I think they prefer slave camps for the folks who are not gainfully employed.

Every techno-optimist talking point — “the market will adjust” “workers will retrain” “give people equity in AI” “UBI will save us” gets formally killed in this paper. Not hand-waved. Proven insufficient under the model's assumptions and my mocking statement: “AI robots won't shop.”

No more “do as you're told or go to jail.” Now we erode your existence for #compliance. Lose your health insurance, your credit score, your housing, your kids to CPS, lose your job due to a background check, lose your immigration status, your license, your ability to fly commercially.

We aren't being governed. We're being surveiled. Monitored. So we can't protest. Threatened with a death if we do. Spending billion on police and private armies instead of health care and cancer research. We're not being educated. We're being corralled for extraction. We're being looted.

MONSTROUS. The surveillance state is necessary to know if what they're doing is working. This disparity produces the group-differentiated vulnerability (those who can't pay are exposed). It monetizes the vulnerability (those who can pay, pay more than they used to). #TheExtractionAge

When automation, financialization, and resource concentration mean the bottom 60% of the population is no longer needed as labor or as a consumer base, they become a cost center. At that point, the rational move under capitalist logic is no longer to exploit them but to stop spending on them.

Necropolitics is the end state of late stage capitalism and the entry point to the final implementation of the Extraction Age. Necropolitics isn't just a feature of the Extraction Age. It's the unlocking mechanism. Welcome to the Extraction Age. open.substack.com/pub/cognitiv...

And it launders the political accountability, because now when someone dies of an untreated condition or a preventable disaster, the proximate cause is “they couldn't afford it” or “they didn't have coverage.” It's an individual failure narrative rather than “the state withdrew the function.”

NECROPOLITICS No longer preventing disease. No meaningful CDC, FDA, EPA. Reduce implementation of FEMA. No cancer or climate research. Surveillance state. No environmental protection. No Medicaid and Social Security. They don't need to kill you. Your social murder will be through gov't neglect.

Data points suggest the techbro billionaire drug-addled fascist vision is: AI destroys millions of jobs; deporting millions of hard-working immigrants opens up low-wage jobs for unemployed citizens; the prison industrial complex takes care of the rest, plus homeless, with slave labor.

CALIFORNIA voters - legit if you're dropping off your ballot today, go to a dropbox, they're all over the place

All CA voters

Nissan could do something really funny to really troll Ferrari.

Also, while we're on the subject, christ above, Democrats and liberals need to cure themselves of looking for leadership and rescue from ex FBI and CIA folks. They are not your friends or your allies and the collapsing institutions will not save you.

I wrote a letter to my Colorado house representative and asked her to call a special session of the legislature in order to impeach Jared Polis.

Saw the GOAT animated movie last night on Netflix. It was surprisingly good. I wonder tho, how much Mercedes spent on the budget considering how many times the cars were shown being used by main characters.

Living in the United States at this time principally involves being an involuntary participant in a weekly pump and dump market manipulation scheme enacted by the child predator president and his cabal of bloodthirsty freaks. The entire apparatus of the state is focused on fixing the price of oil

BOMBING FOR GOD Because we know that you can't send God enough bombs to satisfy his need for destruction. That's Old Testament, I hear. Donald Trump's just trying to get closer to God. Into the New Testament he's sacrificing children instead. Your children. Double tapping all the way. Amen.

The FCC is waiving a rule that bars a single company from owning TV stations reaching more than 39% of U.S. households. Nexstar and Tegna combined would cover ~60%. Reminder that Nexstar's CEO has praised Trump and quickly pulled Jimmy Kimmel off its stations last fall. See how this works?

I just backed ZUFAN: Africanfuturistic Graphic Novel [Deluxe Hardcover] on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/eta...

Damn this is impressive, more so its 5" x 7"

Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile... Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts. And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets. War is a racket.

Once again, Chuck Schumer raking in the dough from companies he should be REGULATING, and holding ACCOUNTABLE to keep us all safe. But he is not.

The SAVE Act isn’t just about voter ID. If you’re a naturalized citizen without a passport and you lost your citizenship certificate, you’d have to reapply for proof. That means reopening your file. When citizenship files reopen, denaturalization risk follows. #Pink #Momsky

My neighbor downstairs screaming for like 30 minutes or so, and still going. I don't know how they are doing it. I'm more amazed my cat is sleeping thru it.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

It'd be darkly funny if she pops up at CBS or CNN.

👀👀👇🏼 Pay attention and spread the word, Wisconsin voters!

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

With 12 days left, every vote counts. You can vote at any early voting location in the county where you’re registered. Here are the closest ones across IL-09:

Behind Rakhi Israni's empty rhetoric is a record of cutting checks to far-right extremists. Israni claims she’s running as a Democrat when she’s really running as a fraud.

@sweetshop.app congrats on your opening. How does one get their book on your app?

If you are a Texas voter, you need to read this👇

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off. Leave your comment here: eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-... morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

Do you like war, and being surveilled at all times, and having concentration camps, and state sanctioned murder in the streets, and also you can't afford anything because jobs are going, homelessness is criminalized, and also your air and water and food are polluted? America #1!

If your most powerful donors want Trump right where he is, but the people don't, what do you do? You do what Democrats have been doing: deny, defend, deflect, slow-walk, put on a show, sabotage, etc.

Whether or not you're watching the State of the Union, the People's State of the Union, or just taking a beat, here's something easy you can do. The Sabey Corporation plans to move ahead w/ its ICE concentration camp in Tukwila, WA. Again, their public email is: [email protected] Details below.

I think the simple question to ask is how many men who were friends with and confidantes of Epstein still make up Schumer's and Jeffries' major donors.

🚨🚨🚨 🧵You Build the Fences First Infrastructure for Tyranny In 1933, the Nazis did not hide Dachau. They invited outsiders to see it. open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

Whether you realize it or not, you’re smack dab in a class war and we’re in the run-up to the final act unless we do something about it. Every institution and every safeguard and everything you care about will be bought and destroyed and turned against you unless you fight for them.

So many people are stuck in trying to appeal to the powerful, explaining how what they’re doing will fail, it will hurt people, it will self-destruct, but that time and energy is better spent appealing to colleagues and neighbors and overthrowing the powerful because their motives are not yours.

There was a moment for me as an academic where I realized the people in charge weren’t completely ignorant of the damage they were doing, they just didn’t care. What mattered was profit and pleasing the powerful people above them who wanted to destroy things. That was a liberating moment.

Another absolute necessity: outlaw the billionaire strategy of dodging taxes by living off of tax-free loans against their stocks/real estate holdings. No more "buy-borrow-die." fortune.com/2026/01/14/w...

What we CAN tell you, is who we absolutely wouldn't support. Newsom is a losing ticket.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats. It's all there. He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players. Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.
