Regarding the debate around the racism of the multiple factions of the

As we in the US have been saying for years about the Republican party's
turn to explicit and open authoritarianism, believe people when they tell
you who they are.
In my experience, real pragmatism follows action and results. The

Hi Keith and all,
I’m confused as to why you’d interpret my comment as an *appeal to the history
of settler colonialism and the continued history of slavery* as *a reductio ad
absurdum*. Just to be clear, this isn’t some kind of academic discussion to me.
I certainly never suggested that voting

Hi all.
This is maybe jumping the tracks of this thread started by David's essay, or
maybe it’s actually bringing it back online… not sure. But, Patrick’s anecdote
about verbalizing the urgency of the climate catastrophe is something many of
us here, I’m sure, relate to.
