I dunno guys, creating a society which allows our leaders to slaughter millions of people rather than redistribute a little bit of their wealth was probably not a great move

I join all who want Iran to become a flourishing democracy. I join all who want regime change in Iran. I join all who want Gender Apartheid in Iran to end. I join all who want all of this - all of it - without wanton violations of international law & mass civilians casualties.

A fascist administration is following supremacist dogma to scapegoat guest-workers and their families. Maybe the solidarity and bravery amongst protesters in Los Angeles and elsewhere is the start of true mass resistance to the MAGA cult. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/06/13/n...

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

The most popular thing I did on the old site was telling people about my rejections. Failure and rejection is a big part of academic life. It happens to all of us -- well, at least everyone I know. This thread lists mine and is founded on the hope it helps other people cope better with their own.

This lively 1912 discussion of Proudhonian social thought, centered on Bouglé's book The Sociology of Proudhon, is excellent, in my view. As the discussion shows, Bouglé was among the first to bring attention to Proudhon's sociological theories, which had been largely overlooked until this point.

“No matter what a peaceful protestor may intend, it’s police who are deciding when to use violence and whom to use it against—and nothing we saw this weekend indicates their violence was confined to those who were not “peaceful.”” - @melissagiragrant.com newrepublic.com/article/1963...

There is no more concrete a guarantee that an autocrat is doing something wrong than when they start whining about paid, or outside, agitators. Erdogan, Putin, Orban, Mubarak etc have all tried it on for size.

The US is on the verge of martial law. In due course, and if he thinks he will lose them, Trump will suspend the mid-term elections. The excuse, as now, will be the “emergency” of illegal migration, possibly combined with terrorism, drugs or disease. Mark my words.

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.
