I was recently leaked a document that was written by and for think tank and DNC affiliated policy wonks and circulated in private chats. It describes in unsparing terms the threat Curtis Yarvin, Neoreactionary tech founders, and Elon Musk pose to democracy. shatterzone.substack.com/p/democratic...

1. I saw this again and again from people like Tulsi Gabbard, who was then on the left: a complete absence of empathy towards the victims of Assad's attacks in Syria. And making common cause with the far right in supporting his regime and its Russian backers.🧵 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

So AI is going to create threat profiles for people who criticize ICE—and then cross reference that with the personal identity data the Musk Rats were allowed to steal—to monitor us IRL (using facial recognition to track us) based on what we say online. I wish I was making any part of that up. 😬

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

It's an illegitimate government, about to meet the trash bin of history, whose only claim to authority is violence. Their opinions deserve none of your respect. ❤️

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.” “A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”

Teen Vogue is, no lie, one of the few legit publications left Like it feels like satire, but it’s absolutely not. They have repeatedly shown bravery in holding firm on social issues and reporting the dangers we face in this current moment

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy. Three main reasons the fire exploded: 1. Drought-like conditions 2. Very low relative humidity 3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph (Video by Stuart Palley)

Israel nearly killed the head of the World Health Organization. Has any Western government commented on this yet? Can you imagine their response if it was Iran or Russia?

I think that a lot of works in the modern corporate dystopia genre, particularly the ones which themselves are intended for wide distribution and are published by major corporations, simplify how corporate feudalism works in a possibly intentionally misleading way

the incredible thing about this extremely viral post is that James Baldwin never said this, it was a tweet by a Twitter user called Son of Baldwin. The disinfo war is not just against right wing political actors
