It's hard to process the enormity of what's happening. The postwar consensus can't save us because it's crumbling - it wasn't the natural order of things, just one of those lucky periods of relative stability for 'the West'. The social state came from organised struggle, and we'll fight for it again

You mean running over our trans siblings, specifically trans women and girls, with the bus still didn't save cis women in the end? Shocking.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

USAID was investigating Elon Musk so he shut it down and spread conspiracy theories to justify it. This directly benefits him, and many of our country’s enemies who he does business with. Don’t lose the thread.

Futures, utopias … None of them are “constructive” thinking… they are all white narrative methods to distract from present oppressions and ways of focusing on fighting them. Ways of ignoring the body of work of those who have been fighting from within the oppressed communities…

1/ ❗Really chilling. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge. -Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ -Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

The correct description of what is happening right now in the US: A #coup. A coup by an #oligarch. Coups, when they end, tend to end only one way; as any student of history knows. I do not think this one will last long. #ElonMusk www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-ne...

Thinking about all the kids (like me) who fall under the trans umbrella but not neatly, who will feel the impact of queerphobia and pressure to conform. Some of us decide that we don’t fit in anywhere, even among what is meant to be our community. That kid deserves unequivocal love and support too.
