A lot of us in USA would be well served to recall that when we look back on that era we don't call it Germany With Some Nazis we call it Nazi Germany. We don't distinguish between people who silently disapproved or didn't like it but accepted it. We lump them in with the Nazis. And that is correct.

These ghouls are so afraid of the fact of illness and death. They cannot handle grief, or loss, or the most human kind of pain. They’re cowards from head to toe and should be mocked accordingly.

The actual (and true) conspiracy theory here is the entire mass media is ecosystem coalescing around false anti-trans narratives every chance they can because they are all controlled by a very rich, very Christian, anti-trans lobby.

[watching a progressive lose a House primary by 4 points] let me tell you what this very clearly says about national politics

I'm literally begging the North American car industry to give is these.

If you are finding yourself becoming one of those people who interpolates "Jews " and "Zionists" it is time to get your soul right

I just experienced this in person today from someone I thought I knew pretty well, and i'm still shaken by it. I had never actually heard anyone talk about "the Jews" or say that "Jews control the media" before today, and the total indifference to recent antisemitic violence got me. Tiktok brainrot

It's a shame no one was ever convicted or even tried for the unspeakable things they did to Lumumba. I wish King Leopold got HALF the smoke that Hitler does

Fun fact: democracy can stop capitalism from doing shitty things to us. You love to see it.

This was a great level in Shadowrun.

it's cool when a legal thing happens because lawyers will quote a transcript with HOLY SHIT THE JUDGE BODIED HIM and the transcript will be like "there appear to be irregularities in counsel's filing"

Please stop using ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Grok for legal things. Please. It doesn't make you a good researcher to use them. They destroy the planet. They destroy the Global South. They destroy Black neighborhoods. They destroy water supplies. And they're WRONG.

This is genuinely my favourite thing about getting lawyer-brained at law school. I'll read a footnote that says "Counsel for the plaintiff has mistakenly argued using the American land rights framework" and I'm like "omg that guy has to be in hiding now."

How do white nationalist groups in Canada recruit people to their cause? A new report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows the ways they’ve using otherwise healthy activities — male bonding, fitness, martial arts, time outdoors — as gateways to radicalization. Here’s more:

your last meme saved is your moral philosophy (Accurate)

Thinking back on one of the weirdo convos that happened on here yesterday, I feel like I need to make sure everyone knows that those of us who think EVs are the future of cars are like... not at all married to lithium. We just think batteries are good! We're open to any kind of battery! In fact,

If any Canadian politicians are serious about shutting down political interference (foreign or otherwise) they would support applying PIPEDA or similar privacy standards to federal political parties.

Tiocfaidh ár lá! Happy St. Paddy’s Day my loves! ☘️🇮🇪

Never again, she shouts into the void

I'm saying this not because I want to "I told you so" but because I WANT THE KILLING TO STOP ALL OF IT And I am scared of what happens to us, to humanity, if it doesn't

Hear me out What if a small but not insignificant part of whats wrong w everything is that weve made pissing everyone off a valid career path

THIS IS WHY WE KEEP RESHARING THE PARABLE OF NAZI BAR!! it’s insidious shit how they infiltrate & find those easy to propagandize like i get how some of us sound all tinfoil hat & living in the past or whatever but a grip of these red flags existed less than 15 years ago 😩

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Heyyy everybodyyyy FUCK SUBSTACK

it's time to tap the sign again -- understanding the origins + history of classical antisemitism tropes means that you can be clear on what legitimate critiques of a state you might want to critique might be & what might be promulgating 2000 year-old scapegoating conspiracy theories

This buddy road trip comedy would slap.

Delta swore to its employees and unions that it was not transporting deportees this way.

back at the turn of the millennium, we used to talk about a thing called a "Slate take," which was Slate dot com publishing yet another bad take. it was their thing; no one else could compete. so this is kind of impressive, really. like manu ginóbili suiting up for one more game.

It sure beats the "guess we gotta go to war" thing allied nations used to do.

I was promised 3LOL would be easy or I wouldn't care about it and I have not found that to be the case.

ICE has killed someone new.

(And just to be clear: antisemitism would be wrong if it wasn't being used as a gateway drug, but it almost certainly always is, because that's how intolerance works.)

There is a very real effort to recruit people into antisemitism and to use that to then feed people into white supremacy. PLEASE do not fall into this trap.

Believing women have to tell you their stories to show they matter Using “relatability” as a metric was a way of isolating people in broad daylight And the “2010’s essayists” were openly and conspicuously using abusive racist social engineering across tech and media to get paid monetarily

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

I also flicked on "show large alt icons" so it's easier to notice when I'm about to repost something without alt text.

This app did the thing yet again where it updated itself and turned “Require alt text before posting” off, so if you have that set, go into Settings > Accessibility and turn it back on (and if you don’t have it set, I recommend doing that)

Ultimately, transphobia and reactionary nationalism are rooted in the same attempt to carve out hard borders between types of people, to avoid dealing with the anxiety of fluidity and boundary-crossing.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

“Ashkenazi Jews aren’t really ethnically Jewish” is a surprisingly common talking point among antisemitism from the left. You only really see it there

I only just learned of this woman yesterday but this is thread is….holy shit. People on the left are defending this monster? Y’all really just hate Jews.

it’s ok to enjoy things

7) Cameras play an important copaganda function as we see after police killings and after recent ICE killings of **focusing conversations on individual incidents and bad actors** to get people to stop asking deeper questions about what these systems are doing. That's why Dems also love pushing them.

If a government body of some kind is volunteering to do something it's pretty safe money to assume it won't contribute to accountability and transparency.

fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldn’t be run like businesses. and if you’re going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they don’t want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.
