Qantas withholding an Australian's phone for an entire 15 hour flight because a foreign government told them to should be a huge scandal. Make this news.

"Impunity, the sadist’s conception of freedom, mainstreamed and marketed as the new American dream." Everything you need to know about 21st-century politics in one sentence from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's all too superb third book, "They Knew." Every passing day just reinforces her insights.

Tenure isn't the problem: we should want all educators to have tenure. Tenure is just sparkling job security. Given our current institutions, who is granted opportunities to attain tenure and who is disproportionately awarded tenure is what bears scrutiny.

"...and [non-violent resistance] is a much more inclusive technique of struggle." If your idea of people power isn't inclusive of normies, it isn't an idea of people power.

There goes the nonsense argument that placing American industry inside Ukraine will act as air defense from Russia because they wouldn't dare strike such facilities. By the way, Russia has been striking US-owned enterprises in Ukraine throughout the war.

If ppl actually practiced solidarity w/ disabled ppl &masked, this wouldn't happen. The left's embrace of eugenics ensures this outcome; lack of solidarity reinforces vulnerability. As long as the left refuses to grapple w/ its eugenics problem our so-called anti-fascist movement exists in name only

Every fascist uses illness and violence to disable opponents. They disable us with covid, poverty, police violence, climate destruction, war, transphobia. They count on ableism to make us deny this reality and to abandon each other. Resist. Wear an n95. Use alt text. Make protests accessible.

So the woman arrested for wearing a medical mask at a protest was released; cops said it requires a doctor's note. This is not true of the local laws where they are, but—as we told you happens—cops don't know or pay attention to these regulations.

Just a reminder that Trump considered pardoning the men who plotted to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer. “I’m going to look at it. I will take a look at it. It’s been brought to my attention. I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job.” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The tech industry needs serious, meaningful regulation about the things it can sell and how it can sell them, and the neoliberal bullshit of “free markets” has allowed this nakedly harmful software to proliferate, taking advantage of the fact that more people than ever feel alone and desperate

Just listened to a CNN segment that Iran could activate its cells in U.S. to carry out attacks. And my thoughts immediately went to Trump shifting counterterrorism units to immigration and putting a 22 year, whose experience includes assistant in a grocery store, in charge of terrorism prevention

(📢) BREAKING: On the eve of the No Kings Protest and Trump Birthday Bash, Trump makes two huge confessions: 1) The ICE reads were political. They’re pausing for industries with many Trump donors. 2) They targeted those Trump concedes are “non-criminals.”

This is why I wrote my pinned report, which draws from my time as a criminal defense attorney. This jackass says he’s going to define “get violent” for the people in his county... ...but the first six offenses he names are non-violent offenses. They are changing definitions to justify fascism.

The White House has already previewed their legal argument in the military deployment at the border context; they argue it's not a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act because the troops are not arresting the person, merely temporarily detaining them for local law enforcement to arrive.
