White women did this. Or Hispanic men. Maybe it was inflation. Or Democrat messaging. Or Russia. Or Gaza. Or Jesus.
We GOTTA blame someone, right?

If you want to know where young American women are at, the Google search term interest for the 4b movement says it all. (It’s a South Korean term for women who swear off sex, marriage and childbirth with men)
We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

A Legend has passed.

I am honored to have been asked to contribute to this. In an algorithm-driven world that just makes the rich richer, it’s more important than ever to support archivists who save forgotten or unpopular things.
Texas doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry.
Yet they waited 40 hours for the fetal heartbeat to stop, saying it would be a “crime to give her an abortion”
She died of an infection three days later.

Some people seem to have forgotten how bad a president Trump was, so I made a list of the 100 Worst Things About the Trump Presidency, in no particular order. Please share and add anything I missed. 🧵
The vote by the Israeli Parliament against @UNRWA is unprecedented. It opposes the @UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law.
Failing to push back against these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism.
This should be a concern to all.
