#JasmineCrockett is urging Democrats to show up in republican neighbourhoods, rural counties, and talk to people! “There’s so much more that brings us together than separate’s us” Thank you @briantylercohen.bsky.social youtu.be/SNXc7soA1aw?...

Dystopian yet weirdly uplifting! link to the actual film in the text below the video. https://youtu.be/a8WA77vNiUU?feature=shared

Highly praised and award-winning documentary, hard to find where to watch in America releasing.dogwoof.com/no-other-land

Never have the words "Truth" and "freedom" been so Debased for such ends

okay. Before it gets taken down. Check the bearded belly dancers… https://youtu.be/G5HlrkLQWnc?feature=shared

this work os rather good! https://disabilityarts.online/collections/vanitas-for-the-modern-age-richard-butchins/

If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book: Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America. It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight READ IT!

From the USA Good Jobs First subsidy tracker. State subsidies for Tesla go on for page after page after page.

Great overview of what drives the Trump/Musk approach. If you really want to understand why it’s become "fashionable" with many—and why it’s not just "the right"—a must-read (or a must-listen). Comment if you can’t access the page, there are other sources. www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04...

Reality check: World Government Summit - check the comments. Putting things of government into private hands - that key issue! The actual effect (as we're seeing now) differs greatly from the actual effect. People swallow the sales pitch it uncritically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4LOoxK4j4A

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

I met Hanne some years ago and know her work is becoming more needed to overcome the individualistic competition of talking points that block societies from moving forward.

This series will be worth it for the useful background info. Use a VPN oitside the UK or hope they put it up on the BBC World Service https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0kktwvl?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

If you're in the US, you just MUST! find a way of listening to this episode! If you're in the UK, just take some time out for a good laugh about all that shit! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0027lcy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Tyranny DR. TIMOTHY SNYDER, Yale University: THE LOGIC OF DESTRUCTION “…the coup that is going on now … government has… control over trillions of dollars. …a cocreation of the American people. … oligarchs around Trump are working now to take it for themselves."

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

I forgot I made an account here ages ago before the mass exit from the faschosphere! Was put off back then by the poor iPad interface i.e. giant phone… but here again, and on Mastodon too (more neutral standards-based underpinning). Syncing both on my iPad with OpenVibe openvibe.social
