I’ve just read the piece by Joanna Chen, thanks to the helpful archive link provided above by Inanna's Gali. That such a heartfelt expression of humanity should be suppressed (and apologized for!) speaks volumes about the dehumanization currently underway.

But the cherry on top is the sanctimonious fundraising pitch at the foot of the article:

At Guernica, we’ve spent the last 15 years producing uncompromising journalism.

More than 80% of our finances come from readers like you. And we’re constantly working to produce a magazine that deserves you—a magazine that is a platform for ideas fostering justice, equality, and civic action.

If you value Guernica’s role in this era of obfuscation, please donate. Help us stay in the fight by giving.

Don’t wrench your elbow congratulating yourself on your social-justice virtue.
