‘DON’T SAY GAY’ IS A PUBLIC MENACE

AS VICIOUS AS IT SOUNDS

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

THE UNPLEASANTNESS OF TEACHING SLAVERY
[[link removed]]
By Mary Niall Mitchell and Kate Shuster
Slate

 

Critics rallying under the banner of “anti-CRT” describe
teaching about racism and the world it has made, as divisive and
disturbing. But we can’t teach the history of the United States
without teaching about slavery. 

FLU TRUX KLAN
[[link removed]]
By Abby Zimet
Common Dreams

Once-staid Ottawa remains occupied by raucus hordes of angry,
maskless, clueless, entitled louts in big trucks waving swastikas and
imagined grievances, pissing on war memorials, harassing residents,
and claiming the World Economic Forum created COVID to forge a
"Marxian-inspired totalitarian system" with mandates that steal our
"freedom." 

PATRIOT FRONT: INSIDE A NEOFASH GANG

THE INNER WORKINGS

LEAKED HATE CRIME CONFESSIONS

CANCEL ME
[[link removed]]
By David Rovics
CounterPunch

The reason why “I’m A Better Anarchist Than You” is my most
popular song on Spotify is because the anarcho-puritans are such a
toxic and self-destructive tendency within my audience, the leftwing
youth of the US, and Germany, to name two countries, and people facing
these kinds of attacks themselves on a regular basis find the song
cathartic.

PORN VS SEX
[[link removed]]
By Annie Lord
The Guardian

By the end of university, between this, Fifty Shades of Grey and my
own insecurities, I had internalised the idea that if you weren’t
into hardcore stuff, you were boring in bed. 

BOOK REVIEW: AFTER THE FACTORY CLOSES
[[link removed]]
By Kim Phillips-Fein
The Baffler

Farah Stockman’s _American Made_ is an unsparing description of the
complex ideas and challenging lives of three Rexnord workers offers a
stark challenge to anyone who would write off the heartland as
deplorable.

VACCINE? I’D RATHER DIE
[[link removed]]
By John Keilman
Chicago Tribune

The threat of getting fired still hasn’t persuaded some to get
COVID-19 vaccine. How are resisters affecting the pandemic?

COVID AND AIDS
[[link removed]]
By Michael Musto
Village Voice

In October 1982, press secretary Larry Speakes responded to a
reporter’s query about the virus by making jokes and indulging in
gay-panic-style banter. Asked if Reagan was aware of AIDS, Speakes
replied, “I don’t have it. Do you?” as the room erupted into
laughter. Over 36 million global HIV deaths later, that encounter is
more chilling than ever.

AFTER A HALF CENTURY, GLORIA WILLIAMS WALKS FREE AT 76
[[link removed]]
By Frances Madeson
The Real News

Williams had been preparing for her release for 918 days, ever since
July 22, 2019, when she’d received the Louisiana Board of Pardons &
Parole’s 5-0 vote of confidence. During that two-and-a-half-year
limbo she caught COVID twice and almost didn’t make it back from the
ICU.
