this is a side note but every time I see a (good) explainer like this of early modern witch hunting it makes me wish Federici's sourcing on Caliban And The Witch wasn't just "I made it the fuck up"

Busy day at the Phoenix Capitol today — hundreds of protesters for the No Kings on President’s Day rally, then a few hundred later protesting the “Arizona ICE Act,” a GOP-backed bill that would force police to cooperate with ICE and deputize local law enforcement to act as immigration officers.

“I told them I had two other children.” The Venezuelan mother asked Border Patrol agents if she could go to her house, or if they would take her there for her other two children. “They said, ‘no.’ They said that wasn’t their problem. That was my problem.”

The story of Amazonia keeps expanding. Archaeologists excavating monumental centers in west-central Amazonia believe they held a million or so people in ~150AD. (Story in Portuguese, but Google Translate will give you the gist of it.)

Watch the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee tell what he calls "the real story" of how congress passed the TikTok ban so quickly. Turns out it had more to do with Israel than China. Full video here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/tiktok-ban...

One of the greatest strengths of white supremacy is that it conditions people to believe that white people are incapable of dishonesty So until he literally says "I'm a nazi" people will give him cover and play plausible deniability games. "But he's just trolling! It's a coincidence" etc etc

Resist fascism from the U.S. and within Canada, but your fervent flaggy nationalism is ALSO celebrating the ongoing colonization, dipossession, and genocide of Indigenous Peoples and we will never, ever let you forget that or pretend otherwise. You can't have one without the other.

Just as it did during the rise of the Nazis a century ago, the New York Times is twisting itself in knots to avoid calling fascists fascists. Germany’s AfD is not a “party that downplays Nazis.” It’s a neo-Nazi party.

Stephen A. Smith is a conservative in just about every way except for his willingness to acknowledge the existence of racism as an actual thing. He’d be a terrible nominee for the party and shouldn’t be given any responsibility over people’s lives.

Don't get your hopes up that Democrats even try to push back here. When it comes to mental health medications, Democrats decided to cede the issue to the GOP long ago (especially when talking about controlled substances, like most ADHD medications).
