- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyNew from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...
- Reposted by Xavier HarmonySomething important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.
- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyNeedless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.
- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyAustralia Day is such bullshit. NSW proclamation day at best. At worst a celebration of the crimes of colonisation. If you have to acknowledge that the day is a source of pain for many, that’s a damn good sign it’s a shit day to have as your national day.
- Reposted by Xavier Harmony“Only 25 of the world’s 300 largest cities have female mayors. A tiny 5% of municipal leadership positions are filled by women. Despite these figures, many of the cities that are making the most progress to become greener, cleaner, more equitable and liveable are led by women.” READ: bit.ly/4rbmcHu

- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyI don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyMy whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyI lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking. Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals… All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it. We CAN change things.

- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyHere’s an article from this year with the Australian gun lobby boasting that, with surging gun numbers, it was winning the fight against firearms control advocates. Blame guns. Blame anti-Semitism. Blame terrorists. Do not blame everyday Australians who marched for peace.
- Reposted by Xavier HarmonyAs an American who has personally written statements for American politicians after mass shootings, it has been wild to see how differently such a tragedy has been playing out in Australia.
