This book, and 'Workshops of Empire' to start with.

It's always the right moment to slip in the fact that "apolitical" art is a Cold War emanation for the purpose of counteracting Agitprop. So even art stripped of overt political messaging is itself political.

How comfortable and ignorant do you have to be to say “art shouldn’t be political” with a straight face As if that in itself is not a political statement

Being neutral between fascism & democracy, is actually supporting fascism.

I must question if these defense contractors are reliable partners for the US. CEO fantasizes about spraying fentanyl-laced piss on analysts. Founder defends illegal boat strikes because they're "masculine." Not to mention all the things Peter Thiel is up to. The right people for long-term trust?

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on EPA “How the f**k are they gonna do it? If you can get the Court to rule carbon is not a public health danger, it'll mark the point at which they've abandoned all pretense, bc that’s just a flat out lie” www.publicnotice.co/p/david-robe...

I just submitted "Law & Beaver" to NEW YORK INDIE SHORTS AWARDS via FilmFreeway.com! Wooo! 🎥⚖️&🦫

Are you anxious or are you simply correctly assessing the numerous threats

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

THE GERMANS KNOW ALL ABOUT THE PLAGUE, THE ORANGE PLAGUE.......👇

If ice wasn’t terrorizing their communities they would not have to wear masks. Their police do not have to wear mask. If ice treated people respectfully and lawfully they would not have to hide their faces.

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “It’s important to remember there’s more of us than them — every one of us can be sand in the gears of an injustice.”

How come a sitting president can sue an individual, but an individual cannot sue a sitting president?

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

I’m not legal, but if crimes were committed on a property wouldn’t a warrant allow CSI to go on the property to investigate? Could NM state laws be applied to obtain that warrant? Things stated in Epstein Files pertaining to Zorro Ranch be enough to obtain a warrant? #epsteinfiles

Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government. This is a way to disenfranchise the poor. Call your senators.

More white nationalism from the guy we’re letting poison Memphis and drill a hole in Nashville

None of this is normal

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

An alcoholic head of the Pentagon is shooting at random flying objects near airports using untested technology. Americans have nothing to worry about.

Jeffries: "The Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures has been part of our fabric since the very beginning of our constitutional republic. It's incredible to us that Republicans have decided to draw a hard line in the sand. Judicial warrants should be required."

We wanted to understand how mRNA vaccines work. So we talked to three cocaine addicts in a gas station bathroom off Route 6.

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot? What is his title? What is his job? What is his official position in the US government? If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

I don’t always feel violent but when I do it’s listening to Pam Bondi lie, while she’s on her knees sucking off Democracy like Don Jr on a crack pipe

Hey, Propaganda Barbie: We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up. Ever.

Legendary ability for Delusions of Grandeur.

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

Me at home, “The beer in this place is terrible!”

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Yes, Trump has turned the United States into a kleptocratic police state. But lib wine moms sound so cringe when they point this out. I have never felt more politically homeless.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

The SAVE Act isn’t about “election integrity” - it’s about maybe saving politicians from getting voted out by changing the rules right before midterms and making it more difficult to vote. MEGA isn’t about democracy; it pushes us closer to authoritarian, fascist-style control. #FDT #StateRights

Trump’s name appears more than a million times in the unredacted version of the latest Epstein release. Trump, who claims the files are a “hoax,” initially featured 5,300 times in the redacted version. This was only half of the 6 million documents DOJ reviewed, prompting renewed fears of cover-up.

This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors. You can see this file on DOJ’s website www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
