More CHILDREN have been KILLED IN GAZA since October 7th THAN HAVE BEEN KILLED IN ALL CONFLICTS GLOBALLY SINCE 2019.

"The silos that exist in government are not mirrored in the lives of community members or in individuals' engagement with government. People do not experience their lives or relationships or problems as occurring within discrete buckets."

--Evan Andrews, presenting at ACAG

This blew my mind more than it should have for something that is completely obvious. I am used to thinking about things from the community side; this made me realize what seems "reasonable" on the gov't side causes gaps.

This is not ok. This is not what anyone, anywhere on this earth, deserves.

This is from The Guardian this morning.

Arielle Angel's gorgeous and courageous as fuck essay is worth your time this week. It hurt to read, but in a different way than everything else ... this hurt because it reopened my heart to hope, the bloody and bruised kind that feels like it asks too much of any of us.

We're late for some interrogation of what centrism actually is, what it shows up for, what its aims are.

This is, quite likely, bullshit.
