Uh oh, the Hetero Awesome Fest, despite a big coup from a local HVAC company, has only secured half its needed sponsors. At this crucial juncture, it's vitally important that nobody waste their time with frivolous fake offers of sponsorship, volunteer work, etc.

as ever, if you ask people if they think art should exist for their enjoyment they will say yes, and then if you ask them if the people making the art should get paid for it they'll tell you "no that's a fake job"

About "nonviolence"— The definition of "violence" is not neutral. What counts as violence is determined by those who control public discourse. This is why police can terrorize people without it registering as violence, while the slightest act of community defense is framed as "violence." 🧵⬇️

I remember when this place was still invites and a big % of the TL was users complaining about Twitter like an ex that was still processing a breakup. These days we're living our lives & it seems X users are doing the same about Bluesky. Sorry boo we just don't think about you that much these days.

Imagine if Cuban took the perspective that it would be weird to pivot your entire politics to persecute 10 people in the entire country just trying to do sports. Instead of whatever the fuck this is.

Wow. NYT is reporting that Trump is largely pausing deportation raids in agriculture and hospitality industries, suggesting he fears deportations are "hurting industries and constituencies that he does not want to lose." As I try to argue in this piece/thread, he's vulnerable here. Reset, Dems:

I asked Andrew Cuomo a simple question: will he publicly ask his Super PAC to return the millions of dollars it's received from Trump-backing billionaires? And will his own campaign reject the hundreds of thousands of dollars from MAGA Republicans? He wouldn't answer.

Absolutely. In addition to debunking the myth, Lembke has a lucid explication of the Nixon-Agnew strategy to smash opposition to the war by blaming the media for creating it. Published in 1998--a real contribution to the field of Vietnam War studies (& in its way the mass psychology of fascism).

Wait hold up! Everyone reported this like the entire $40bn had closed! It's almost as if SoftBank doesn't have the money to fund OpenAI and they're having to paper over that by begging every investor under the sun. They also have already said they'll need another $17bn in 2027? On top of the $30bn?

Desperation. They hear the siren song of "if I throw other people under the bus I might be spared". It's stupid, but as the pressure gets more extreme more people's brains will switch off

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

This is why protests work! At some point the administration has to ask itself if having a city on fire for days and spending millions to send in the National Guard and exhausting all your cops is worth kidnapping some random girl for waiting tables on a student visa.

How on earth can the UK sanction two Israeli ministers yet — at the very same time — continue supplying weapons to the very government they serve? The UK’s position is becoming more absurd by the day. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

It’s so much worse this time. It might not be clear if you don’t live in LA, but the supposed “riots” are tiny. They’re nothing like George Floyd in 2020. Protests are happening in a few blocks downtown and as resistance to specific ICE raids. This is 100% pretense for fascist subjugation.
