Listen to Owasso Students, Not Chaya Raichik or Taylor Lorenz — Assigned
An environment in which it is permissible for a student to be violently beaten and later die without school officials so much as reporting the incident to police is not created overnight. It does not come to be over the course of a single month. It’s been fomenting for years, and the voices I want to hear from and uplift in the wake of Nex’s death are those of the young people who have endured that nightmare firsthand.
Libs of TikTok targeted a district, then a non-binary student was killed on campus
A motive for this killing has not been shared by law enforcement, but we know that schools in Oklahoma have been specifically pushing violent eliminationist rhetoric against transgender and non-binary youth— a fact exemplified by the state’s hiring of Chaya Raichik following her incitements of terror against the state’s schools over LGBTQ+ rights.

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand
The moral thing I wish to say to [future generations] is very simple. I should say love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other. We have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don’t like. We can only live together in that way, and if we are to live together and not die together we must learn the kind of charity and kind of tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher

A major LGBTQ+ org just left X over the site's cyberbullying of queer youth - LGBTQ Nation
In its announcement, GLSEN wrote that the platform’s “discriminatory policies and harmful practices… continue to put LGBTQ+ youth at risk.” Specifically, the organization mentioned X’s quiet removal of a policy that protected transgender people from deliberate misgendering and deadnaming.

Supremacists only feel "safe" if the people they hate are cowering in fear of their eagerness to deliver the next punch/kick/bullet
--- James Kroeger
(Note: I wouldn't say "only" but that can be one relatively common way to feel safe for people with a supremacist mindset)

What would the western media say if the same thing happened in Iran or Russia and was directed towards Jews or Christians?

[…] Israel is on the wrong side of history right here. There’s nothing good that can be said about Israel today. Listen to the statements of Israeli politicians and Israeli soldiers. These are hate-filled statements. Statements where they call the Palestinians animals and their actions that are derived from these statements are genocidal, literally the definition of genocide, and it’s being ignored by the United States and the west.

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand
In the main, I think religion has done a great deal of harm. Largely by sanctifying conservatism and adhesion to ancient habits, and still more by sanctifying intolerance and hatred. The amount of intolerance that has gone into religion, especially in Europe, is quite terrible.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Interview by Woodrow Wyatt, BBC TV (1959)

We must all be pacifists, wanting peace, not just a truce that maybe only serves to rearm, but a true peace, which is the fruit of dialogue. Peace is not achieved with weapons, because they don't defeat hatred and the thirst for domination, which will re-emerge, perhaps in other ways.

When indie comic character Pepe the Frog becomes an unwitting icon of hate, his creator fights to bring Pepe back from the darkness. A Frankenstein-meets-Alice in Wonderland journey of an artist battling to regain control of his creation.
What happens when an innocent character created in an artist’s early adulthood morphs into a widely recognizable symbol of hatred only a decade later? This is the issue that underground comic book artist Matt Furie must grapple with as he seeks to reclaim his character, Pepe the Frog, from the grip of the Alt-Right.
In the early 2000s, San Francisco based artist Matt Furie shared his comic Boy’s Club on the internet via MySpace. The series followed a group of anthropomorphic post-college friends and their misadventures. Among them was Pepe the Frog, a peaceful, laid-back character. Managing to catch on as a popular meme, Furie initially found Pepe’s status funny and scoffed at the idea of enforcing his legal copyright. That opinion drastically changed as the tenor of Pepe’s use online took a sinister turn.
After a bizarre series of events, the factions of the internet that heavily imprinted on Pepe went to the extreme lengths of “ironic” bigotry to keep him under their control. In doing so, Pepe became widely recognized as a hate symbol, even gaining official recognition from the Anti-Defamation league as such. Now thoroughly wrenched from his original context, Pepe helped indoctrinate wide swaths of internet denizens to the philosophies of the then-burgeoning Alt-Right movement, helping to set the stage for the contentious 2016 election and its ultimate outcome.
The film takes viewers on a wild journey through various corners of the internet to show how far one’s creation can get away from their original intention and explores the power of symbols and iconography. If the genie cannot be put back in the bottle, can it at least be transformed into something else? Various artists, psychologists, lawyers, and internet culture analysts also share their perspective on this iconic cartoon frog.
With trippy Furie-esque animations, Feels Good Man puts forward a message of hope and positivity to combat a constant cycle of cynicism and hatred.
