@NaomiAKlein Exactly

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

A shameful day for Canada, which has marketed itself as a progressive leader on climate and Indigenous rights. It has just invaded unceded Wet'suwet'en territory and arrested land defenders, all for a gas pipeline that is entirely incompatible with a safe climate.

In one image, a figure perches on a white plastic bucket, pencil and paper in hand. The cavelike space around him is cluttered with bottles, clothes, and sheafs of paper that hang, batlike, from the ceiling and walls.

Matthew Genitempo’s photo series “Jasper” is an idiosyncratic travelogue, combining elegiac black-and-white landscapes with portraits of the men and women he encountered deep in the Ozarks. https://t.co/qzmLh6mD0C

98 million adolescent girls around the world aren't in school. Laxmi was one of them—until she enrolled in the Prerna Girls School. That’s when her life changed.

I hope you'll support organizations making a difference for girls like Laxmi at https://t.co/Z5q8KOBrmF.

“So many of us go through life with our stories hidden, feeling ashamed or afraid when our whole truth doesn’t live up to some established ideal. We grow up with messages that tell us that there’s only one way to be American—that if our skin is dark or our hips are wide...

This discussion of whether Trump is himself a white supremacist or just someone who purposefully uses white supremacy as a political tactic seems to misunderstand the function of how white supremacy operates.
