putting my fear and anger aside for a moment, I wonder what they will say in 200 years about this moment in American history

I think foremost a tragedy of human rights, of moral and ethical collapse. a reappraisal of money and media and what is justice, even. after two centuries I hope they have better answers than we

21st century version of Hannah Arendt will have much to say of our failings. may her speculated work bring us closer to never repeating the mistakes we are still ardently making

some may ask if the comparison is fair

to which I say, if we have to dig into

"welllllll the murders haven't started"

(yet)

then yeah

it's probably fair to compare

"But the implications are powerful. If you filter the statistic to include as unemployed people who can’t find anything but part-time work or who make a poverty wage (roughly $25,000), _the percentage is actually 23.7 percent_. In other words, nearly one of every four workers is functionally unemployed in America today"

@evan I was being cheeky but the point is serious. the "hard work of helping a group remember to take diverse needs into account" is YOURS. read the books, have the conversations, question why your circle is so white, and think about what could be done to make others feel welcome

@evan pay them $$$$$ or gtfo
