The world has for centuries been in the throws of a struggle between greater freedoms for individuals based on a clearer view of our objective reality on this earth and one that seeks to exploit or dominate most people for the benefit of just a few.
Remember the Enlightenment? Well, if Trump and MAGA (and Putin and Orban) get their way, that's over. And we know who they are depending on to get there. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you
Cops don’t like them; makes it harder to use surveillance footage and facial recognition to arrest people (especially at protests).

I feel this. Even before my devastating car wreck, I struggled with debilitating scoliosis that had me in mid-30s using a walker n preparing for life in a wheelchair... Ppl think of it as some minor thing, but it can truly destroy one's capability to function- sleep, sitting, standing, walking.
Having severe scoliosis is fun because it's like "is tonight the night that I can sleep normally or is it gonna be another night where I roll on my rib cage wrong and spend hours laying completely still wondering if I need to go to the ER?"

Whenever I get my bike up to 20+ MPH, I think of Ichabod Crane from the TV series _Sleepy Hollow_ the first time he’s in a car.

Tl;dr he’s terrified b/c even “slow” speeds in a car are wildly fast!

Nobody should be going >20MPH in a car on city or town streets anywhere. It’s wildly dangerous!
riding my bike yesterday and hit a top speed of 27mph. pure joy as I was moving through the wind at what felt like mach speed

bikes contextualize speed. when you know what 25mph really feels like you understand that driving a car within city limits in excess of 25mph is pure madness

yeah #fuckcars

The mask bans are absolutely terrifying on every level. It's horrible for public health and absolutely will be used against disabled people (who deserve to be able to go out in public, participate in protests, etc!!)

If you do not already understand Christian Zionism and how that is directly linked to the Evangelical right that now makes up the GOP - thanks to racism and abortion and in no small part to Karl Rove and the Bush doctrine - then I need you to go do some reading.

it CAN be done!
The students at my school did this. They negotiated for it, they got it, and they're disbanding their encampment now that they're done.

Not one arrest. No police. The first campus in the UC system to do it.
