Imagine thinking Ceasefire is a wild left flank position! It’s literally the position of the UN, Amnesty International, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam, Save The Children and hundreds of domestic independent non-profits.
The bar is in hell, clear it!
We're at the point where someone could say 'I can't work because I'm too fatigued/in too much pain to get out of bed', and people would be like 'have you considered building a desk over your bed?'.
This has all been a very extreme example, but the main purpose is to highlight this tendency we have of focusing all our energy/policies/ideas around 'supporting disabled people' purely on 'getting them back to work' above anything else, and why that's ridiculous and harmful.
Daniel Penny hasn’t yet been formally “accused” of a homicide by any DA bc we give white people killing Black people—even on camera—every possible benefit of the doubt. But he definitely DID put Jordan Neely in a deadly chokehold.
That isn’t an “accusation.” That is a fact.
@commonismnow @BenjaminPDixon They are real christians, no quotation marks. Forcing control over nations has been a hallmark of the religion for a very, very long time.
@LaceyVoteDem @SIfill_ Practice now & comfort yourself if you can't in the moment. Few of us walk toward situations, and even fewer toward every one. The freeze response is real, even if we get past Diffusion of Personal Responsibility.
I hope we all practice & we all do better.

That doesn't protect anyone. It's a danger in itself.
December 14, 2012: Sandy Hook Shooting.
2013: 330 million civilian-owned guns in the U.S. = 33,000 gun deaths
2020: 434 million civilian-owned guns in the U.S. = 49,000 gun deaths
No one came for your guns.

it’s extremely harrowing and nauseating that we’re in a public debate over whether extermination is an appropriate response to our failure as a society to ensure people don’t go without food or shelter
Despite what Fox News wants you to believe, being afraid of an unarmed person is not a reason to kill them.
We should never accept a society where such rationale becomes normal.
Especially when powerful incentives exist in politics + media to keep people afraid of each other.
These three writers shut down an entire production. IATSE crew refused to cross their picket line, so the producers couldn’t shoot, and sent everyone home. If just three WGA members standing together can do this, imagine how much power all 12,000 of us have! ✊🏻 #wgastrong
