Hard Crackers: Chronicles of Everyday Life

Former editors of Race Traitor. Examining lives of “ordinary people,” among whom there exists the capacity to overturn the present mess and build a new society.

We see the stories of everyday life as a powerful method for understanding the predicaments we are in and imagining how we might work our way out of them.

Once the ceasefire goes into effect on Sunday, millions in Gaza will try to return to their homes. This is what they’ll find: 50.8 million metric tons of rubble littered with unexploded ordnance, toxic waste and asbestos. Evil on a dystopian scale.

The happiness is literally eternal. Gaza's streets are erupting. The tears of everyone, the joy.

I lost the words.

[Nerdeen Kiswani @NerdeenKiswani]

This is the same deal that Hamas agreed to in May, June, and August, yet israel wanted to continue to prolong Palestinian suffering. They failed to conquer the north, thousands of Palestinians will be released, resistance has prevailed.

467 days. None of us will ever be the same. Nor should we be. Nothing will ever be the same. Nor should it be.

met some of the incarcerated hero’s fighting the wildfires to keep californians safe

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Starbucks workers in LA are being forced to work in areas impacted by the recent wildfires - even where the air quality is unsafe.

Management told partners that stores must open because “the community depends on us,” ignoring that some workers had to evacuate their own homes.

[Abby Cunniff @AbbyCunniff]

So far, the only official mention of incarcerated workers on the LA fires was a comment from the CDCR published in the Guardian that there are 29 incarcerated crews (295 people) working. These workers are likely coming from the 6 camps in LA County. These camps are:

This is precisely what Mike Davis and other experts I interviewed making Bring Your Own Brigade warned me about. That fire could burn into the city of Los Angeles and nothing could stop it, when the winds lined up, as inevitably one day they would. I am looking out of a window in Venice and for the first time planning what to grab and where to go. While also thinking I must be imagining it. I’ve interviewed so many people in this situation and now I find myself in it. Even though I intentionally live in the least fire-prone neighborhood because I saw too much fire devastation and was traumatized by it, so that even though I love the hills I was too scared to live there. It’s hard to imagine that even “the flats” are not safe.
