"The command to subdue the earth and subdue women’s bodies is the same command. It is the desire to control all life-giving forces."

These are deeply ingrained social structures and nobody is immune to accidentally upholding. Because we were raised within them. Sometimes it's just a subconscious thing. Sometimes people don't even know why they are doing it. But I want us to identify it so we can all do better.

I need to mention this. White leftists also often struggle similarly when you ask them to add race into their analysis. They often would rather fucking not in fact & get all defensive and treat that as divisive. Male leftists do it to women. Straight leftists to queer leftists. Abled to disabled.

A new lawsuit accuses the administration of violating the First Amendment by threatening the visas of researchers for work on disinformation and content moderation of social media. n.pr/4be42ye

For the Epstein survivors, the recent release of files has been both vindicating & re-traumatising. They feel validated on some levels, but central figures were concealed & survivors’ names left unredacted. This tenacious journalist says, "They are very angry that the cover-up is so brazen."

An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. ICE has bought access to similar tools. www.404media.co/cbp-tapped-i...

Currently reading/writing about women's roles in the pre-industrial textile industry and if one more author refers to spinning as "low-skilled" I'm going to scream. Having tried to learn aspects of ancient manufacture, I can comfortably say that dyeing (male trade) is far, FAR easier than spinning.

…we will find ourselves living not in a nation but in a consortium of industries, and wholly unintelligible to ourselves except for what we see as through a screen darkly.” - Toni Morrison

She spoke as an oracle: “When our fears have all been serialized, our creativity censured, our ideas "market- placed," or rights sold, our intelligence sloganized, our strength downsized, our privacy auctioned; when the theatricality, the entertainment value, the marketing of life is com- plete…

I’m a therapist who has worked a lot with psychosis in the past, And who now focuses on building community care models And figuring out how to pull your friends out of AI psychosis should in no way be a task that tech billionaires should be able to assign to communities

There is no "escape hatch," no "offramp," no "social media migration" that will enable you to find a place free of sin. There will never be a "purely good" social media platform because we live in the WORST capitalist dystopia and our digital environments are continuous with that hellscape.

Lets put it this way: The dream study groups I facilitate are absolutely sharing “political collapse” nightmares I’m getting a significant uptick in people sending me their fascist climate collapse nightmares - a loose indicator of our collective mental health Poly-crisis collapse dreams

we're constantly reeling but maybe not taking this seriously enough 😣

And it's a final short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's local urgent needs, two women needing help via Venmo, and a single mama in a bad sitch with harder help to get:

Damn. Really that is just it. And a lot of ruthlessness.

Healthy grief is spiritual and political practice breathe and wonder what it means for you, in this moment, with all that is facing crisis and destruction with the time and resources you have to honor this young man’s life It may be a moment to close your eyes and commit to whatever your work is

this speaks my mind. 🤯

Only being able to buy gas on certain days of the week based on the first character on your license plate.

“If democracy is not simply a constitutional arrangement but a lived experience of shared fate, ethical commitments, and civic presence, then millions of Americans have very clearly not lived in one for decades. And if your neighbors are not living in democracy, then neither are you.”

Here’s what: I am anti-atrocity, anti-atrocity, anti-US wars of aggression, anti-genocide anti-extrajudicial killings and have been my whole life I’m absolutely doing what I am capable of doing Such pronouncements are the least worthwhile use of my energies.

And here are free resources on a low conflict community support model

I offer all my groups & workshops on a pay-what-you-can by donation basis:

Dream of meeting friends at an outdoor cafe. Two ICE agents approach me, one grabs me from behind, places a baton under my chin, and lifts me off my feet, choking. He grinds his pelvis into my backside as I kick to get away. He demands a plastic bag with a device in it, I point at it - not mine

People imagine that power is domination and destruction. The deepest power is continuous creation - All people of all genders who are birthing and building and overflowing making and creating are far more powerful and have more endurance than forces of destruction Keep birthing & begetting

As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.

Also: I think therapy as a profession over-marketed itself and unwittingly promoted the hyper-internalization & hyper-individualization of many global, collective and community problems. Here is the deal: we don’t have to keep perpetuating this imbalance & harm I facilitate spaces focused on this

Battle of Fates is so my jam.

THIS We're having a problem with this locally, and everyone yaps constantly about "mental health." It's not an indicator of poor mental health when your world has collapsed and there is NOTHING to help. Therapy doesn't house people being thrown out into the street.

Its it possible Mullin will be less bad? “He knows that tribes are sovereign governments, and he's treated us with respect. And so I think that is beneficial to Indian country to have that kind of leadership replace Secretary Noem.”

Maybe read about this country's genocides of Indigenous peoples [who were trying to HELP them] and its DNA-deep commitment to genocidal colonial white supremacy and chattel slavery. Because this was entirely predictable, and without a real reckoning [never gonna happen], the only possible outcome.

All of this is just profoundly evil.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

The Supreme Court is not a secret tribunal. It has an obligation to publicly explain its reasoning, especially on high-profile cases that involve the rights of large numbers of people or fundamental issues of democratic governance. bit.ly/4cybln3

Over 1,400 people in six countries have been killed in an illegal war of aggression and Trump’s opposition here at home is talking about suspending gas taxes.

A 6,000-year-old city that’s home to 9 million people is on fire because our leaders don’t give one shit about the laws of armed conflict.
