Well, it looks like I have a window for more editorial work, with nothing lined up for the next couple of months, so if anyone is looking for an in-depth manuscript critique--annotated m/s + overview report + follow-up wrap-up chat by Zoom--hit me up. One-to-one mentoring by Zoom is also available.

you know you want one…

Truly disappointed in the hacker collective. Failing to uncover the redacted names in these files has been your raison d'être from the beginning of the internet… *sad* Unmask every accomplice or turn in your hacker cred & go work for your uncle at the bank 😑

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

'as usual nothing will chan....' go and explain yourself to a child you love right fucking now & see if you can hold to that

Bluesky closing accounts with IPs in Gaza and the West Bank is shitty behaviour. One reason I never left Twitter and why I'll be putting more energy into Upscrolled

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

Really important and the reason why all the videos showing what #ICE continues to do in Minneapolis have stopped. They are going after legal observers! Is there a fund to contribute for legal fees for these democracy defenders? #ICEOut

I saw them knocking phones out of hands!

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

the 5th column is we the people, forget about church, get down from yer steeple. withhold consent and be content what ya got (it’s more than ye know)

it’s almost as if the algorithm is set to maximal disconnect. followers and followed is not the moots it once was on the bird app… Upscrolled is no better. no wonder we can’t organize, heads down in screens and simulation

👉If the working and middle classes withheld labor, consumption, and debt service, economic throughput would seize. A coordinated general strike would invert bargaining power, compelling elite response not by rhetoric, but by material constraint. Political attention follows halted capital flows.

Galloway launched "Resist and Unsubscribe" — a one-month economic strike. Cancel Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, OpenAI subscriptions. These companies are a third of the S&P. Hit the revenue, move the market. resistandunsubscribe.com

Protesters Turn to Economic Disruption to Fight ICE A nationwide shutdown, inspired by a one-day general strike in response to the killings of two US citizens in Minneapolis last month, shows the evolving tactics of groups from Minnesota to LA mobilizing against Trump’s immigration agenda.

Tech stocks went down today. Scott Galloway's economic strike must be working :)

It is very easy to call for unity with the right when the right isn't actively trying to criminalize your existence.

The Department of Justice has demanded voter files from nearly every state and is suing those that refuse — despite states’ authority over voter rolls and elections. Here's what you need to know:

I have not seen Republicans this anti gun since Ronald Reagan panicked and legislated gun control when the Black Panthers exercised their 2nd Amendment rights.

This is an excellent poem - "To the Latinos wearing red hats" youtu.be/ElC1BxFQEVY

"tired of some of their admiration for [insert lefty or left-leaning political and cultural figure]" explains a solid three-quarters of the last decade of american politics

it’s 10°F (-12C) outside, and the power is out… staying warm reading Gramsci, mostly for his vignettes of Sardinia…folklore warms the spirit something in my genetic memory pulls me back to mount Ogliastra where the wind is relentless and the snow drifts high and community means survival.

Stokley Carmichael wrote that "in order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none. Historically, It never did. Violence is the official language of Western imperialists and colonizers, as it has been for centuries.

Take cognitive scientist Joscha Bach's conversations w/ Epstein (nevermind a glut of MIT's best & brightest on DoD grants) still advocating race science in 2016. That cant be resolved if STEM is positioned under the apolitical "trust science" framework -- Science is & always has been political.

Don't believe media lies peddled by newspapers & TV owned by billionaires only interested in increasing their obscene wealth & power #SocialistSunday

Since I am WAY late to fund me Friday, I'm going to keep this up through the weekend. In honor of Link who remains unjustly banned, I am doing Fund Me Friday. Drop your links in this thread and let’s get some needs met!

The rally has taken the street, heading east toward Lake Michigan. The marchers are carrying a huge banner that reads, "Defend Democracy It's time for a general strike!"

It was fucking cold, and the snow was heavy, but the energy of this crowd warmed my heart.

So, Donald Trump, who presides over a regime which suppresses dissent by shooting citizens in the face, is gathering a war machine to attack an oil-rich country because of how they deal with protesters... Have I got that right?

JUST IN - FBI report, citing a confidential human source released in the final batch of Epstein files, claims "Trump has been compromised by Israel."

New: Trump accused of raping a 13-year-old in newly released epstein files today.

The US Is Pushing So Many Regime Change Agendas It's Hard To Keep Up It’s just incredible how quickly and aggressively the US is advancing longstanding agendas of global conquest under the Trump administration. Now they’re racing to take out Cuba. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-us-is-...

A nationwide coalition of prosecutors have launched FAFO to hold lawless ICE agents + other federal officers accountable! No one is above the law! Support FAFO and spread the word!... FederalOverreach.org”

Some of us have been antagonistic to ALL of these politicians since before some of you were born.

And what I'll tell you is that the question "how often is it right" is seductively simple but at most an input into the real question which is something like "does it make me more likely to be right and more aware of when I'm wrong"

Just following orders? Who could have guessed they'd say that.
