“War itself is, of course, a form of madness. It’s hardly a civilized pursuit. It’s amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace.”

“When you erase history, you make it easier to repeat…It’s about shaping what people believe about America itself…if the struggles of Black Americans are scrubbed…then it becomes easier to claim that systemic racism never existed in the first place. And that’s the real goal.” - Julian Vasquez Heili
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Earth has survived ice ages, asteroid impacts, and mass extinctions for 4.5 billion years.
It will outlast us easily. We're not saving the planet; we're desperately trying to preserve the narrow climate conditions that allow human civilization to survive.
Earth doesn't care if we go extinct.

Cleetus: These words are like cinnamons. It’s when they mean the same thing. Like “wife” and “cousin.”

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Chief Justice John Roberts sounds delusional.
Not insane or hallucinating. But so out of touch, so high on his own supply, so deep in a bubble that he—according to this NYT report—thought that his terribly reasoned, wildly un-American immunity ruling would be well received by the public and history.

I interpret everything ideologically because ideology is the system of beliefs and assumptions that a person uses to understand the world.
I don't have another way to do it.

Words matter so much because they are the building blocks of perception, thinking, and behavior; and policy words guide decision and action

"Optimal prevention" of... autism?
No thanks. I like my fellow neurodivergents way more than neurotypicals.

Not to mention that means testing in general invariably - no matter how finely you tune it, because no artificial system reflects reality perfectly - means you're missing some people who need whatever it is you're limiting, just for the sake of not giving it to one person who might "not deserve" it.
