Shame on all of these #media outlets with misleading headlines about #iran.
1) the morality police hasn’t been “disbanded” or “shut down”. A single official (prosecutor general) vaguely suggested “pausing” or suspending it for a bit
2) This is a play for international community to ease up pressure on the Iranian government. It’s a smokescreen.

Hey, in case you were wondering...
There is no logical argument that will make a fascist stop being a fascist. They don't care about your reasons, your emotions, or your solutions. Pointing out their hypocrisy will not sway their minds. Pointing out their cruelty will not stop them.
The cruelty is the point.
Authoritarianism doesn't have "logic" as its root. It has "authority."
Go #NewMexico , go. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/04/us/new-mexico-free-child-care/index.html
"New Mexico in May became the first state to offer free child care to most of its residents. Now, after a November referendum, it’s also the first state to enshrine child care funding in its constitution, effectively making the service a universal right – and perhaps offering a model for how other states could serve their youngest residents and working parents."

Drag queens are not a danger to society.
White supremacists are a danger to society.
Absolutely right on. We spend the first third of our book (out in June) tracking how the roots of organic wellness and life-reform movements are all tangled up with the roots of Romantic > ethnonationalist > fascist fever dreams.
Since the "crunchy to alt-right pipeline" is a conversation, people may be interested in the longer history of the white power movement's investment in crunch (crunchiness) (1)

This was enlightening to read. I really appreciate her taking on the labor to explain this.
Being Black in a predominantly white work environment makes you hypervisible. In my eval, the comment “I don’t see you very much,” was made. Another colleague said, “We don’t want to bug you. It’s helpful if you’re close by.” Y’all. I’m going to do my best to articulate this 1/

I'm so horrified to hear stories of children being killed by strep throat. My father had untreated strep as a child that turned into scarlet fever. His heart was permanently damaged, which I'm convinced contributed to his death from a heart attack at age 67. Please, folks, mask
