Why does an army base have white phosphorus? Isn’t that a chemical munition?

As good as many of you said. I really appreciate the unambiguous point that this primarily a racist moral panic before unpacking the nuanced second-order explanations. dannykatch.substack.com/p/we-used-to...

We're making progress on reducing the toxic environment in West Oakland. Now the feds want a coal terminal that will pollute Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, Martinez and other cities with coal dust from open cars make their way to the port. Nope to that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Eliminate her seat. Who considers “cotton-picking” offensive? Growing up in CA, the term meant “damned”. No reference to black people. My white mom picked cotton as a child. (In the 1940s). Never were many black people picking cotton in CA. Hard to believe it’s a racist epithet.

I think Hannah Spencer campaigned like crazy. She showed up in my Instagram feeds visiting someone's farm renovation, and I am all the way in California. I didn't remember her name, but her appearance is unmistakable.

Your rewrite of the abstract is only a tiny bit better. You need to use the words “pretext” and “anti-genocide” or “peace protests”. You shouldn’t have gotten rid of “crack down” because that gives the flavor of this fascist thuggery. The students I know at Columbia and UC are pro-peace Jews.

How I think it went down, he was practicing with his handlers, and said “ food prices“. His handler said don’t say “food“, it leads people to think “food shortage“ and starving. Say “groceries“, it’s less scary. Trump: “groceries? That seems old-fashioned.” Handler: “Don’t say effing food.“
