Line art of the maps of the EU (top left, blue), China (top right, red), and the USA (bottom, gray). Superimposed on each of them is a drawn face. The USA is stabbing itself with two daggers, bleeding all over the place, its face screaming in berserker rage. Europe and China look on, concerned.
I may never know who the original artist is. but one day a cheeky historian or museum curator will be absolutely correct to use this image to capture our particular political moment.

Octavia E. Butler said, āThese novels are not prophetic. These novels are cautionary tales⦠The problems that I write about are problems that we can do something about. That's why I write about them.ā
And āI hope they're not prophecy because I don't want to live in that world.ā

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

Iām sure itās totally not about tokenizing the Black woman whose point of view seemed to validate the position that actually Black peopleās pain just doesnāt matter here
And I say āseemed toā because she posted a follow-up statement clarifying her position which was also widely ignored

Itās interesting how a certain segment was happy to circulate the commentary of a Black woman with Touretteās when she appeared to be downplaying the impact on MBJ and Delroy Lindo but not when another Black woman with Touretteās criticized Davidsonās initial response ⦠whatās that about hmmm

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than itās been in decades & itās purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

Why I cry at concerts, sporting events & other gatherings: Collective Effervescence. A term coined by sociologist Ćmile Durkheim describing that shared surge of emotional energy that happens when people gather around something meaningful in the same moment. An emotionally charged collective breath.
