The devil is always in the details. This detail is a little devil. This "board of peace" will likely sell off Gaza assets to wealthy developers for cheap. Or something else that doesn't benefit Palestinians. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

If you want to know one source for where the drive to violence is coming from, look no further than Jesse Watters. He might as well give the next shooter a gun.

In "End Times", Peter Turchin speaks of the rise of political violence when you have gross wealth inequality, an immiserated public and fighting between the elites and counter elites. Historically this leads to a disintegration of societies. We are deep in this cycle in America.

Much like the Democratic party in the United States, political parties around the world are selling out to private capital. @graceblakeley.substack.com highlights the UK Labour party selling out the working class. substack.com/@graceblakel...

Really clear chart showing what I think many people feel - climate disasters are accelerating while we fail to act decisively

Very true

EX GREEN BERET: “In my entire career, I never witnessed the brutality and use of indiscriminate & unnecessary force against an unarmed, starving civilian population until I was in Gaza at the hands of IDF & US contractors… without question, war crimes.”

This--that Signal would rather exit a market than undermine the core security and privacy technology that protects the people who use Signal--always still holds. We don't change our principles based on jurisdiction, legislative attack, or time of day...

Ok. Fine. I finally accept that we are living in a simulation.

"Equity-washing" is the story private equity tells to align a worker's loyalty with an investor's short-term profit motive. It offers the feeling of ownership to motivate the workforce. A bonus for workers, while the temporary owners keep the long-term wealth. www.delta-fund.org/post/equity-...

FWIW Hogg is right and we need to reboot the Democratic party - which by necessity requires replacing current ineffective Dems with new candidates who can lead with policies that actually help Americans

Greta Thunberg announces she and her shipmates have been kidnapped by Israeli forces presumably for the crime of delivering aid to Palestinian residents.

Tax deductions for charitable contributions aren't a good deal for the tax payer with how our system works today www.delta-fund.org/post/the-gen...

A slow coup is underway—tech billionaires aiming to centralize power. Neoliberalism bred the crisis. Authoritarianism is their answer. Ours must be dignity, equity, and sustainability. Who’s with me? #postneoliberal #collectiveaction

Peter Turchin's research team built a database of hundreds of societies across 10,000 years to try to find out what causes deep political crises. There are two clear drivers: The first is popular immiseration—when the economic fortunes of broad swaths of a population decline.

Facebook now doing what they wanted to do all along

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

“Our client, who was in the middle of seeking asylum, just disappeared.” Lindsay Toczylowski represents 31-year-old Andry, a gay makeup artist from Venezuela who was flown to a notorious prison by the Trump administration after seeking asylum in the U.S. MORE: www.cbsnews.com/news/venezue...

Two crown tattoos were the only evidence the government presented in Andry’s asylum case before he was sent to a Salvadoran prison. Immigration authorities suspected the tattoo was gang-related, but his lawyer says his parents’ names are below the crowns, and they honor his mom and dad.

Please pay attention to what is happening. These authoritarian acts must not be tolerated or ignored.

People don't understand how broadly signal is used in the United States government for the explicit reason that messages can be set to disappear and leave no lasting record for the public. So many shocking details in this story.

This. Message. Is. Working. Time to throw out the Dem leadership that since Bill Clinton focused on Wall Street instead of the working class. Time to elevate leaders who can return the party to a pro-worker party.

This is an excellent article on Careless People - well with the read

I just finished Careless People and it rings true to me. I didn't work in these policy areas but I did work with many of the people and the descriptions of them resonate. I learned new details of things I saw at the company that were worse than I expected.

The fact that this is happening in America is appalling. Read the article and take to heart Jasmine's words that others have it worse. This isn't the America we should want.

WIRED gives me hope that journalism can serve the public well again. This is a great move that others should follow. And subscribe - I have and found incredibly valuable

This is a really important statement from one of the co-founders of Meta (Facebook when he co-founded it)

This is... Unbelievable. Another clear autocratic step.

The pre Civil war south is a good example of an economic zone that didn't have labor or environmental regulations.

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

As a former VP at Meta I can confirm that the leadership are indeed careless people. I look forward to reading this book. From what I have read in coverage, the disregard for real world harms and trading growth opportunities against human rights rings true. I'll let you know more when I've read it.

I use Signal every day. This is a great guide to the app - give it a try. www.wired.com/story/signal...

So @graceblakeley.bsky.social - this a good example of US government and corporations working closely together?

The party of performative action

This guy gets it

Nothing about actually creating policies to improve wages... Just better words to talk about them. And reading between the lines leaning into corporate takeover of America (which our research shows people don't like)

Many Americans, deeply frustrated with a government that has failed to deliver for them, have indicated for years that they wanted to burn the system down. They are getting their wish and the consequences are dire. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

With this administration the world is simply more dangerous
