A fun Joshua Clover read. slate.com/culture/2015...

One of the first to take Twitter into the realm of narrative creativity, RIP Joshua Clover

Shocked and saddened to learn of Joshua Clover’s death.

Le 27 avril 1871, la Commission du Travail, dirigée par Léo Frankel, publie un décret interdisant les amendes et retenues sur salaire. Ces prélèvements arbitraires étaient une arme aux mains des patrons pour affaiblir la résistance ouvrière. #vivelacommune #vivelasociale #commune1871 #communards

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

keep it up big ten

🤞

This is obscene. I hope USC will do something to support this student.

A top White House official says Jews "deny the existence of objective truth" but tell me more about college campus protests being antisemitic

Almost 10% of the entire Canadian electorate voted on the VERY FIRST DAY of advance polls because we’ve spent the last 3 months watching what happens when you elect a populist windbag who vilifies journalists and shits all over people’s fundamental rights. Thanks America. You really did us a solid.

Well, it took 200 years but France has apologized for forcing #Haitians to pay reparations to their enslavers for the crime of freeing themselves. 🇭🇹🇭🇹 Will they actually pay the money back? I’m not holding my breath! 🗃️ www.nbcnews.com/news/world/f...

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

Oh yes, they were “shocked.”

Or just for Jews?

You are understanding it correctly.

Let me say this again: If a president can illegally deport someone, conspire with that country’s leader to abandon them to human rights abuses, and face no consequences, we are in a hellish authoritarian moment. What a fucking evil, illiberal government this is.

They're building concentration camps for political dissidents

which white, blonde, blue-eyed American citizen needs to be kidnapped and renditioned to El Salvador before the American people understand the threat here?

this photo of a charred haggadah (the book jews use at the passover seder) from governor shapiro’s house breaks my heart. www.thedailybeast.com/pictures-cap...

While his DOJ refuses to comply with not only a judge but SCOTUS in returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Trump is posting videos in real time to his social media site of ICE and active duty Air Force trafficking human beings directly to CECOT where he is being held. This is fascism in 2025, live.

Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Firebombing a Jewish governor‘s house during Passover - Doing a Sieg Hitler salute - Eating dinner with neo-Nazis Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity - Using freedom of speech on campus

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

the thing is people can and do separate products from their CEO’s politics all the time, mostly because the list of CEOs with good politics probably fits on a post-it note but Elon wants Tesla to be a referendum on how we personally feel about him so here’s our verdict: fuck you, asshole, you suck

@jvl.bsky.social has the courage to see what's in front of all our faces & the clarity of prose to lay it all out pellucidly

Democracy?

An example of actual antisemitism, completely ignored by Washington. Such vile hypocrisy.

Closing schools during pandemic = bad, unforgivable, “worse than the Iraq war” - Nate Silver Closing schools because you made the president feel bad = that’s just how politics work

The path toward denaturalizing citizens goes hand-in-hand with undermining birthright citizenship. This is authoritarianism. If legal scholars care about the rule of law, we should not give support under any circumstances these flagrant abuses of human rights. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

these are agencies where he already has a voting majority to do whatever they want this is real scorched earth shit they really are stripping consumer protection, labor rights, environmental protection and corporate oversight down to the studs

lord willing we will one day prosecute miller for crimes against humanity

Precisely.

I was on Social Security Widow and Orphan benefits for twelve years. Was the only thing that kept my family from sinking into destitution. Fuck you Jeanine.

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

Another completely idiotic act.

The consensus grows: "Donald Trump tried to crash the global economy with tariffs. It is hard to grasp just how historically, world-alteringly stupid this is."

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.
