Longest running PSA in U.S. history, "Remember Only YOU Can Prevent Wildfires," manufactured individual responsibility for climate crisis. Same energy deemphasizing public prevention, institutional crisis response, govt. duty to assist folk, "Remember Only YOU can prevent dying!"

In "Dystopian Dreams, Utopian Nightmares: AI and the Permanence of Racism" The Georgetown Law Journal I argue the hype over generative AI is steeped in utopian appeals to a transhumanist future papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. Yet such appeals are built on the backs of Black and Brown nightmares 1/4

James Baldwin famously said, "You always told me 'It takes time.'" Its taken my entire family's life time, "how much time do you want for your progress?" I wonder, like Baldwin, "What is it you want me to reconcile myself to?" Today makes a full year since we issued this warning

June Jordan's Life After Lebanon essay from 1984 still resonates today. She laments, "For a long time I believe that we supposed the problem was that of misinformation. If only Americans knew the truth of things then they would rally to help, to stop the invasion, the slaughter."

I think when this country shows you who it is time and time again you should believe it. The masks have been off from the founding despite persistent mythologies. Enter this vote for forced labor and servitude in 2024 . . .

VP Harris didn't use imagery of Condoleezza Rice but her 2.0 run invoked Rice's legacy in power, more than the politics of Fannie Lou Hamer or Shirley Chisholm. Once you see it you won't unsee it. Someone with more skills than me can make the meme. Can't empathize with that 🤷🏿‍♀️.

Daniel Penny choked a man to death for "loudly complaining" about being hungry + thirsty. A judge said that even a manslaughter charge was too much, yet again affirming what we already know - that the life of people who don't have a place to live in this country is disposable.

The world worth fighting for is a radically different world altogether. My latest, Pax Americana: How Not to Hide an Empire, reconsiders foundational myths about the U. S., the role of the law, the rule-based international order, and Pax Americana’s upholding of it. Avaialble 👇🏿
