This narcotizing blanket of small lies, slowly nudging us toward acceptance of fascist policy, has also functioned by being distinct from the more blatant, bizarre and openly violent right wing culture wars, which have served as a convenient ideological cover for the Biden admin's slow dismantling of the Covid safety net.
The archetypal move here, I think, was the CDC stopping tracking and collating Covid data at all. After 40 years of preaching transparency, studies and "more information", liberals have made the distinctly fashy pivot to "less data, more vibes" (see also Democratic governor of New York Kathy Hochul saying that subway crime is "not statistically significant, but psychologically significant" in justification of deploying soldiers to the MTA). This has gone hand in hand with the dismantling of the journalistic apparatus, which seems to be reaching its apotheosis over the last 12 months. Not to mention the rise of AI and the collapse of internet searchability.
While the right has been busy attacking the institutions and idea of history itself, in book bans, school board and university takeovers, the liberals have been engaged in an active campaign of forgetting the very thing we're literally experiencing right now." ... "They want us to forget that, a mere four years ago, the president of the United States cowered in a bunker underneath the White House as rioters shook the gates and destroyed the guardhouse at its entrance. They want us to forget what it felt like to take the streets with one another, they want us to forget that we fought the police and won, they want us to forget the promises to defund the police, they want to forget that ACAB became a slogan on every lips, that the burning of the third precinct in Minneapolis had higher approval ratings than either presidential candidate, that few things have ever been so beautiful as that hideous building given over to the flames." ...
"We can not afford such comfortable forgetting. In an age of mass gaslighting and mass misinformation in the name of mass disablement and death, where the state offers us nothing except the comforting lie that this is normal, the simple stating of the facts, standing up for our own memories, becomes an act of resistance.
Do not forget what you know. Do not forget who you are. Forgetting is an active process, and it's one we must resist and refuse."

I bought a keffiyah a few weeks back, as I'm sure a lot of people did, and I wore it today because when I woke up it was absolutely pouring. It is so warm, so comfortable, probably better than any scarf or shawl I've ever owned before. Better quality for sure.
And now I can't stop thinking about how something made by kind Palestinian hands is keeping me warm and giving me incredible comfort and security while those same gentle hands are digging the corpses of family and friends out of rubble.
And I'm dizzy and sick to my stomach from anger and shame and love all at once.
I am so lucky, so privileged to be where I am, even if this country is my greatest shame. What an honor it is to have a voice I can use to speak up against injustice. My heart bleeds for Palestine and will continue to bleed until everyone is free from the river to the sea.

had a student ask me the other day where hamas was on the world map and something inside me shattered but he disappeared in the bathroom immediately after for like 30 minutes and I couldn’t address it
I do want to give a little breakdown of current events to that class today but I’ll have to be sensitive about how to approach it for third graders
