You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Commentary: "Our task is not to make vulnerable populations more adaptable to injustice, but to make the powerful more accountable for it."

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. Instead, the military service will classify them as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines, which take effect next month. https://wapo.st/4p2HnKY

Never forget that a Democratic US Attorney’s decision to prosecute Aaron Swartz for downloading JSTOR PDFs contributed to his suicide but AI firms’ decision to download everything ever will be a justification for hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer bailouts and legal exemptions.

I think there's also a huge reluctance to acknowledge that Trump stands for a very real, material, active, vision of america. like, it's not just the one guy. it's white supremacist oligarchy. opposing that is in itself an alternative vision.

Virginia Giuffre isn’t here to tell her story anymore, but she wrote a memoir and it’s coming out in October. She deserves to be heard and remembered. #BookSky Details here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/712958...

A good thread on the fall of UChicago. I'd add that they leaned harder into speech panic than perhaps any other major institution. It turns out, if you can believe it, that there were more pressing issues on campus.

Nothing makes more sense than you being a socialist male, trust me. But let me reiterate, no individual enjoyment of LLMs justifies the current project of building ecologically disastrous data centers to fuel their continued speculation. There is no justifiable socialist defense of doing so.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Because here's the story. Kaepernick started targeting Black comic book creatives. He was at San Diego Comic Con last year in artist alley with his "engineer". When they ALL pushed back, he ended up at a Newark charter school fabulizemag.com/black-creati...

This is one of the best things ever.

Y’all remember all the COVID funding that was funneled into police budgets? I do.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

I think people have underestimated the anti-intellectualism of the technofascists as one of the key drivers of the spread of authoritarianism. The clear benefits of the post-1960s expansion of higher ed is being destroyed by the most parsimonious thinkers.

Some people don't feel as close to this as they ought to. Most of us are just a bad break or two away from winding up on the streets, and addiction & mental health crises can affect anyone. They're gutting services and rendering more of us disposable, and there's a carceral disposal system waiting.
