Nonchalant white people in this moment are the same ones Martin was talking about in that Birmingham jail.
it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.
This is the proud work of some lovely Alabama Democrats!
Agreed! Though arguably they’ve been working their way to this point for quite a while. Things that would have produced loud outrage in other times barely make the news cycle now, and, for the most part, we just move along
As someone with many friends and family members who had direct experiences of dictatorship—and raised in a country grappling with the aftermath of a lengthy dictatorship, the texture of life on the ground just doesn’t often feel like an emergency, until those rare boiling up moments
People forgo something, they change small patterns, but they find ways to go on living and often forget that life could have been any other way. The dystopian images of authoritarian governments depicted by Hollywood usually represent small historical windows into peak moments of tension
The quality of life goes down, but the decay is usually felt quite slowly and gradually, unless it’s *your job* *your family* —never underestimate the human ability to adapt to awful circumstances and normalize pretty terrible things
Yeah, I think this what makes it hard for Americans who haven’t experienced autocracy elsewhere to realize—life under authoritarianism can still look like pleasant summers, bbq on the weekend, after work happy hour with friends—until snap, a coworker or family member goes missing
"Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has sold its shares in 11 Israeli companies, its managers said Monday, a move they said reduces its holdings in the country against the backdrop of the “serious humanitarian crisis” in Gaza."

I don’t know how you define “The left” and “centrists” —terms I didn’t use—so I’m inclined to avoid the trap of taking this up. It doesn’t address my comments.

INCREDIBLE! This is yet another US citizen charged with "assault" for supposedly impeding what ICE describes as yet another racial profiling incident! ICE was chasing "individuals" (eg Hispanics) who they had no idea whether they were here illegally when they ran over Andrea.

TESLA: We rallied at the courthouse in Oakland CA where Tesla will finally be held accountable for a decade of dishonestly advertising their “self driving” cars. We made 53 headstones representing the 53 fatal Autopilot/FSD crashes… so far… but not one more life should be lost for Elon Musk’s profit
