Notes

Learning of Americans such as Hazel Scott, Eugene V. Debs, and Bayard Rustin always leaves me feeling the culture war is not new, America will persevere but also this society is rotten to the core and will never live up to the greatness it pretends to.

There is so much news and analysis about Putin’s attack on Ukraine, and I’ve been consuming much of it. Distracting myself, in a way, from the simple truth of unprovoked war on the European continent, driven by a nuclear-equipped madman. I can no longer delay the dread of it.

Thanks, covid.

I guess it’s my turn. 🦠

TIL: the US has a law from the Bush Jr era that authorizes invasion of the Netherlands if the International Criminal Court should dare to hold an American. Cute.

The EU is in a serious learning period over how to hold member states accountable to the union’s values. I find it surprising the mainstream press isn’t covering this more. https://twitter.com/teobone/status/1466447923772891136
