billionaires are CATEGORICALLY people who are comfortable making selfish, cutthroat, cruel decisions for personal gain and to the detriment of functional society. i do not recognize the legitimacy of their demands and i will have nothing to do with them 🤷♀️

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

The authoritarian inversion of language and reality is accelerating. freedom of speech being redefined as a right to spout fascist lies and stochastic propaganda while defining pro democratic speech as “authoritarian and dangerous speech” is part of the ongoing process and the machinery of fascism.

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

Finally found the ICE video that I fully could not watch and it was the man having the seizure while they pulled a child from his arms. Countries are fake, borders are fake, nothing can justify this inhumanity. It’s all just for the abstract comfort of withering country clubbers and their pawns.

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

My Platner take is he got the tattoo because he existed in a social structure where it was normal and there were no negative consequences for doing so. He knew what it was and it speaks to a lack of strength of character that we don't need in yet another senator.

It's really sad that entertainment overall has become a landlord economy. The people who own the platforms make the money. The people who provide the labor make crumbs in comparison.

I’m happy no one got arrested but when they consider it a real threat to power there will be arrests so it’s important not to judge the success of a protest by the lack of arrests

this is what happens when the country spends 40 yrs glorifying manufacturing jobs, which, let’s be fair, are shit jobs. it’s loud, repetitive, dangerous. the only reason any american would work them before is they paid well without a college education. and that’s only because of unions.

Remember when you and your team took advantage of our disdain for the other app to market Bluesky as a safe space for multiple groups, including marginalized ones? What happened to that? I’m curious to know since you’re now silencing people who call you out.

Would they be able to get away with all this if we didnt have to go to work? Do work, rent and bills only exist to produce profit, or is it just as importantly a function of social pacification, punishment and control? Is the economy just about money, or is it also about power?

Gonna say this very very very slowly The main issue with putting your name on a protest list is not whether the government has your name It is you providing information about where you are/will be That is *legally* actionable

You probably failed at "building bridges" if millions of people think that your life's work was destructive and terrible and if your supporters have to threaten people to keep them quiet about said legacy.

the reason rightwingers care so much about the cracker barrel logo change and take it as a personal attack is that most conservatives areas don’t have any actual community and the only semblence of identity these days is based around consumption

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

But—and this is really the thing that kills me about this sort of discourse—the fact that her first desire is not to fix the problem now that it is here, but rather to be let off the hook for helping cause it ... this is what shows me the motives were bad from the start.
