The differences between Weiss and Pelley are those of degree, not of kind. There are enough degrees to make the differences seem stark, but they are both creatures of the same corrupt system: seeking ābalanceā rather than truth. Was the protestorās chest, bump representative? Of course not.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): š§µ

Completely supported by the research & most social movements' experiences. One blind spot that suffuses contemporary arguments: human resources. Who is doing the work? Are there paid cadres? Church ladies/middle-aged women are overextended/have jobs now.

Anarchist literature is now evidence of terrorism, according to the government. As is wearing black at a protest, carrying a first aid kit, or using Signal. Horrifying stuff is happening, it's happening quickly, and not nearly enough people are paying attention to it.

A reminder to authors: If your book was among the many titles pirated by Anthropic to train their AI, make sure to file your claim by March 30th. Your publisher will be filing, but my publishers tell me that the only way to *ensure* payment is by submitting your own valid claim.

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

To understand the ways that the economy has shifted and how our strike tactics must also shift, we compare the last two general strikes that took place in the USāboth of which, conveniently, occurred in Oakland, Californiaāin 1946 and 2011. The 2011 strike is especially instructive.
