"When a civilization is limited to work that produces profit... we distance ourselves from the values of care and generosity—and the simple but profound belief that what happens to one of us affects all of us." A marvelous piece by @annehelen.bsky.social.

So that we're clear about this, the Trump administration is not only doing nothing to deport human traffickers, it has literally gone of out its way to IMPORT human traffickers.

I'd flip this. The right has an ideologically coherent project, which is the defense of hierarchies that have dominated American society and opposition to policies that undermine them. Liberals and the left by contrast believe vaguely in helping people they feel sorry for but don't agree how or why.

Eating hotpot and watching Thief (1981) by Michael Mann - it slaps. Great performances and great grimy, early 80s/late 70s settings and character faces.

Yuck! The first linked story on the EPA website is Breitbart news, funded by the fossil billionaires, & calling for us to step back from climate action, or rather to let industry guide this. We were creating jobs, leading change & reducing emissions with the Inflation Reduction Act. www.epa.gov

Apropos of nothing: I’m genuinely not surprised at all that so many evil people turn out to be actually fucking stupid, because being evil has always been the easier option.

This is exactly the same rationale as the war on remote work. “I wouldn’t do anything unless someone were watching over my shoulder, so the same must be true of these people.”

"No Kings" is just a vocal warm-up. Anything less than the energy of workers marching with a FULLY FUNCTIONAL GUILLOTINE on Walt's birthday during the 1941 Disney Animator's Strike should be the bare minimum.

Jack Posobiec is a Nazi with ties to Nazis who has been promoting Nazi sh*t for a decade. The Trump admin sent a Nazi to the country with a Jewish president. Are we that incredibly stupid that we don’t understand what’s going on here? They’re very openly promoting literal Nazis.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

It's strikingly similar to the white supremacy campaigns in Reconstruction North Carolina, as described by Gregory Downs in Declarations of Independence (p.192), where Black employment in government jobs was framed as prima facie evidence of anti-white discrimination.

Just your regularly scheduled reminder that the Nazis studied the American South and based the Nuremberg race laws on Jim Crow America did not need to import Nazism, the American racial caste system was the original

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

Haven't y'all ever wondered why so many myths and legends begin with foundlings/abandoned babies? Moses? Romulus and Remus? Oedipus? It was a common story because it was a common practice. Infanticide was the original birth control.

Those currently in power are “among the very worst human beings this 🌏 has ever produced—the most uncaring, the least intellectually curious, the most disconnected from their own humanity, the most gleefully malicious + deliberately destructive, with an all-consuming greed @ the ctr of their being”

Elon Musk paid less for the United States government than he did for Twitter. Remarkable how low the bidding was.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
