If they’re comfortable killing other people, they will eventually be comfortable killing you. You can learn that lesson the easy way or the hard way.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

You’re forgiven for the Mad Max images this brings to mind, because movie tropes are what all of this is the IDF. It’s not a war; it’s the culmination of a lifetime of propaganda and playing soldier. It’s not self-defense; It’s dehumanization on a cinematic scale. It’s comic book grotesquerie.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of these two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. Read this out loud. Then read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

The present situation in Sudan is terrible, and there is a real risk of famine on a massive scale: “We’ve seen mortality projections estimating that in excess of 2.5 million people, about 15% of the population in Darfur and Kordofan – the hardest hit regions – could die by the end of September,”

W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington had similar arguments about the education of Black people, with Washington preferring trades. Guess who was embraced by the [ ] establishment, and who eventually had his passport non-renewed by the US government & spent his last days as a citizen of Ghana.

Years ago I wrote about how the fantasy of so many men in tech re: AI was to create a woman that doesn't talk back. It's not an original idea--it populates sci-fi, like Ex Machina. But it's also an easy point to argue because so many guys will just... say it.

Let's be clear. US didn't have a problem with Nazis b/c of their philosophies. US was doing Jim Crow, Anti-semitism & concentration camps. We set the blueprint for oppressive behaviour worldwide. We just didn't like Nazis b/c they were the ops. That's it.
