Enjoying the woke wars? I was on @thedigradio.bsky.social with @danieldenvir.bsky.social, @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, and @keeanga.bsky.social to think on MAGA racism, identity politics, liberalism, and the anti-woke left. We aren’t really having any of it. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/woke...

New: All 50 states have now introduced right to repair legislation. A really amazing milestone for a grassroots movement. Wisconsin just became the last state to do it: www.404media.co/all-50-state...

BREAKING: The SEC has dropped its enforcement case against Coinbase. Coinbase spent $46 million to influence the outcome of the election. Now they're already getting their payoff.

If you have Democrat congresspeople, even if you like their politics generally, it is worth going to these events. Even better, organize friends or comrades to go with you. We need to be scaring those with bad or iffy politics, and it will give courage to the handful of good ones.

One Tea Party tactic that was extremely effective was showing up at town hall events and yelling at politicians. It scared the heck out of Democrats. Big money-backed Tea Party groups sought to encourage this behavior. Liberals and progressives should take note.

So Netflix cancelled the Unchained (the Tour de France series) which is such a massive bummer because I was loving the ‘never had an interest in the TdF’ friends suddenly getting interested and coming to me with questions. It was great! And right now, cycling is the perfect sport to get into…

Most of us are three bad months away from being homeless. None of us are three good months away from being billionaires. I know whose side I’m on.

Thoroughly enjoying the memes from yesterday's Algarve finish... This one is from Intermarché-Wanty's socials...

The President of the United States has referred to disabled people as "a dire threat to the American people and our way of life. Why? Because we "do not qualify for the military" and "harm the country, the economy, and the security of the United States" www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

why are neuronormative white people so anxious about people's gender?

That’s enough positive response for me to have outlined a script for this.

Let’s see what motivates this guy to join DOG…oh

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

Why is Europe declining ever so fast? Here is the gist of it - that it takes no more than 3 mins to explain is the saddest part... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl51...

They’re aim is nothing short of utterly destroying public health in America.

This is definitely what I want from an opposition party.

It's just extremely clear by now that being a billionaire turns you into a fascist and that fascist billionaires will use their money to promote more fascism. Any system that allows billionaires to exist will go this way.

Macron has an even lower approval than Scholz. Quite the achievement…

When liberals think they’re leftists 😂

Non Compete isn’t on here but this video is great and worth considering. EJ has really been on another level lately. You can see the benefits of their immersion into dialectical materialism youtu.be/jY39bLiqZEM?...

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

This is a great video. Although I disagree with the end of capitalism line that technofeudalism demands, there are a lot of great points. I’d recommend considering colonialism, monopolies and Aimé Césaire’s boomerang effect concept. Like Uncommon Wealth is a great book in combination with Varoufakis

1. It is so improbable Dems could win enough congressional power in 2026 to do more than they did in 2019: symbolism. 2. The speed Trump 2.0 is unfolding makes ‘26 an eternity away. 3. Most importantly: when was the last time Democrats actually reversed the damage of Republicans since 1980s?!

Absolutely wild.

Il est faux d'affirmer qu'il n'y a eu aucun movement similaire dans d'autres pays. Il y a eu des départs organisés, assez importants, en Autriche. Et en Allemagne, beaucoup d'universités et de centres de recherches ont fait un départ commun. #eXit #WissXit #HelloQuitteX

Remember when I suggested Lutheran Community Services as a place to donate to help refugees? They’re in this list. Of course they are. BECAUSE THEY HELP PEOPLE.

Frustrated there's not more I can do directly, but for now I can just try to document reality. Elon is bringing his Twitter destruction playbook to the US government, and it's impossible to explain just how serious and bad this is. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/31/e...

Ppl are praising this framing but it still prioritizes what parents of disabled ppl want rather than what disabled ppl want for themselves. Nothing went "wrong" w/ autistic children & autistic adults have told you so. If you are praising this, you're required to go buy Eric Michael Garcia's book

This all sucks and we should be mad but we gotta remember to be mad at the party that emailed and texted us asking for money for four years that did absolutely nothing to fight against Trumpism, and that now will sit by and enjoy their job stability while the world burns.

So the WaPo thinks the Manhattan Institute is “center right”? It’s a small detail in a bigger story but here we are

A study of more than 30,000 British adults diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, found that, on average, they were dying earlier than their counterparts in the general population — around seven years earlier for men, and around nine for women.

If you haven’t watched Adam Curtis’ Hypernormalization, now is the time my friends.

Yes. Caring for the immigrant/alien/traveler/wanderer is foundational to the social ethic of the old and new testaments.

i'm autistic and I don't give nazi salutes i know this is hard to understand

Elon Musk has called to defund wikipedia because there is a section on his Nazi saluting on his page there. Today I am going to donate to wikipedia for the first time.

My vacation reading while drinking good local Vietnamese coffee. It’s a very good read. China Miéville does a critical good faith exploration of the Manifesto.
