Maybe I’m a buffoon, but it seems a little strange that CNN capitalized the word “White” in this headline?

It’s long past time that I take responsibility for what I wrote on Israel/Palestine in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR.

& with the Gaza genocide, our thinking about what amends & healing may ever involve is even more urgent.

Even if there may never be “forgiveness” or “atonement.”

I do not celebrate any murder.

I do not celebrate the violent death of any human being, nor the loss of any chance for repentance & repair. None.

And those on the right must note that this is the "deal" for which Kirk himself actively advocated.

Pass better gun policy if you don't like murder!

On October 1st the first $17 billion in federal Medicaid cuts will take effect.

This is just the beginning of a $911 billion reduction over the next decade.

And it will hurt the health care industry, one of the only industries adding jobs right now.

Cops murdered Philando Castile because they “feared for their lives” after he disclosed he had a registered legally owned firearm.

AG Bondi restored Mel Gibson’s gun rights, which were stripped because he violently beat his girlfriend.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

"Mr. Schumer's stated approach of waiting for Trump to 'screw up' and continue this inexplicable embrace of the slippery slope is wholly inadequate and an astonishing failure of leadership."

The discourse over the US as a “melting pot” is a false dichotomy. White supremacists reject it because they want whiteness to be the only story. But the melting pot is a neoliberal myth too—A story of assimilation where queerness, BIPOC, womanhood & any identity outside the dominant are grafted on-

What could Schumer do? Here's what I'd do:

Get every Dem in front of the Capitol today and say this: "Every single one of us will vote for a clean one-month funding bill right now. What we will not do is cave to Republican threats to shut down the government unless we give a blank check to Musk."

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen?

We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.
