A huge honor to get to write something with my hero @naomiaklein.bsky.social. We wish it was a happier topic, but it's an urgent one. We dove deep into the apocalyptic fervor of the far right to issue a warning about the rise of End Times Fascism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Under America’s “melting pot” rhetoric is a core of violent nativism ready to condemn anyone who’s different or desperate or just brown. For a part of the population, it won’t matter that these detainees have no record. They are the “wretched refuse.” They committed the unforgivable sin of coming.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

"I hope random people who I don't even know how they voted suffer and die" is not the same as revolutionary violence If you think hoping Bob in NC dies is the same as putting say a French ruler in a guillotine you are too ignorant to speak so please stop. Your opinion is literally never needed.

The US ruling class and especially Elon Musk are truly frightened about the prospects of BYD's $10k electric car entering the US market. The Seagull will shit on our entire auto industry, before it has a chance to become competitive.

Centrists groups think getting rid of socialists and anyone who defends workers on “the far left” is the way to bring back voters to the DNC. You can’t make this shit up. Newsflash! WE ARE THE WORKING CLASS! Centrism gave us Trump, twice! www.instagram.com/reel/DGzW7xa...

On Passover, Israel just bombed the Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. The airstrike has destroyed the surgical ward and the ICU’s oxygen generation plant. What level of depravity have we reached?

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

All love to the #FightOligarchy tour, but @gomez.house.gov in LA ain't it. We ALL KNOW how much AIPAC money Gomez takes just to criminalize our students, derail peace, and pour money into genocide instead of our communities. Gomez, you're time is up very soon.
