In the Network State ideology, social order will be imposed via total surveillance. Curtis Yarvin’s “patchwork” (2008) envisions citizens who must scan into cities and be tracked 24/7. Ellison, along with Yarvin cultists Andreeseen Horowitz, will soon control TikTok. fortune.com/2024/09/17/o...

Yes, but not the beginning. This is Act 2. We only have a few moments to salvage the #ThirdAct. Two radically different visions to choose from. Environmentalists like @billmckibben.bsky.social or The #LeagueOfDictators

I miss the days when the president wasn’t declaring war on our own people.

Being against fascism is now... illegal in the US? The 400 000 Americans that died fighting fascists in WWII must be spinning in their graves. Unless decent Americans stand up now, there won't be an America to take back in 2028, even if Trump allows for an election to even happen.

Now @us.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com joins the white(supremacist)wash, referring to demagogue Kirk as an “organizer,” deliberately appropriating progressive language to soften the image of an ethnonationalist firebrand.

“Fascism is capitalism plus murder.” Happy Birthday #UptonSinclair

A 2024 #UCLA study tracked #TrumpCrimeFamily weaponization of words. #Trump uses violent vocabulary more than any other #USA major party presidential candidate in history, let alone President. The result of such inflammatory rhetoric is political violence. newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucl...

Arizona has a long history of voting rights battles and now, a system glitch is putting over 218,000 eligible voters at risk. One Arizona is meeting this moment head-on. Find out how, by reading the full story: bit.ly/46l1VGG

Finding myself in a reflective mood today, I decided to reread Humberto Eco’s 1995 essay “Ur-Fascism.” Meditating on the definition & essential properties of fascism, Eco identified 14 key features, only one of which is needed “to allow fascism to coagulate around it." It is, perhaps, relevant. 🧵

Everything #Trump does is political violence. Even his speech is precisely crafted to use the most violent language possible.

Worst President to #ABC News: “We’ll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart. Maybe they’ll come after ABC.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

US AG Pam #Bondi, while constantly promoting and defending most violent and bigoted men: “There's free speech and then there's hate speech [...] We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Dept. of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the U.S.

Our illegitimate mafioso on his fourth hand-wavy delay: “We have a group of very big companies that want to buy [ #TikTok ],” #Trump said, adding that he would “hate to see value like that thrown out the window.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

No one had to fall for “free speech for me but not for thee.” It wasn’t especially subtle, and some called it out at the time. But a bunch of people really wanted to fall for it.

🎶 …And the masks, that the monsters wear, to feed upon their prey… 👺 youtu.be/xF4RhDWs2DA song.link/i/1440653108

Mind-boggling that self-labeled “privileged” figures like #Seinfeld feel safe doubling down on genocide in this political climate. Not only does he endorse #Netanyahu regime mass murder, Jerry felt the need to invoke homegrown #USA #genocide. Take snapshots as these monsters lower their masks.

#Seinfeld: By saying “Free Palestine,” you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually – compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, “We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.” OK, that’s honest.

Department of Education being renamed Department of Ignorance

One of the defining experiences of my life, and I think yours, is gradually witnessing the internet degrade from the most sophisticated tool for information distribution in history into a cesspit of misinformation and falsehoods. It's a world-historical tragedy, what's happening to us.

BREAKING: Federal judge in Los Angeles issues preliminary injunction against Department of Homeland Security to restrict use of force against press, legal observers and protesters. Judge in LA Press Club v. Noem calls out "surprising savagery" of DHS officers: "The First Amendment demands better."

Exactly what a Nazi would say.

#RonenBar authorisation for Shin Bet to open two investigations into #Netanyahu aides, including one for allegedly taking payments from #Qatar at the same time that Qatar was partly financing #Hamas in #Gaza, has been widely cited as a motive for his dismissal. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

#Netanyahu adviser Jonatan Urich & spokesperson Eli Feldstein are suspected of taking money from #Qatar, funnelled via a US lobby group. #Trump www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

This is so funny, #Qatar, who bribed #Netanyahu, must now feign indignation, and #Trump must stumble over himself to kiss up to his jumbo-jet benefactors. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

Postering for Progress kicks off September 6 - 7, a two-day race to see who can spread our message the farthest. Here’s how it works:

The Justice Department's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people."

JUST SHUT UP!!!🤬🤬🤬

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

RFK heroins abuse is what you see below. He fidgets. He slouches. He twitches. He cannot respond in stressful situations. The guy proclaiming to make MAHA is a long term, serial heroin user. And it shows. #Pinks #RFK
