Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

"Are You on Trump’s List of Domestic Terrorists? There’s No Way to Know. The Trump administration is using NSPM-7 to compile the names of alleged domestic terror groups. It won’t tell us who’s on the list." theintercept.com/2025/11/04/t...

I'm all for the big Democratic victories, but make no mistake, authoritarians crack down hard when they realize their grip on power might be slipping. Celebrate and take joy in the victory, but also be clear-eyed about what's coming.

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social Am I a terrorist now? My research explores the symbolic boundaries between trans women and cis women. The starting point of my paper is that trans women are women ("extremism on gender"?), which apparently now goes against Trump's EO/official US policy ("anti-government"?)

Wow, reddit actually did the right thing and unsuspended my account.

The US has used the labeling of people as "terrorists" as a justification for murder for decades. And Republicans have been increasing labeling trans people and "the left" more broadly as "terrorists." edition.cnn.com/2025/09/15/p...

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Wow. . . Wtaf. I got a temporary 7 day ban for calling Mike Johnson a Nazi fascist on reddit in response to the article below where he complained about people calling them Nazis and fascists. I'll say it here: You're a Nazi fascist, Mike Johnson. & you can't stop us from calling you Nazi fascists.

Thousands of X users have posted about Ali Nasrati, a 30 yr old IT tech for Walmart, claiming he made insensitive comments abt Charlie Kirk. But Nasrati has never posted about Kirk. Now, he's been suspended from work and forced into hiding. I wrote about people being falsely targeted by the right

Everything Trump, MAGA world, and Republicans are doing right now around Charlie Kirk is meant to equate Kirk with the state--flags half mast, censorship of improper speech about him, flying his body on Airforce 2, promised crackdowns/retaliation, Kennedy Center Memorial.

I'm smarter and more educated than Ezra Klein. He only has a BA and graduated high school with only a 2.2 GPA. I finished my BA summa cum laude and now hold a master's degree. Yet, like many white cis dudes, his mediocrity is hailed as brilliance.

I might delete this. It's kind of a time suck and I don't see that I'm getting much out of it that I can't get elsewhere. And I've always loathed the character-limited platforms. It forces everyone to dumb down what they want to say, and it forces you to abandon nuance. I don't know.

My grandpa was a fighter pilot in WW2. He didn't talk about it much with us (he died when I was very young). Presumably he shot down some Nazis. Just so I know, which Nazis are the bad ones now? Only the German ones of yore? Any others?

Another day, another horrific development from the American Nazi administration. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Part of what makes this administration’s behavior and actions such a marked departure from past American administrations is that, previously, one wouldn’t worry about reprisals from one’s own government for one’s words. That is no longer true. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/on-watchin...

Hey, remember when American society largely understood that Nazis were unequivocally bad? I think might re-watch Inglourious Basterds tonight. Or one of these other films. I want to escape to a fantasy where Nazis are bad again, if only temporarily. www.nerdalert.world/post/my-top-...

I’ve witnessed 50-plus years of politics. I lived through the unrest of the 1960s and 70s. I wanted to use this week’s Coffee Klatch to provide some context for this dangerous moment we’re facing right now. https://youtu.be/CVs1QmWYFmE

Wow! What an ending to s03 of Foundation! Q's remain, tho: SPOILERS I know it looked cool, but why did Gaal make that stunning exit? I know she was shot and prob needed med care asap, but still. Maybe I missed it, but where is she off to in a hurry? Did the Mule really die? Cuz we didn't see it.

The #GOP is going to keep punching us in the face constantly. If we don't punch back, we're "pussies". If we do punch back, we're the radical left destroying America. They're never going to applaud our restraint or our reaction. We can't behave to please them. We can behave to protect our nation.

Bluesky seems convinced that because I'm trans I must be into anime. I'm not. I keep clicking "show me less posts like this," and it keeps pushing anime stuff.

I gotta say, I didn't have Ezra Klein being a Nazi sympathizer on my 2025 bingo card. I never liked the guy and always thought he was a mediocre hack, but I'm still shocked by his Nazi apologia. If anyone was tricked into buying his Abundance nonsense, I hope they see him (and it) clearly now.

"A few well chosen words with a loved one are worth more than the picture that came with the frame, even if that picture is Olivia Newton-John."

Corporate media bravely continues Charlie Kirk's legacy by committing to destroy the careers of anyone who disagreed with him: www.404media.co/comcast-nbcu...

And then there's my girl Ana Tijoux, who I saw play at Malmö Festivalen two years go. She's so great. 😍 youtu.be/ika0zNUAYv0

I don't speak Spanish (aside from what little I remember from high school), but I'm getting real "fuck the patriarchy" vibes from this video. youtu.be/MInoSo3LEP8

Maybe it's the two Rekorderlig ciders I've had + two shots of swanky, expensive sake (courtesy of my roommate), but I'm really feeling this song right now. The far right are crazy, ya'll. They're out there killing each other, and everyone else suffers for it. Stay safe. youtu.be/BLomikF63fk

The reason why @kamalaharris.com and others will condemn "political violence" against Charlie Kirk but not the trans people (and others) who have been murdered is because Kirk was a millionaire and those trans people were not. Kirk was in her club and we're not. That's all there is to it, folks.

I made a video about the reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death

The 22 year old kid who killed Charlie Kirk appears to be a groyper. In case, you don't know what that is, groypers are far-right White Nationalists, which is what Charlie Kirk was. So Charlie Kirk was killed by one of his own. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers

So he was just like Charlie Kirk then.

Gonna post this for no particular reason. youtu.be/tksolV5Gkso

“No one should experience political violence while trying to incite political violence” is a heck of a political position.

To clutch our pearls because a few people are expressing sentiments Kirk himself would have expressed is a bit much for me. michaelianblack.substack.com/publish/post...

Jfc. . . Build that house of cards higher. It'll never fall!

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

"The President doesn’t care one bit about all those sanctimonious calls for healing. It is not a dialogue about the crisis of political violence in America that he wants right now but an aggressive new policy of political vengeance." www.newyorker.com/news/letter-... archive.is/FIUMz

There's not even any value in condemning that guy's murder, since even if you do, and if you're a Democratic politician, you still face bomb threats. Again, this is what fascism looks like. There's no upside to complying with fascism. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

Someone left of center is murdered: Republicans mock, laugh, celebrate, call for more violence. Vile person on the right is murdered: Republicans demand everyone celebrate him, mourn him, whitewash him, condemn the violence, and demand obedience. This is part of fascism. Don't comply with fascism.

Now might be a good time for folks to check out the book Against Civility: The Hidden Racism in Our Obsession with Civility, if you haven't already. The author notes the history of racism behind calls for civility and calls for civic radicalism instead. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645827...

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

Please stop calling it a "political assassination."Charlie Kirk wasn't elected to anything, and calling it that elevates him to something he wasn't. It was not an assassination. It was a murder.
