DAIR's former fiscal sponsor--Code for Science and Society--quashed a Palestine statement. It led to a cascading set of awful decisions, ignoring issues of systematic anti-Black and anti-Palestinian racism, and forced nearly all staff to quit or be fired.

Annual fall seed order, yay!
I've been turning my yard from a hot terrible gravel mess into a diverse mini ecosystem. I get seeds from a few places, but Northwest Meadowscapes (northwestmeadowscapes.com) is my favorite.
They put so much care and creativity into their work.

it is unfortunate that americans learn about jim crow as the product of prejudice and not as a nearly 75-year-long reversal of democratic fortune in which a very large number of americans lived under violent authoritarian rule
for all of the pessimism about the present many americans basically believe that we exist outside of contingent history and that nothing could possibly get worse than the present. but, uh, that’s not the case.
robert kagan is…not great, but the overall thrust of this essay — that there is a pretty clear path to outright autocracy — is basically right. and i continue to think that trump’s great advantage is the entrenched american belief that “it can’t happen here.”
