BREAKING: Tharni has been diagnosed with (untreated) pneumonia.
We think this caused her blood infection. How did this go undiagnosed for so long that she became so ill? Please keep her in your thoughts.
Karen Andrews, you can end this little girl's suffering today. #HomeToBilo

I wonder, when we're talking about whether the press can be considered bigoted or not, whether it's instructive to think about why "gaffe" is so often used where the word "racism" would suffice.

Condemn violence at protests.

Condemn batons, kettling, and concealed badge numbers.

Condemn bullying tactics designed to inflame tension. Condemn the cry for more powers after the misuse of ones they already have.

The white Georgia cop saying the murderer of 8 people, including 6 Asian women, "had a bad day"?

Such a clear illustration of the perspective he comes from.

He has sympathy for the perpetrator because, truly, he relates more to the murderer than the murdered.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

The gunman’s victims, chosen due to perceptions about their workplace, reflect ongoing misogyny, objectification & hypersexualization of Asian women, rooted in a long history of imperialism, dehumanization of the Asian working class, as well as criminalization of sex workers.

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

The reported shootings of Asian American women on Tuesday in Atlanta is an unspeakable tragedy – for the families of the victims first and foremost, but also for the AAPI community — which has been reeling from high levels of racial discrimination. https://t.co/rBVPnrEBps

Women of colour in public life are subject to harassment, abuse and threats. Diane Abbott alone accounted for half of all abuse sent to female MPs in 2017.

Unfortunately, this isn't just the work of online trolls. It's facilitated and tacitly encouraged by some in the press.

I wish I had the privilege to sit on the fence. In order for me to do that I would have to strip myself of my identity and that’s not something I can do. It’s not any of our places to pick apart claims of racism in order to make us to feel more comfortable. ❤️

Dystopian non-fiction

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

When people who have millions of $ of personal wealth deny a minimum wage hike to 100s of 1000s of people who would be lifted out of poverty by it, they shouldn’t be able to hide their heartless behavior behind the ridiculous claim that they’re being good stewards of the economy

[prance @bocxtop]

no $2000 check, no minimum wage increase, no student loan cancellation just diversity and vibes

Antibiotics treat bacteria.

Not viruses.

Beware of misinformation.

Beware of people who posture as an expert, yet have no experience in medical science.

They may spout long, complicated sounding drug names. It may sound impressive, yet be nonsensical.

@Chinchillazllla @CaraKorte accurately labeling people’s political philosophy is aform of violence now

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Unbelievable. There are some Dems who want to lower the income eligibility for direct payments from $75,000 to $50,000 for individuals, and $150,000 to $100,000 for couples. In other words, working class people who got checks from Trump would not get them from Biden. Brilliant!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

My message to Jeff Bezos and Amazon is clear: These despicable anti-union tactics must stop. Every worker in this country has the right to join a union. Period.

[Richard D. Wolff @profwolff]

The GameStop fiasco exposes how disconnected stock market manipulations are from our actual economy. How absurd that so many have used the stock market to pretend the economy was OK. Covid & the crash show otherwise as does this fiasco around GameStop.

AOC also says that she didn't feel safe going to the safe room and sheltering with other members of Congress, because she felt some of them might disclose her location to rioters and put her in danger.
