see that video and think it's anything other than a horrific incident that must be prevented at all costs? Because car culture is a cult that cannot be questioned.

As a society, the United States has decided that the ability of drivers to go wherever they want as fast as they want is the priority, at the expense of the safety and mobility of children. If you suggest this is somehow wrong, you are ridiculed and told that drivers are more important.

This is also true of cartography in my experience. Presenting someone with the familiar is good for reaffirming your priors but for true lovers of maps, they're not just information but the pleasure of surprise, realization, connection and discovery. There's not much to discover in the familiar.

So many!!! Iceland, Amalfi Coast, Rome, Marrakech, Paris, just to name a few. For me, maps are a layer to address baseline familiarity so that navigation in a new place doesn't overwhelm my ability to be awed, surprised, or delighted while there!

Republicans convinced everyone, even liberals, that Democrats were left wing lunatics just by saying it over and over and over. If Democrats were in lockstep with "Republicans are racist thugs" messaging it would work.

The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

Ossoff and El-Sayed took different tacks tonight vs their opponents—El-Sayed was more of a subtext of “you dumb fucking racist jackass” while Ossoff’s was more “if you fell down at a gas station I’d toss a lit match on you”—and I don’t think either of those is a bad choice tbh

And how much of the infrastructure of suppressing free speech relies on car-mediated infrastructure and removal of social safety nets so people “don’t have capacity” to protest or make their voices heard. It’s a domestication of antidemocratic principles.
