And we end the week with... more purges of digitally purchased content. 😒 Again, if you want films/TV shows, buy the DVDs/Blurays. Those technically inclined (and with an optical drive/hard drive space) can even rip them to DRM-free video files. kotaku.com/playstation-...

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

No matter how many people are talking about this, it is not enough people talking about this.

#HongKong: We are deeply concerned by reports that a bookshop has been raided and two people arrested for selling “seditious” books, a charge that could lead to 10 years in prison. This is the second bookshop raid this year. They must be released ⬇️ hongkongfp.com/2026/06/25/p...

"Talkin' Bout a Revolution" (Tracy Chapman): An acoustic call to action that asserts the poor and marginalized will eventually rise up to demand their fair share of resources.

Then I guess DEM Reps better threaten to shut down the House if the bill comes to the floor. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social know your power!

one thing led to another and here we are then: www.youtube.com/shorts/yKDKm...

This is really *really* bad. What the fuck?

Everyone who decried us using the word fascism should feel this like a fist to the jaw

Remember all the banks who financed the American concentration camps. They will pretend they just slipped into providing billions to put kids in cages otherwise.

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

It's Bob Fosse's birthday. In his honor, I'm going to blow your mind if you don't already know: this is his snake dance from the Little Prince. In 1974. FWD to 2:30. youtu.be/xXonK8EBqmk

2026 marks 30 years of web archiving — and @internetarchivecanada is celebrating with a public kiosk at @vancouverlibrary.bsky.social where visitors can browse 100,000 archived Canadian websites using a game controller. Digital memory, made accessible. internetarchivecanada.org/2026/06/19/e...

This is horrifying. People getting sentenced to decades in prison for distributing zines, organizing mutual aid efforts, public protest.

Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

30, 50, 70, and 100-year sentences for the Prairieland defendants so far. Dark day, man. Truly.

“Robert Chang, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine school of law and executive director of its Fred T Korematsu Center for Law and Equality, called the verdict ‘frightening’. ‘By this logic, any protest could be a conspiracy,’ he said. ‘The goal posts keep moving.’”

The campaign to kick Kristi Noem out of the country is building momentum. My latest on people power in standing up to the monsters. @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com youtu.be/eqF6WdjjcQQ?...

For all his Captain Canada schtick, Doug Ford has far more in common with Trump than not

Some big news: my book is now available for pre-order 🩷

Mimicking the opening chapters of 1984, Trump's DOJ quietly deleted thousands of press releases about the Jan 6 insurrection. So Lawfare restored them: more than 5,700 pages recovered and publicly archived.

Ozymandias watch: -Airports have three letter codes. LAX ATL ORD, etc -They don't get changed. DC National was re-named for RReagan but remains DCA. -One famous exception: Idlewild, IDL, became JFK in Dec 1963. Now another exception. Palm Beach Internat'l PBI is now DJT. Per Flying magazine:

Ethel Mannin is fed up with Your Art: "When people start thinking in terms of My Art it is high time they put away their pens, etc. and opened up a fried fish shop or went out and weeded the garden."

PM Carney is giving cabinet the power to override laws on illegal pesticides. @mark-carney.bsky.social - the pollinators are not the enemy. The world depends on them. They just don't hire lobbyists. Unlike Monsanto and the others you have drinks with. Do better. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

If you’re having doubts about yourself and your place in the world, remember Baldwin.

This is great. Here's @owenjones.bsky.social basically doing the WKUK bit on TV, but about how in the UK you can't legally say you support the group Palestine Action.

No Toronto Liberal MP should take being reelected for granted. They continue to play this city. Their own TPA is making plans (900m runway), asking for non disclosure agreements and not revealing anything while MPs keep saying they know nothing, they’ll stand up for TO. Just constant emptiness.

I just feel like every person in this country needs to know DHS is now explicitly paying bounties to local cops and sheriffs for each child + teenager they track down on behalf of ICE. While I'm not an attorney, I don't use that language lightly.

I am sitting in the sunshine. Waiting for a cat. The cat does not belong to me. It just visits. We hang out together. So I am sitting in the sunshine. Waiting for a cat. This is what my life has become; and I'm okay with that.

The wealthiest one percent are now responsible for more deaths than all geological hazards combined...

The United States dominated the world's finances because it controlled the "chokepoints" - in currency exchange and trade. It relied as much on trust as on coercion. The trust is gone. The world is looking elsewhere. My latest on the end of the American century. youtu.be/3-mNEYCcrtc?...

Britain's White Lives Matter movement appears to be a coproduction between the Kremlin and the PayPal team of Musk and Thiel. In the pendulum of political fashion Britain is now being offered its “white lives matter” moment, complete with the radicalised selective vision of the Black analogue.

Hundreds of thousands of Albanians have been protesting for over a week to revolt against their corrupt govt as well as criminal slumlord traitor Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka for plotting to seize their land. Americans could learn a thing or two on how it’s done.

This production is high on my time travel wishlist
