This is your ongoing reminder that anti-migrant (“illegals”) and anti-trans politics (“gender ideology”) are current anchors of several authoritarian governments. People who tolerate, even selectively, such politics are facilitating the rise of fascism. This is why solidarity is key to oppose this.

In Deutschland können seit Tagen 1000e Schüler_innen nicht regulär ihren Unterricht bestreiten, weil sie und ihre Schulen von Rechtsextremen bedroht werden. Das läuft einfach so nebenbei. Das ist Terror. Auch wenn (hoffentlich!) Niemand körperlich zu Schaden kommt, so wird der Alltag unterbrochen.

The fact that this monster can say shit like this and no one in the Euro-American governments say a word is a lasting stain on all our consciences.

If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

"It is a world in decline with climate breakdown baked in from past emissions and leaders driving us on a suicidal trajectory. The one hope they point to is the contradictions in the capitalist system itself." brooklynrail.org/2025/04/fiel...

There isn't a single country, other than Israel, where the majority of citizens aren't opposed to the genocide of Palestinians, but not one government represents the voice of the people. This is what happens when you never vote for someone who represents your values because you must prevent "worse"

Israel just committed the largest child massacre in its history, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

Tesla is in big trouble. Sales are plummeting and consumers are boycotting the brand as Elon Musk champions far-right politics. But the CEO’s reputation isn’t the only problem. He’s also made a series of bad business decisions that are coming back to haunt the automaker.

ErinReed [con't.] -- Germany, Switzerland & Austria join Spain & France in backing affirmation of trans teens' medical care & undermining the TERF/NYT/Atlantic argument that "Europe is pulling back" & our professional medical orgs are "out of touch." [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

While I was on my Fulbright in Kyrgyzstan last year, I discovered a ton of amazing disco/funk music from Central Asia. Here's a small mix I made with some gems from Central Asia, interspersed with a smattering Turkish, Levantine and Chinese songs soundcloud.com/yaxshiyan/ja...

Effective altruism is a philosophical project where you make up reasons why rich people paying you to write about AI has more utility than solving world hunger.

You may have heard of John Cage's "silent" piece "4'33", but did you know he made and performed a version that involved setting up an auditorium sound-system to being right on the edge of feedback and letting it sit there for the duration of the performance?

"If white men cannot own democracy, there will be no democracy. If white men cannot own the planet, there will be no planet". Wendy Brown, In the Ruins of Neoliberalism.These are times of a "dethroned" subject striking back, seeking to restore supremacy & choosing to burn it all down over equality.

This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Re universities' AI policies and student work: allowing essays to be "structured" with Chat GPT help and also writing "edits" is abdicating the very value of university-level education itself. these two elements are the hardest parts honing critical thinking and the difficult work of writing

This is a bit fucking rich coming from The Guardian. The very paper that shoved transphobia down our throats for years in the interests of "balance" and "hearing from all sides" is now pretending that they were never part of that moral panic and they saw through it immediately. Yeah...right.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place advait.org/files/lee_20...

📌 Great post by @adamtooze.bsky.social i hadnt seen before. And as ecological stability goes, infrastructure as a tool that continues to enable the accumulation of wealth and power will grow (even) more important.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Effective Altruism was Effective Sociopathy. It was a gloss on selfishness that presumed the existence of benevolent, omniscient billionaires who could do cost/benefit analysis encompassing the entire future of humanity. Funny how the math always worked out to "keep the money for later use."
