Americans should read Du Bois's Black Reconstruction. The U.S. is unconsciously following the same script.

The ignorance of these people, whether it's religion, law, history, or popular culture, is truly astounding.

Maritza Rivera got fewer TOTAL votes in 2023 (14K) than Dionne Foster's *margin of victory*. AMR's *margin of victory* was FOUR TIMES the total number of votes Rivera got. District elections were a bad idea that just made it way cheaper for corporate interests to buy elections

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

What were the CIA-backed "Zero Units" in Afghanistan?
