THIS IS 22 YEARS OLD ("Hacker Manifesto" Wark, 2004 [032])

this will keep getting worse until either cops or the media turn

Bears vs. Trail cameras

No, we need to shut down the companies that generate them, destroy the industry, and salt the earth.

i do genuinely think we need to jail every single person currently working for ICE

Just as an aside, since Governor Walz is still framing this as a problem of "violent untrained officers", this is the kind of training that many PD's offer to their officers. It's called "Killology". www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETf7...

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

We had 50K people downtown yesterday, no ICE and zero incidents. ICE is the fucking problem.

2a absolutists oddly quiet in the face of actual tyranny

Abolition is the only way.

Threads has so much juice, it's where Padma Lakshmi calls Chuck Schumer a lil bitch

And now for me next trick i will get a permanent job by the time my next postdoc is over

Also weird for the Trumpers to quote Trotsky. "Dustbin of history." I smell lurking Marxism! We must investigate! Send in ICE to shut down DOJ!

In 1979 United Nuclear spilled 94 million gallons of radioactive water into the Puerco river, contaminating the water of the entire Navajo Nation. The state governor refused disaster aid. In 2007 the water was still highly contaminated.

Theoretically, a Canadian government that wanted to shield people from the crisis could place serious price controls on groceries, rent, transportation and energy. It could commit to real public health programs in the face of viral chaos down south. It could re-invest in community programs/services.

I keep reflecting on the surrealness of Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, invoking an anti-communist essay by Vaclav Havel to declare at Davos that the American-led neoliberal capitalist world order is a “lie”

Et parce que bien souvent dans les CRA, les ados à partir de 16 ans sont mis avec les adultes. Certains parents obtiennent que leur enfant reste avec eux la journée mais ne peuvent le garder la nuit

Maynard Dixon (1875-1946)

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Lamdan is now in the Office of Intellectual Freedom at @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social

has anyone written about the way people who are into "buy it for life" gear are coping with alienation (in a marxist sense) in their own workplace by fetishizing someone else's craft
