    At last: Some analysis about US militarism. It was painful to see cops and soldiers and guns literally paraded around w/o self reflection yesterday at the Capitol, esp considering what happened there two weeks before.

    An NPR analysis finds that nearly 20 percent of the people charged in connection with the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol have served or are currently serving in the military.

    Wish I’d written this without typos LOl but grateful it’s had such good interaction. I really like how my colleagues model “prisms” or “lenses” rather than “lanes” or “beats.” They can write abt anything but use deep expertise to create a special way of analyzing life.

    A way to avoid fatigue as you move through life working towards justice is to pick One issue and use it as a prism. Ppl I admire to do this well. does it w drugs. w sex work. & w prisons. w homelessness.

    ...and when high profile "professional" unions do well, the only kind of good trickle-down economics happens. It helps other workplaces do better, too.

    I wish the New Yorker staff well in this effort, even though the one time I had a piece commissioned there (which ran elsewhere) I found the entire process to be a racist, insensitive, homophobic clusterfuck. Every work place should be unionized...

    And companies like Conde Nast(y) which cry poverty, spare us. If you can't afford to be in the business, don't pay Anna Wintour her millions while trying to get writers, editors, janitors and clerical staff to work for peanuts.
