I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

@bluesky moderation is suspending people for posting Kirk's own words which tells you everything you need to know.

"I don’t know why Newsom, who wants to be president, is willing to be the governor who saw essential transit services collapse on his watch," writes Tim Redmond.

National Guard members in DC don't seem to be doing much. According to residents, groups of bored soldiers appear to wander aimlessly around the city like tourists, taking selfies at national monuments and enjoying local dining.

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s private school and construction are not welcome by their Crescent Park, Palo Alto neighbors

I can't take any "fascism experts" seriously who spent the past 2 decades ragging on abolitionists who said plainly that fascism was both already embedded in the criminal punishment system AND that criminalization is the fuel for fascism.

"A new era of accountability," as the mayor calls it. Does government surveillance housed in a billionaire's offices make anyone else nervous?

"...abolition both as a horizon of freedom, dignity, and care for which to aim, ... and as an evolving practice for moving there together. In the context of immigration, abolitionism means we’re not advocating for nicer detention spaces, or for immigrants to have ankle monitors."

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Talking to some congressional insiders, it does sound like Democratic electeds, especially Senate, are incredibly opposed to working not only on weekends, but on Fridays. A massive energy disconnect between the base and electeds, and sad to see during authoritarian consolidation

Not a word about this from Democratic leaders today

[1 of 2] @erinmcel.bsky.social's Silicon Valley Imperialism changed my #worldview recently...Quoting distinguished Associate Professor at UC berkeley, Eric Stanley @stillhere415.bsky.social and then articulating their own take on #publicspace users, who in our enjoyment of "artisanal picnics"...

Paul Dama left Nigeria after being kidnapped in 2018. His detention by ICE now feels like “a second kidnapping,” says his sister. “I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

ICE is trying to entice recruits with signing bonuses of up to $50,000 and student loan forgiveness of up to $60,000, as the administration restricts student loan forgiveness for other government employees.

Speaking of serious journalism, its the likes of Teen Vogue, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair that are doing serious journalism on Silicon Valley because other so-called serious news outlets are doing a press-releases-as-journalism service to maintain their access. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

John Gast’s 1872 painting “American Progress” isn't very good, but nevertheless, this heavy-handed representation of Manifest Destiny has found its way onto the Department of Homeland Security's social media pages under the caption “A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending.”

International students should go elsewhere for the foreseeable future. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Personal voices make a difference. Chloe Dzubilo’s diaristic works on paper dissolve the distance between life and art and present viewers with her everyday experiences of discrimination, disenfranchisement, and living with AIDS.

the 4 books that I wanna finish the most rn, have started each of these to varying degrees (have made way much more progress with captive genders than the rest, im about 200 pages in/halfway done)

IT’S FUCKING CHESS What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.
