Thank you @robmclennan.bsky.social for this thoughtful and resource-rich review of Works & Days! I look forward to digging into the work of some of the other authors you mention.

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

The fascists have assessed that they have nothing to worry about from National Democratic elected politicians. In fact, if they were ever to retake nominal power, many of them will do what they can to destroy their own voters who insist on action against the fascists.

Today, the Supreme Court effectively turned speaking with a Spanish accent into a presumptive crime.

Take notes

The renaming of the Department of Defense as the Department of War is an admission that so little of what the Pentagon does is actually about defense.

Continuous warfare means that any who breach American laws, borders or executive objectives can be treated as enemy combatants: Killed without warning, detained without trial, or renditioned to dark detention sites. This rebranding is a key part of Trump's authoritarian program.

The Trump rebranding of the Defense Department to the Department of War may seem just symbolic, but it's part of a larger campaign to mainstream the notion that America is continuously at war.

Hopefully everyone already knows this, but probably don't upload your license and passport or scan your face to the app that's CEO now owns an A I-powered military drone company.

A truly gorgeous meditation by @prisonculture.bsky.social The seeds of the new world are growing everywhere in the cracks of the old. What are you doing to feed them? What are doing, with others, to help them grow?

Trump is just directly seizing control of the media and corporations are just letting him because it's good for business Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I finished The Sapling Cage recently and loved it. Great to see it shortlisted for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize!

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...
