Don't forget too the role of FoxNews and other media platforms in all this.

Big reason why American's definition of violence is so narrow and never includes or considers state/billionaire-sanctioned violence. Why the #NoKings movement has only ever communicated "non-violence" as a core tenet.

In this country, we believe in self-defense but only if the perpetrator is poor. State violence and economic violence are actions we must absorb quietly, lest we lose the support of the people who can actually enact change—professional-managerial class.

@fromjason If more people paid for news, they could make the choice to stop paying outlets that do what's in that quoted toot and pay the ones that don't instead. As long as people want their news for free, it's going to reflect the interests of whoever pays the bills, and unfortunately that's most often a business that would like to blur the line between journalism and PR, or a government.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
