On Wednesday, Citibank revealed in a court filing that it was told to freeze Habitat for Humanity’s bank accounts, at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the group is involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” Habitat for Humanity, you may recall, is the group that builds low-income houses in America’s communities. Jimmy Carter worked with them for decades. What did they do to earn the FBI’s ire? They received a climate grant from the Biden administration’s EPA. Other nonprofits also being targeted by the FBI for receiving climate grants include the Appalachian Community Capital Corporation, the Coalition for Green Capital, and the DC Green Bank. Yet these groups’ applications for government grants for environmental work were fully reviewed and accepted by the Biden administration’s EPA. This is not fraud. It’s targeted harassment. And it will be viewed that way by most Americans.

My only issue with the pilot is that there's a lot of references to mf eroticism and it's depicted as potentially natural and freeing, if you love someone, which is cool and works as it's done... but in a story with such a large, close knit homosocial group of women, there's not even a passing neutral, let alone positive, recognition of ff eroticism. That would be part of Bene Gesserit life, as it's been part of life in irl nun convents and women's colleges etc! It's an inevitable part of homosocial cultural spaces.

When Tula and Valya are going over the girls' records they could have casually said two girls are "particularly close" or in the dorms you could have shown a passing moment - a lingering glance or touch of a hand between two women. There's so many quiet ways to include it.

This is a particular issue since Frank Herbert was such a committed homophobe he rejected one of his sons for being gay. And the Baron in the books was a blatant homophobic stereotype. When adjusting his work, there's an obligation to do something on that front imo.

I'm talking both in terms of accurate worldbuilding *and* representation. I hope future episodes at least in a passing and neutral way mention it. Gay people don't have to be the focus, but we exist. Mention it in passing.

is anyone else just like. constantly filled with rage about their position under late capitalism and how we are expected to just keep playing this game that we know will literally kill us, is already killing people all over the world, and yet everyone around us is somehow fine with going about business as usual, with pretending we are free by being able to choose between different ways of being exploited. there is nothing more dehumanising than being forced to partake in a system that is actively detrimental to our survival as human beings, that is so physically, psychologically and spiritually destructive, and i don’t know how to deal with this anger anymore
