Somehow missed this 2022 UK paper exploring responses to radical right parties (RRP) and whether accommodation - i.e. "beat" them by repeating a version of their tale actually worked electorally. Short version: Nope. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Hello friends! Holy moly. One day I’m ready to delete this account, the next day I see an out pouring of love and Radness for my weird art. Thank you all for following along. As a working artist, I’m constantly trying to keep a float. So please reach out if I can ever get a painting on your wall!

The first question we should ask ourselves in these and all other elections is: Which candidates oppose the inordinate power of the ultra-rich, and which ones accept or encourage it?

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

LOVE THESE TIPS! The only thing I would caution is if you grab "wildflower seed mixes" to plant that you look closely at what seeds are included. Sometimes it is a non-native mish-mash that can introduce invasives. Otherwise, great list!

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

While the British media cheerlead for the far-right Reform party, there's close to zero coverage of the significant gains the Green party are making in council elections.

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.
