If your most educated citizens are telling you someone was a white nationalist incendiary who preyed on students then fucking listen to us. There isn’t just a teacher shortage in the US–there’s a crisis. Remember how Bush started No Child Left Behind to funnel children into the US military or prison? Where do you think…

On the Subject of Neo-Nazis
I’ve spent nearly 20 years studying & talking about Nazis. I’m not calling Kirk one because I didn’t like him or because he said things I disagreed with. I think it’s easier for certain folks to convince themselves it’s “namecalling” because they are either more closely aligned with the current generation of Neo-Nazism than they’d…
Lemme see if I can unpack this…
So a private corporation funded redistricting measures (read: voter suppression) and a Governor who has terrorized the homeless, trans, and disabled populations throughout his tenure. Then the corp purchased a former Public Access children’s education show that was first privatized by HBO after the Trump administration’s initial round of funding cuts (that Newsom et al….
No ICE in Sight
Because we are witnessing a white supremacist restructuring of US society similar to Nazi Germany’s Aryanization measures. I hold no ill will against the peoples of Ukraine, but it is depressing to watch literal refugees and descendants of WWII-Crimean War refugees sell their cause for a pat on the head. The US is using Ukraine…
MCN Chief Hill’s White Supremacist Temper Tantrum is the Real Threat to Sovereignty

MCN and Seminole Nation Chiefs released statements that feigned concern for sovereignty and treaty language, but they both conveniently left out the fact that MCN government chose to add “by blood” without input from tribal…
Selective Political Anxiety
There’s really no difference between PragerU and typical US neoliberal education. That’s the problem… not the fact that the state is contracting a private company to design curriculum. That’s already a thing, too. Standardized testing and textbook companies have driven most education policy decisions and available curriculum since the late-90s. Common Core provides an illusion…
Let’s Talk About: Gender & Mass Violence
The Minnesota shooter’s gender is irrelevant. As I have said for 15 years now, mass shootings in the US are motivated by white nationalist ideology. It isn’t a gun control issue. It isn’t an issue unique to Trump, MAGA, or neo-cons. Female mass shooters are fewer and far between, but not non-existent. Same with trans,…
