Just like with Climate change, fascism is something you see on your phone in videos until you are the one taking the video.

"Men whose triggers pull their fingers. Men who would rather fight than win."

“Get your hands off of him. You don’t even have a warrant,” says one staff member, shielding the man from an immigration agent. “Let him go. You need to get out.” apnews.com/article/ice-...

ok so they caught Ken with a live boy or a dead girl, huh?

This is inconceivable. Congressional Democrats need to leave Twitter yesterday. What are they doing? @schatz.bsky.social left Bluesky after complaining it was too "left." He's still on Twitter.

“California’s agricultural industry is absolutely massive. The state grows about a third of the country’s vegetables, three-quarters of its fruits and nuts, and employs nearly 900,000 farmworkers each year.” laist.com/news/immigra...

Ah, I see we're back to the "our fentanyl comes from Canada* and you must act to stop it**" routine *It doesn't **Canada already has

While in detention, Khalil “hosted ‘office hours’ for fellow immigrant detainees, leaning on his past experience working at a British embassy in Beirut to help others organize paperwork and find translators for their cases.” 'I’m pretty good at bureaucracy,’ Khalil said.”

They're doing it under the guise of searching for healthcare fraud, so they're intimidating providers and circumventing HIPAA As usual, they've chosen a test case they think Dems will be too cowardly to challenge. This WILL be used against abortion providers if they get away with it here

somehow, Roy Cohn has returned

The Texas Attorney General is soon to become Extremely Divorced, something that does not portend well for Texas politics

Yeah the vibes are dire anywhere with people who have a fucking clue And quite honestly I can't be around people who don't anymore, so this is the website for me

The fascists are building the narratives needed for complete control and a deeply violent police state.

Though much remains uncertain (e.g. outcomes of lawsuits re: canceled grants), it is clear that U.S. gov funding for science — especially science that intersects w/ concerns about human flourishing — is going to be significantly diminished in coming years. Here are a few things we can do to help:

It is a very good time to be interrogating where your life (including your community) is supported by government, and thinking about what you will do if (when) that support fails. Because the people in charge are intent on rigging it so these support structures fail in the coming months and years.

Community members are bravely standing up to ICE troops attempting to conduct a mass raid on a cannabis greenhouse in Camarillo, CA. People on the ground reporting that federal troops have continued to attack crowd with tear gas: www.instagram.com/p/DL8SP_DgfAa/

See, I think this is exactly the reason kids need to learn file systems, both analog and digital. Creative knowledge work isn't just knowing how to FIND information, it's understanding how to organize and sort & reconstitute information in new ways. Systematic categorization is a key part of that.

Centrists: “Karl stop calling it a fascist invasion of blue states it’s not an invasion stop being hyperbolic” The fascists:

The constitution is a social construct like law and like the norms we had taken for granted. Fascism doesn’t care about law or constitutionality it is a steam roller that destroys social norms and the agreements that underpin democracy and society. The constitution doesn’t matter to fascists.

Anyone know of any orgs collecting and compiling videos that citizens have taken of masked ICE agents? If so, hit me up

The bigger issue here is that phones and touchscreen devices in general encourage informational passivity. They invite you to consume, not to do research & creative knowledge work (breaking down informational sources, combining disparate pieces of info from different sources, reconstituting)

I am having a very hard time managing my fury listening to Gisele Fetterman doing a media circuit on a book tour for a book about a politics of "tenderness." She's clearly a kind-hearted person but it tries my patience hearing her talk about tenderness while partnered with a genocide advocate

Remember when the loudest liberals on this app decided it was easier to try and attack those of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism as “uneducated” or “reactionary” when we pointed out the Democratic Party at the highest levels has been radicalized towards fascism… Whelp…

Iran still has the capacity to build a bomb, and is now even more motivated to do so The Houthis aren't standing down, but are actively escalating Gaza ceasefire still a long way off Russia ramping up attacks on Ukraine Trump's foreign policy record really is a complete catastrophe.

NYC friends: anyone have a line on solid food assistance in Brooklyn, especially around Crown Heights? A friend in need is having trouble staying nourished and says a lot of pantries are closed this month and next.

Aim high. I'm not joking at all.

“On Thursday, his lawyers filed a claim for $20 million in damages against the Trump admin, alleging Khalil was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an antisemite as the government sought to deport him over his prominent role in campus protests.” apnews.com/article/mahm...

This shit just whizzed by every day so I want to flag that Israel killed at least 15 people including 10 children who were queued for medical care

These images and video coming out of California are a view of the republicans fascist advance and its unfolding war against America. Anyone claiming we can beat this through non violence and voting alone is lying. The republicans are at war against us and people need to act like it.

Grok knows who’s in charge. If you ask it about a controversial topic, it’ll check X first to see if Elon’s weighed in. 🙄 x.com/jeremyphowar...

Yes, they literally are trying to kill as much of the population as they can. It is a pro eugenics social Darwinist movement that sees America as “mindless eaters” that must be “culled” so the strongest can survive. MAHA and the rights plan is literal autogenocide and social murder at scale

Honestly just fucking retaliate for all I care. This all sucks.

As people are killed in climate change fueled floods and fires across the country, the National Guard is being called in to help roundup working-class people in #California.

If an AI threatened me I'd RETIRE off that settlement money, lol I would call every lawyer

Right now San Francisco, the heartland of America, is so foggy that I can barely see past a block. This city is MAGIC ✨

you can now toggle between southern klansman and suburban-mom-who fears-public-transportation like they’re voice mods on a gps

(It's not, but the Constitution only matters if it is enforced, and state capture is making that ... hard.)

Imagine if the left complained that police and military members vote conservative too often so we need to artificially correct that

I used to be incredibly skeptical of postponing tech for kids until I started thinking about how much of user interface operates based on analog world metaphor. I'm still not opposed to SOME tech for kids, but more and more I think they need early or simultaneous exposure to those analog systems.

Full Buck Moon. 🌕 🦌

Bille Jean King is an absolute treasure. I've had the privilege of meeting her on a couple of occasions, and she's even better in person than her public persona suggests — kind, generous, funny. Listen to her, and listen to trans people.

Many liberals have drank the far-right cool aid and think that “the people” want draconian anti-immigration policies. They don’t! In fact, they hate them. High time to break-out of this Stockholm syndrome and develop constructive and realistic immigration policies.

Tom Homan talks like a good ol' boy who's black-out drunk and 5 seconds from projectile vomiting in an alley, from the slurred speech to the confused aggression to the unvarnished, naked racism

Someone is exited that the whole fam is going out for a walk. #DaiilyChester

Love to spend my Thursday night trawling eBay for emergency Japanese sunblock because a guy who looks like a leatherback turtle thinks good sunscreen protects us from photosynthesizing or some shit

for those keeping score, antifascist researchers remain un-defeated against Patriot Front and its Active Club network.

The DOJ claimed it released 11 hours of “full raw” footage from a camera near Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. But @dmehro.bsky.social discovered the footage was modified, likely using Adobe software and came from at least two source clips www.wired.com/story/metada...

Picking Fights crimethinc.com/SeaSol In these reflections, participants in the Seattle Solidarity Network share what they have learned in the course of seventeen years of experimenting with tactics via which workers and tenants can defend each other against bosses and landlords.

Someone: Look at this amazing original medieval art piece showing Saint Maurice! Me: Yes, pretty cool but made by South African artist Mnqobi Nyathikazi in 2019. I love reverse image search tools.

I love a well-written FAQ

There is literally not one person in this story who is not a bad guy

I don't know how to explain it but this woman is what would happen if you made porn sentient. Not just this, everything she does. Her look. Her vibe. Her photo-ops. idk

Fitness hack: reach your step goals daily by doing this one thing - forget something. Always be so hurried and rushed that you inevitably forget your phone, your wallet, your toddler…anything that will make you have to double back, thereby increasing your step count with ease! You’re welcome.

This is absolutely not out of control it’s what they told you they were doing and experts and others within academia spent months explaining was the goal. This is what fascism is America is now a fascist country this is what control looks like under fascism: power and its use of terror.

“Lopez, a U.S. citizen, said her undocumented husband worked at Glass House. ‘Last time I talked to him, he said he was hiding somewhere,’ she said. ‘They're taking hardworking people who have had no problems with the law.’”

This is true and important -- Also sheriffs tend to me more conservative and use more force. See Chad Bianco

5+ months after we released research hypothesizing that the pro-Russia Pravda network was grooming LLMs to spit out propaganda, even "reasoning" models are still citing the network. Proud to publish this piece with AI critic @garymarcus.bsky.social! americansunlight.substack.com/p/bad-actors...

Benedictine spirituality has deeply formed my faith and practice of prayer. I owe a great deal to the religious orders and theologians - all spiritual descendants, in one way or another - of St. Benedict, patron of Europe and father of Western monasticism. So Happy Feast of St. Benedict. 🙏🏻

Read this entire thread. There's lots of legal wrangling in here, but it's extraordinary. Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador and tortured, is seeking assurances he won't be kidnapped and deported again, with zero due process, if released from prison. The state won't commit to that.

In which DHS admits that ICE abducted Rümeysa Öztürk and threw her in prison based on doxxing of her by sensationalist, Islamophobic website Canary Mission.

It is a racial purity police force.

Everyone is being so mean about this but Trump is just helping Ian Miles Cheong finally make his first IRL friend

New channel for those interested in intersections of mutual aid + prepardness. "“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born…” It’s our job to meet this turbulent era with a willingness to care for one another. We protect us." Videos here: www.youtube.com/@BlackFlagCi...

This is actually a nuts story. British kids in their early 20s find Wagner reps on telegram. Proceed to get hired to burn down a warehouse with supplies bound for Ukraine, and were planning kidnapping a Ukrainian businessman.

And here we are.

Not great! And also a window into why Trump isn't necessarily gonna piss off the base cutting their federally-funded meteorological services even as lack of predictive capacity costs lives in places like Texas

This is the new US Ambassador to Malaysia

Hello MAHA! Are you disillusioned over this? Have you spent time around Kash Patel and a certain DC crypto kingpin? Let's talk! I’m mlm335 on Telegram or mandawritesthings at proton dot me. You can DM me here for Signal. I will not publish your name.

Sir, you cannot park your Lek Sloopwerken here.

This is not true at all. There has been a lot of reporting about Betar and who runs it. People, please stop following these grifter accounts. Tell your friends to stop following these grifter accounts that jump on bandwagons with nonsense information.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) canceled a $3 million grant intended to ensure "last mile" communications—vital for preventing tragedies like those in Texas, where over 100 people died and more than 170 remain missing. Why was this done? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dhs-...

shot, chaser.

Once in Spain upon learning I was English a local very solemnly said to me "Oh. I'm sorry." It took a moment for me to realise he was talking about the fact we'd just lost the football

Really hard to convey just how bad this is going for the Trump admin... can't pull the "deep state" excuse so easily now that they've shed 250k+ federal workers and worked overtime to concentrate gov't power in the Oval Office. www.yahoo.com/news/o-reill...

Amazing piece from @crimethinc.com on nearly two decades of community fights against abusive bosses and landlords from the Seattle Solidarity Network. We spoke with the group back in 2015 about organizing across borders. itsgoingdown.org/how-groups-a...

The funny thing about articles like this is they're mostly written by people who came here, posted a shitty opinion, and then everybody argued with them

Tucker Carlson interviewed George Santos and I don't know who should be more embarrassed.

Baby is having an uncommon stretch of sleeping in but I keep waking up at half 5 anyway. I am in the baby prison of the mind

The skeletons in this guy's closet are gonna be grim aren't they?

Even in places where there are "sanctuary laws," police are always cooperating with ICE. It's simply impossible not to.

I've just listened to the first episode of this, which is free to listen in the QAA podcast's regular feed. Like all of Liv's work, it's fascinating, well-researched and thoughtful, and I'm so happy she's got an opportunity to go deep on this important topic. Go check it out and subscribe for more!

I get the impression that a lot of the physical stuff kids used to use (and sort, and clean up) at school has been replaced by digital simulacra that simply vanish into the ether when you're done. It takes sustained adult direction to learn clean up, and that's in short supply when the ratio's 1:30

More norms are going bye-bye. "Experts Question the Legality of Deploying National Guard Officers as Immigration Judges. Using 'military courts to hear civilian cases is the essential component of martial law.'" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When we do find out it's gonna be Bluesky Christmas

Netanyahu just helped get Trump elected. What is this? They’re posing with him? Genuinely do not understand the thinking that goes on behind this.
