The dehumanization of women. The dehumanization of Asians. The dehumanization of sex workers. The dehumanization around class. The dehumanization of immigrants. ... Dehumanizing language is a radicalizing tool of white supremacy and white evangelical extremism (which are inextricably connected). Combine a long history of discrimination and bias with leaders who talk about the Kung Flu and grabbing them by the pussy and you can see the very short distance between our language, our thoughts, and our actions including everything from violence and diminishing that violence with just having a bad day to "Well, look what kind of work they did." This is why shame, humiliation, and dehumanizing make the world a more dangerous place for all of us. We shouldn’t tolerate anyone being shamed, humiliated or dehumanized - even the people who bring out our rage. It’s easier than accountability, it’s a quick way to discharge our anger, and it can even get some likes and fist bumps. But, there is no question that dehumanizing makes the world a more dangerous and vicious place for all of us. For a list of resources to #StopAsianHate - see my Instagram Stories. We've also made a Story Highlight Circle, #AAPI, on my Instagram so they stay available. https://lnkd.in/ews8qgt

Nous avons besoin de vous! Nous sommes en CM1 et CM2 dans une classe du Pays Basque en France. Nous étudions en classe le réseau internet à travers le monde et l'impact des réseaux sociaux (avantages et dangers!) La maitresse nous a dit qu'une photo pouvait faire le tour du monde en quelques jours mais nous avons du mal à la croire. Pouvez-vous nous indiquer si vous l'avez vue et d'où vous êtes?... Pourriez-vous la partager aussi afin de savoir jusqu'où peut aller notre photo dans le monde et combien de fois elle a été partagée? Merci pour votre aide. Pour vivre l’expérienceavec nous, , les cartes et planisphères coloriés sont sur cette page, dans le message suivant! We need you. We are a school class of 9 and 10 years old children in the Basque Country in the South West of France. We are studying the internet through the world and the impact of social networks. Our teacher told us that a picture could go around the world in a few days but we find it hard to believe. Could you let us know if you’ve seen it and where you are from? Could you share it also in order to find out how far our picture can go and how many times it is shared? Thank you for your help!

When we insist on building businesses and housing on prime farmland, or making barrier islands into luxury resorts, or placing new suburbs in the path of floods or wildfires, or building where there isn't enough water, we are perpetuating oppressive systems that keep us from a sustainable lifestyle.

If asked to help a blind man or woman cross a busy street, would you do it? Would you make sure he or she made it to the other side without getting struck by a car? Or would you stand there and watch as they risk their lives. Millions are begging for help to make it through this pandemic with their health intact. All they’re asking is, can you please wear a mask? Even if you believe you are not at risk, are you still willing to watch as other people get struck down or die? #mask #coronavirus #covid #covid19insights #wearamask
