That’s because it’s communist

Tech workers in the most corporate, nerdy, non-union, Northface-wearing-ass environment you can imagine have been putting their jobs, safety, and even immigration status on the line to try to stop a genocide, writes @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

“You don't want to live in a country where the president says: ‘The comedian can't make fun of me.’” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and Bassem Youssef discuss Trump’s assault on free speech after comedian Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for days. Watch the full conversation: zeteo.com/p/israels-su...

Pretty telling when all the press around a technology is forcing you to accept something the general public is reviled by

I struggle to think of an editorial board that's been more overtly racist and genocidal that the NY Times one. This is on the level of Putinist bullshit about denazifying Ukraine.

The controversy surrounding the Riyadh Comedy Festival tells a story that extends far beyond this particular industry. It’s a stand-in for a broader capitulation to autocracy abroad that mirrors the acquiescence to autocracy here at home.

New research shows that ocean acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed. Capitalism is driving ecological catastrophe and will continue to do so until we align production to a new law of value. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

We remember the revolutionary Assata Shakur, who passed away last week in Havana, Cuba at the age of 78.

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Cierta gente parece esperar que nuestro gobierno *encabece* la lucha de nuestro país contra el genocidio y se frustra de que no sea así. Nuestro gobierno, como cualquier otro, lejos de encabezar nada, debe ser forzado a participar, forzado por el movimiento popular. Es ese al que tenemos que ganar.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

Just incredible cowardice from Google all over the place www.theverge.com/news/789152/...

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

“The time of…Benjamin Netanyahu coming to this city and then making military decisions from this city to kill civilians…has to come to an end.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social asks Zohran Mamdani if he would hold to his promise if elected mayor to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Tal cual

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

The title of this newsletter is a perfect encapsulation of things.

Pero con el gobierno demócrata de Biden al menos tenían a una mujer negra votando en contra de detener un genocidio

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

No "third world" dictador has a statue bigger than that of Stone Mountain, Georgia, for the confederate Leaders, completed in 1972.

Este vídeo lo ha publicado la cuenta de Tuiterl de "Global Sumud Flotilla Commentary". Y me ha emocionado mucho porque lo que escucháis son unas "panaderas", una canción típica de Zamora y Salamanca 😍 (y quizá más provincias)

Why is it always this flowery prose when it comes to having nice polite chats with nazis, but then rabid howling when someone asks you to show the same attitude toward anyone even a millimeter to your left?

That's the way to do it! 💪 #MarxistMonday

Y, por fin, la Presidenta de México lo dijo: GENOCIDIO. 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

you did the meme!

Dato curioso sobre el KKK: el primer Klan se fundó en 1865 justo al final de la Guerra Civil, pero su 2.ª iteración surgió en la década de 1910 y fue impulsada por la película de propaganda, The Birth of a Nation (1915), el 1° blockbuster de EEUU y la 1.ª cinta proyectada dentro de la Casa Blanca.

Cosas que no sabía y que me quedaron claro sólo cuando me puse a estudiar la historia de la extrema derecha de los años 1920s y 1930s: 1. Hasta la qué punto los regímenes autoritarios de extrema derecha eran la norma en Europa.

If you're an IDF soldier who has murdered Palestinian children you're allowed to enter Canada on vacation. If you're a musician who opposes genocide you're banned

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Will wait for all those people who said they’d support the LA resistance if only they waved American flags to follow up

Un caso más del mercado "regulándose solo"

Muy lúcido y atinado el análisis de @campa.bsky.social

Gran resumen de la guerra civil y el genocidio en Sudán. Como casi todos los conflictos en el continente africano, tiene su origen en la colonización.

As a society, the one thing we were totally unprepared for was annoying leftists being right.

I cannot stress this enough: do not use email for organizing. Set strict retention so emails delete after a short period of time. Assume every Big Tech company will rat you out to the gestapo without lifting a finger to protect your rights theintercept.com/2025/09/16/g...

“Klein’s interest here isn’t honesty but flattery. It shows Klein isn’t writing about Kirk at all. He’s writing about himself and saying, ‘I’m doing politics the right way because I’m lauding someone who disagrees with me.’”

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

The Washington Post has fired its last full-time Black opinion columnist, who says it was because they didn’t like what she posted after Charlie Kirk’s shooting. trib.al/5ayiHPo
