Thinking of this by Henry J Garrett today. Free Palestine, Slava Ukraini.
An illustration by Henry J Garrett, of a white pill box on a blue background. The label reads: "Dehumanisation, for those times when empathising with suffering isn't convenient"

We lost a giant today
A black and white portrait picture of Athol Fugard, possibly in his sixties, looking serious and smoking a pipe. A quote from him: "Caring. Not the most exciting of words, is it? Almost as humble as a tool. But that is the alchemist's stone of human endeavor."

Well. Interesting. So Google can choose to be political, but users can't have an opinion? No Google, I will not be nice, I'm not nice to anyone who needlessly complies with facism.
A screenshot of an email stating: "The following Play Review 4e8a6378-4900-4ac5-9261-87774b118776 has been hidden from global view because it was identified through automated internal mechanisms as a violation of our Play Ratings and reviews posting policies: It's Gulf of Mexico, because you certainly don't care to name Dokdo or the East Sea properly, so why capitulate to the USA's colonizing ways?

I love my home country South Africa. We have the most amazing democratic freedoms: freedom to demonstrate and gather, true freedom of speech (much more than here in Germany!). We have many things to work on, but a white genocide is not one of them
Khaya Dlanga giving information about South Africa. "White South Africabs account for just 2% of murder victims, despite making up 8% of the population...for every 33 people who are victims of murder, one 1 is white. Land ownership: 72% of all farmland is South Africa is owned by white farmers. Black owned is between 1.2 and 1.4%

A picture of a tweet from @evelynwardbooks, saying, What radicalized you? And the answer being: Empathy, bro. Literally just wanting people to be treated like human beings. The background is a beautiful green field with yellow lilies, and a cloudy sky.

Finding Marsh applicable here, as always! In The Creation of Me, Them and Us #bindingchaos #marsh
Text from Heather Marsh, The Creation of Me, Them and Us: "If you do want democracy, it's not just media that needs to be free. It's not even just speech. It is knowledge. An uninformed vote is a coerced vote. People without reliable information they can trust will follow ideologies and demagogues blindly and we are seeing more and more of that lately as our access to information and our trust in information is eroded. And when government is conducted in secrecy, the atrocities that have repeated throughout history will happen.." Text from Heather Marsh, The Creation of Me, Them and Us: "...again as they always do in the dark. We really don't need to keep proving this. So we don't need reactionaries trying to shore up some ancient flailing patriarchy with increasing tyranny and secrecy. We don't need revolutionaries knocking off figureheads and installing their own messiahs onto the same structure. We need to build a democracy that is right for today, that includes everyone and resists tyranny, and that means democratic access to knowledge and participatory governance."
