Journalists/writers covering #MauiFires or any of the climate-related disasters would benefit from clearer understandings of connections globally across colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, racism, international development, patriarchy to #ClimateChange. I hope these help but feel free to ask!

Hey, America, Grow Up!
"Left or right, apparently we’re all victims now.
The instability of the self has created an immature public culture —
impulsive, dramatic, erratic and cruel.
In institution after institution, from churches to schools to nonprofits,
the least mature voices dominate and hurl accusations,
while the most mature lie low, trying to get through the day."
The best summation I've seen is that MAGA world is afflicted by a combination of shared psychosis and symbiotic narcissism. Reasoning and facts don't matter to them.
Not your typical writing magazine, because it’s not about writing. It’s about the lives of writers. Stories of love and loss, adventure and discovery. The world as seen through the eyes of a writer, twisted though it may be.

"Donald Trump represents that ruling class, in the worst possible way. He is a true vulgarian. His mannerisms are crude, his language antagonistic, his thoughts are vindictive and he's always whining and playing the victim card."

U.S. #law schools should discourage students from applying for clerkships with #ClarenceThomas; faculty should refuse to recommend students for those clerkships; firms and other legal employers should refuse to hire people who have chosen to clerk for Thomas starting this year (when the large extent of his corruption became known). To do otherwise is to be complicit with Thomas’s unethical conduct. #LawFedi #LegalEthics #JudicialEthics
