RIP Mike Davis You would’ve added the most unhinged (complimentary) chapter about people betting on California wildfires to Ecology of Fear if you were still here.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

In Florida, “free speech” and “institutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with “race” in the title is censored for violated the law. Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…
"Violence" in Social Movements • 111
They Will Call You Violent
If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent.
Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of im-prisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

The industry’s liberal reputation is misleading. Its reactionary tendencies – celebrating wealth, power and traditional masculinity – have been clear since the dotcom mania of the 1990s

During the past year, I’ve been thinking about the ethics of continuing to cite research and data published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), due to serious questions regarding ADL’s research methodology and accuracy of data — and the public statements of ADL’s leadership. I’m done thinking.

My advice: diversify your reading. You’ll find more great books that way and you’ll support writers who actually need it AND you’ll be less susceptible to heartbreak when monsters are revealed because you won’t have all your little emotion eggs in that one monster’s basket.
