I went on Dave Zirin's show
@EdgeofSports
on
@TheRealNews
to talk about standing in solidarity with Palestine at the Olympic trials, the call for the IOC to ban Israel, and encouraging more athletes to speak up. Full interview here

It was an honor to run at the Olympic trials, and an even greater honor to organize with other athletes to stand with Palestine in the race that represents the highest level of American marathoning
How four marathoners organized a ceasefire protest from across the country:

Just as apartheid South Africa was barred from the Olympics, and as Russian representation is currently barred, apartheid, genocidal Israel should be barred from the 2024 Olympics

I talked about the power that sport has to foster mutual respect through healthy competition, and that's what the Olympics supposedly represent. But it's impossible to do that while ignoring the real violence being committed by nations against helpless people

Beyond embarrassing. We’re 11 months into an unmitigated slaughter with approaching 10% of the population estimated killed. “Ceasefire” doesn’t mean shit at this point. Arms embargo is a MINIMUM
AOC saying of Harris “she’s working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza” is the only mention Gaza gets at this DNC. Sad.

this is why it was important to set a hard standard on Palestine for DSA endorsements. because as soon as things get difficult for those candidates and elected and DSA needs to affirm that we stand against apartheid Israeli violence, they will dramatically abandon ship
The insane pressure on dsa electeds to bend their back and renounce the organization for its anti apartheid stance is why we need to prepare everyone we send in with the idea they are operating “in the enemy camp” and to act accordingly

I think that's because basic human needs like food and shelter are inherently uncommodifiable on the market. Even by capitalist logic, people can't make a "rational economic choice" to skip them. It's an effective monopoly by the owning class.

i think there's a very fundamental issue that modern capitalist cities aren't really made for living. they're warehouses of real estate capital. so even "liberal" city administrations prioritize stable property value appreciation (enforced through exclusion) above all else

great article in which the WW sets up a pointless adversarial relationship between two different free preschool providers with the tacit assumption that you'll agree that the one that will have universal coverage by 2030 is bad, for some reason
Multnomah County’s Preschool for All program requires its providers to pay teachers between $19.91 and $37 an hour… quite a bit more than the average Oregon child care worker, who makes $13.39/hour.

when I called our reps and senators I could barely get the words out. getting ready to raise our child has made me see the entire world differently. thinking about the babies who are killed, or made into refugees, or, at best, born into occupation is agonizing
I can’t stop crying. I have long cared about Palestine, but I’m feeling everything so much more deeply now that I’m about to become a mother. Our babies deserve to live in freedom.

lots of people are rightfully furious about this and might be even more furious if they knew how ridiculously targeted this rule was created to be in order to strip Caster Semenya of the ability to compete. this rule was created within the last few years.
Namibia's Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi have been withdrawn from the 400m race at the Olympics by World Athletics.
They are said to not be eligible for female classification.
The same rules are affecting Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba and Margaret Wambui.

last year, 1.25 million people in kerala were displaced from their homes because there was twice as much rain during monsoon as usual. climate crisis is already happening.
Swaths of India are becoming literally unlivable bc of heat, climate change is destabilizing monsoons that provide cooling relief in the summer, it’s amplifying electricity + water shortages, crops are dying and farmers are killing themselves. We’re a country of 1.37 BILLION.

you still have to shed excess heat your body creates. can't speak for acclimation to heat alone, but re: exertion - well trained athletes actually sweat earlier than other people, because it allows their bodies to regulate temperature more efficiently

the paramedics in the (free!) ambulance were like "are you sure you want to go to the hospital, if they treat you it could be very expensive" "how expensive?" "maybe several 10,000 yen". 10k yen is $70
I showed this tweet to my husband while we were on our way to Japan last week. Then, the day after we arrived, I had a health scare (I’m fine) and rode in an ambulance to the ER where I had to get imaging. Total with no insurance was $300

Laying out what a lot of people pointed out during the downtown clean and safe contract renewal last year - Portland's most powerful business lobbying group basically embezzles most of it's funding for lobbying activities from a public contract
Writing this is risky personally and professionally, but it’s imperative for me to share what I learned about how things really work here. If Portland’s going to get better, we must grapple with the city’s underlying dysfunction.

is there any category of person with a stronger average ratio of "highly educated, well-respected and considered intelligent" to "susceptible to falling for the first crackpot cult leader they come across" than software engineers?
He didn’t just want to build a company. He wanted to build a machine - a growing sphere of influence that could break past the walls of that little office in Berkeley and wash over the world as a force for good.
Not just a company, but a monument to effective altruism.
