Transformative mediation and (clumsy attempts to practice) principled nonviolence keep me from despair. Also, this: "The oppression of children is the wheel that keeps all other oppressions turning."

Long before Dr. Becky, this L.A. woman changed parenting for good
Ruth Beaglehole devoted her life to countering what she called "childism," the misuse of power over children. The effects of her parenting classes are felt throughout Southern California and beyond.

Parenting with nonviolence led me to prison abolition. It also helped me raise a kid that thinks for themself and who understands the relationship between empathy and justice. Thank you Ruth. Knowing you radicalized me. www.latimes.com/lifestyle/st...

One good thing about the current era is that you don't have to argue with people about the fact that white supremacy and racism permeate every aspect of US society. Everyone knows it and some even admit it.

It’s very hard to top that choice honestly—especially given the state of the country and the directions things are headed in.
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

Dear politicians,
Stop saying, "This is not who we are."
This is exactly who we are right now. It's your duty to help us defeat the fascists so we can stop being awful, which is what we are right now.
Thank you.

An article that wasn't focused on elite colleges might be capable of considering that disability accommodations are about a student getting a good education for themselves rather than framing things in terms of a hunger games competition for who gets to be elite in society

In 1889, schoolkids in Britain held a nationwide wave of school walkouts, taking to the streets to demand shorter hours, less homework, less corporal punishment and free education.
