Rotten to the Core: How the Gaza genocide has revealed anti-Palestinian racism at Apple
Rotten to the Core: How the Gaza genocide has revealed anti-Palestinian racism at Apple
Apple has silenced employees who have spoken out for Palestine and shown bias toward Israel through statements and actions. In the process it has lost all credibility as a company that claims to believe in racial equity or social justice.

The Destruction of Palestine Is the Destruction of the Earth
The Destruction of Palestine Is the Destruction of the Earth
The last six months of genocide in Gaza have ushered in a new phase in a long history of colonization and extraction that reaches back to the nineteenth century. To truly understand the present crisis, Andreas Malm argues, requires a longue durée analysis of Palestine's subjugation to fossil empire.

I Live Near My Friends
I Live Near My Friends

Hello, I’m Daniel. On June 1, 2022, I moved into a co-living arrangement in Brooklyn; now I share an apartment with four best friends, with tens more living within a short walk.

Headers:

  • Conceptions about “roommates” are incorrectly anchored
  • Live with people who take living seriously
  • Peace, solitude, separation
  • Order reigns in an apartment of five
  • On the topic of Brooklyn
  • Be brave

Quote: "If you want what I have (and many people do), you need to be brave, and you need to recognize the reward of discomfort. Obtaining a proper fit in lifestyle and social sphere is not easy, otherwise we would all have it. It’s not exactly something you “find,” although that’s the way most people erroneously pursue it. It’s something you build. That means you have to be willing to move, willing to judge, willing to be judged, willing to give different ways of living (apartment arrangement, cohabitants, neighborhoods, and more) a proper trial."

Against Grief as Political Currency
"Under ordinary circumstances, we consider grief a personal and private response to loss, an inherent fact of life. When loss happens at a sociopolitical level, however, we feel compelled to politicize grief."

The radical need for friends to become informed safe spaces
The radical need for friends to become informed safe spaces
"Safe space is not only a place where I want to feel heard and seen with my vulnerabilities, it is also a place where my radical hope for the future meets your radical preparedness... Safe spaces devoid of knowledge and empathy are fragile. Such spaces prevent one from unveiling their broken hearts because the potential of healing is unknown. They put the weight of the conversation and the expectation of action, on the speaker. They can turn into a one-sided relationship, with the work of developing clarity, having an informed opinion and doing the emotional labour, placed on one person."

Discrimination: Crash Course Government and Politics #31
(8:40) Today, Craig is going to wrap up our discussion of discrimination by looking more closely at those “discrete and insular minorities” referenced in the 14th Amendment. We’ll talk about instances of discrimination of Asian, European, and Latino immigrants, Native Americans, non-English speakers, people with disabilities, and LGBT people. We’ll also talk about federal and state responses to this discrimination. It’s a lot to cover, and we’ll only scratch the surface of the battles these groups fought (and are still fighting) for equality, but we will give you some historical context for the discrimination that has occurred and the court decisioned made to help defend these groups.
