I’m thinking that I want to just diminish and go into the west, to Valinor with the Elves. By that I mean, making my primary online presence my blog.

Musk represents the horrors of colonialism, burnished with a new tech-friendly veneer, encouraging the elite to burn thoughtlessly through resources and credibility because there is always another frontier that will free them from the consequences of their actions through noble subjugation

Musk represents antihumanism in its most naked and stupid form, indoctrinating countless millions into the idea that humans are worthless wastes of resources that can and should be replaced by technology, despite all of the evidence that this isn't remotely true and would create dystopia if it were

Musk represents elite impunity, not only doing great harm himself but increasingly encouraging other elites to do even more harm. Musk represents a profound perversion of market theory, directing resources from opportunities to improve our future to an endless quagmire of fraud.

"It's true that the feds are denying us access to the investigative file. It's also true that there's no statue of limitations on murder."

This reminds me of one of my favorite stories. During a Javelin Thrust in Yuma one year, we brought two Navajo Code Talkers out to talk to the comm Marines about doing the job in WW2, get a brief on modern comm gear, and so we could ensure we still had Marines who could say they shook their hands.

at my county town hall two days ago, the two latino legislators who organized it told the crowd to attack every democrat who does not rise to the moment, to be peaceful but prepare for violence from our own government, and that it is better to fight the fascists than let them dissolve our democracy

The grimness of US history should encourage us. Yes, people used to send lynching postcards. And other people saw that, worked towards building a more just society anyway, and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagination. There's more work to be done. What's our excuse for choosing despair instead?

one thing the situation in minneapolis has demonstrated is that a lot of fuckin cool people live there.

Un jour il faudra se demander pourquoi on traite avec justesse le cas d'une police surpuissante, violente, ultramilitarisée, mal recrutée, gangrénée par l'extrême droite, dont l'impunité semble organisée qui souvent tue... quand c'est américain et moins quand c'est, par exemple, français.

🚨 Palestinian doctor Izzeddin Shaheen reports a deadly respiratory outbreak in the Gaza Strip. Young people with no prior illness are dying suddenly from severe breathing complications. All ICU beds are full as shortages worsen under Israel’s blockade.

wow just woke up from a nap, i guess everyone else on Air Force One realized we aren't going to the right place

Chat, is this bad

Le nombre – provisoire – de morts est en soi absolument effroyable. Mais je ne suis pas sûr que l'on se rende pleinement compte de ce que représentent 330 000 blessé·e·s, et de ce que cela dit de la monstruosité terrifiante et inédite de la répression du mouvement par le régime. #Iran

This is so grim. Science isn’t just something nerds do, but the foundation of the modern world. What the Trump regime has done to US science will harm Americans for generations.

"Nul besoin d’être Trump ou Poutine pour voir dans l’UE un symbole de décadence.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/
