I suspect this is a result of Italians striking, blocking docks and streets and protesting and boycotting in the millions the other day. Which means, we must do it MORE, BIGGER, and for LONGER. Because people have all the power indeed.

while the AI bros and philosophers contemplate rights for hypothetical entities with a *potential* for conscientiousness thus deserving of rights, in reality, giving rights to AI/robots equals to giving even more rights to the developers and vendors of these type of robots

fuck your "focusing on the positive" if it means ignoring, suppressing or distorting reality and folding for fascism

Aww, he's preparing for the capitalist economy ❤️

I cannot help but think of the Armenian genocide where repeated forced displacements were a core part of destroying an entire people

Somewhere along the line the idea took hold that every part of public life needs to be efficient, an efficiency exclusively expressed in terms of whether or not it makes money. "Makes money for who, exactly?" is a question that is never asked.

"If we want real democracy, we need to extend it to the economy. That means overcoming the capitalist law of value and redirecting production toward social and ecological needs." Thanks to @rosaluxglobal.bsky.social for this conversation. progressive.international/wire/2025-08...

The struggle against racism must be anti-capitalist, and the struggle against capitalism must be anti-racist.

Across the board, Western media sanitizes genocide and shields Israel from accountability. That’s exactly what AIPAC counts on. It’s easier for US politicians to cash AIPAC’s checks when the headline says “Hamas camera” instead of “Reuters journalist murdered.”

The Democrat community has to swallow a bitter pill. You want to win elections? You want a future day where not everyone hates you? Then stop picking utterly terrible candidates and insisting everyone has a duty to vote for them.

“you want freedom? then you must vote for people who won’t give you freedom” do you hear yourself? it’s nonsense

The idea that Western Civilization will collapse if we let like 1% of people swap genders or whatever is so bizarre to me that I have a hard time even conceptualizing what these people think "Western Civilization" is and what exactly will happen to it in their nightmare gender scenario.

"Why Doesn't Hamas Release The Hostages?", And Other Reader Questions The most important thing to make clear here is that anyone who suggests that Israel's onslaught in Gaza has anything whatsoever to do with hostages is either ignorant or lying. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/why-doesnt...

I think the more important question as far as the hostages go is, "why didn't Zionist Israel negotiate to get them back?" Why, instead of negotiating for the hostages' release did Israel proceed to drop bombs on the hostages? Why is it now starving the few hostages who may have survived their bombs?

I am willing to donate my time and money to any candidate who rightly labels Israel a terrorist state.

Zionism Is What It Does Zionism means exactly what we see before us today. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Apartheid. Nonstop violence and abuse. That’s what Zionism means. And anti-Zionism means opposing these things. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/zionism-is...

Israel right now 🔥🔥

Nothing creates support for Hamas more than Israel's actions in Gaza. Nothing creates hatred of Israel more than Israel's actions in Gaza. Nothing creates hatred of Jews more than Israel's actions in Gaza. Everything Israel's supporters complain most about is caused by Israel.

Only problem with paying homage to Union Generals is that the Civil War was just a 5 year pause in them committing genocide against indigenous Americans.

Institutionalised racism[TM], new*, improved* with AI! * Not new * Not improved

When I was a child, the computers were the ones who would scream when we got online

Srsly why won't people realise that gen ai is just the most obsequious customer service dressed up as information making you believe it's knowledge

"What Was Israel Supposed To Do After October 7?" Is Asking The Wrong Question A much more useful and interesting question is “What were Palestinians supposed to do in response to all of Israel’s abuses prior to October 7?” www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/what-was-i...

If you want to make that argument, you have FIRST to establish that all property is fully legally acquired and that all rules pertaining to it are unimpeachable and best, and that those who do not accept them are outside of human community.

stop being fucking evil and maybe people will stop shooting ceos just a suggestion

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

"You're not allowed to help the poor because they're disproportionately black and that's not FAIR" is a really vile argument to put on paper.

Note also that the lawsuit alleges that because race and class are correlated, providing free tuition to lower income students is also racial preference. They just want a pure aristocracy of inherited wealth

Centrist/Moderate is great branding because it implies reasonableness but there's nothing reasonable about stubbornly clinging to pro-business and pro-upper class politics when the country is falling apart. This is an ideology like any other, and it's a bad one

i don’t care about how this might make me come across but i’m not interested in “business as usual” type of research, research that maintains the status quo, research that fails to confront difficult issues in the AI ethics/accountability space. i don’t want anything to do with it

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

One thing that Americans truly don't understand is that other countries have exactly the same right to bomb us as we have to bomb them.

When I remember what we were told to believe & what most people believed 50 years ago, and then what top intellectuals told us to believe and most of us believed again 30 years ago, and I look at the world is today, I wonder what the purpose of social sciences is.

Apparently, the lesson that the GOP took away from the Financial Crisis of 2008 is that it's much easier to manipulate the financial system if you remove oversight.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

@khwezishange.bsky.social OK, we need to start an #AllPurposeTweet thread on here.

Oh look it's dystopia
