Very sad news today: we lost Marjane Satrapi, author, artist & film-maker, and far too damned early. I've recommended her honest, emotional autobiographical Persepolis so many times to readers, for some it's their first graphic novel experience.

The French-Iranian artist and film director 'died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life,' people close to her said.

A shopkeeper can have a clear, demonstrated pattern of pulling out his gun and still get acquitted because the kid he ended up murdering was black. Decades of scaremongering by the media has hypnotized people into seeing black kids as big, scary adults. Hopefully the civil case can affirm the predominance of what everyone knows really happened.

"The ruling dismantles a landmark 2014 legal framework known as Cheshire West, which established a universal “acid test”. This means that if someone lacks the mental capacity to consent to their care and living arrangements, is under continuous supervision and control, and is not free to leave, they were legally ‘deprived of their liberty’."

1. Governor Jared Polis has signed a new conversion therapy ban, defying the Supreme Court. It uses the same mechanism Texas used to get around Roe v. Wade: private lawsuits. The law goes into effect on July 1st. www.erininthemorning.com/p/colorado-g...

Colorado Gov. Polis Signs New Conversion Therapy Ban, Defying Supreme Court

I'm against making anyone, even a straight person, feel weird about their sexual orientation. The same patriarchy and puritanical impulses that demonize queerness also make all people, but especially all women, feel like they're wrong and perhaps guilty of the sins of men either by adjacency (with straight & bi women) or by sharing the attraction to women (bi and lesbians saying "I'm just as bad as a man"). These and other points a better-written op-ed could have made from a queer perspective.

Just 35% of Republicans believe Gay and lesbian relationships are "morally acceptable;" the lowest it's been since 2011 (30%), and just 4% higher than it was in 2005. Crazy.

At the revealer, I wrote about how Zionism is (and pretty much has always been) built on erasing Palestinian identity, and how anti Zionist Jewish identity has partially in response been constructed around solidarity with Palestinians. therevealer.org/palestinians...

Skeptic's Corner: Palestinians and Zionist Identity — The Revealer

While Zionist claims to nationhood are often structured around the delegitimization of Palestinians, pro-Palestinian solidarity has become central to the Jewish identity of many on the left
