As long as most people, right and left alike, believe the same bullshit about human nature, then we go nowhere.
Changing our beliefs about who we are deep down inside—to exclude “facts” that don’t exist!—is the only way through this phase and into nonviolence, justice, and love.

A must read … just terrific.
Even though the “tribe” talk at the end, which public intellectuals love to believe and spin about human evolution/nature, is complete bullshit and is yet another obstacle for Cassandras to overcome.
But yes, we can.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

This country is in crisis because of its reckless and deranged leadership, something a majority of Americans are coming to understand. That is worth stating plainly and clearly in an editorial. It does not require both-sides-ism, false equivalence, blame-shifting, or rhetorical ass-covering. x

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

One of my neighbors was murdered in the streets today by ICE agents motivated by this sort of race science propaganda.
Incredibly important story that everyone should read.
These are not disorganized lone actors, but well-funded and powerful networks to be treated as serious threats.
They are using our work to push a eugenicist and racist agenda that is scientifically invalid and morally reprehensible.

An excellent, bone-chilling story about a cadre of online racists who stole genetic data from studies on children so they could make specious arguments for the innate inferiority of non-white people, it's embrace by Elon Musk/twitter & how the Trump administration might make it easier to do again.

Those shitheads on Twitter teamed up to steal kids’ data from NIH and then pretended those data into published proof of their “hereditarian”/racist beliefs.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”
