Happy to celebrate #mayday2025 with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social! We start talking about antifascism, which now has to include all types of mutual aid and direct action. What does it mean to meet fascists in the streets when they control every lever of federal government?

@mrs-frazzled.bsky.social ‘s analysis of the recent reinterpretation of civil rights laws (that all schools have to stop DEI activities too): “obeying in advance” is going to be a key problem. I thought there was only a German phrase for this. #vorauseilenderGehorsam

Why are we not pressuring people more to divest from Twitter like Tesla? It's not enough to make a personal choice to leave Twitter you need to ask societies or institutions you are in to leave too. "I'm happy to work with you/speak at your event but not for you to share anything related on X"

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism? Here is an answer: Good Things. Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine. Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it. The more we build community, the less it can take root. 🧵

This is definitely not the most scandalous part of the paper from initial coalition talks (Germany), but why on earth do they consistently say that more digital technology (“Digitalisierung”) will reduce bureaucracy? Have they tried any of these systems recently? #sondierungsgespräche
