A year ago, my mom let me escape the city to spend COVID with her and her view of the Blue Ridge. While we’ve shared many great moments, we’ve hit an impasse after 12 months on 5 things I just can’t explain to her…
(5) why a grownass man with a job still uses his friend’s Netflix account… (h/t @ProfAtuahene)
(4) how a justice advocate is ok with the DMX lyrics I regularly blast during work outs…
(3) why someone actively supporting unionization and antitrust efforts against Amazon receives so many boxes with their logo on them… (😳)
(2) why I think the MCU functions as the Greek myths of our time… &
(1) why I insist that there’s a limit on how much butter and/or sugar to add to a meal.

It seems increasingly clear that DC officials and Capitol Police - at a minimum - internalized the false and fatal logic of “both sides.” They keep mentioning lessons learned from last summer, but evidence shows BLM protesters do not show up the same way white supremacists do.
BLM crowds have been much larger, unarmed, & overwhelmingly peaceful even when provoked by law enforcement. White supremacist crowds have been smaller, heavily armed and violent in rhetoric and actions - often explicitly designed to terrorize public officials inside Capitols.
“Applying lessons” from justice summer to a Trump rally requires an epic level of bias and intelligence failures. Leaving moral inequivalence, it’s like saying you prepared to play the Steelers based on lessons from how you screwed up your game against the Cubs last summer.
