This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

In tonight's military purge, Tump nominated Dan Caine for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a retired Lt. General so underqualified he'd need a waiver. Even odder: Caine was installed last month at 3 VC firms doing crypto, AI, and defense tech, including Thrive, founded by Jared Kushner's brother. 1/

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

Drop the paywalls on news. It's a huge problem that people can read Fox News and Newsmax for free, but to get to stories produced by journalists, they have to beg for a gift link or check out if someone saved it on the Internet Archive or archive today.

It's really a mystery why _the general public_ watches, for free, Fox new or Junk Rogram instead of .. Oh wait all those real journalism articles you've been writing that would help us have a paywall.

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

It’s hard to overstate how catastrophic the streaming / cloud-based / everything is licensed and nothing is owned media landscape is. Burning books was one thing, there were almost always other copies. Now Amazon can just delete a book from existence and erase the fact it ever existed

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

Heartbreaking story. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, age 11, took her own life after her bullies constantly threatened to call ICE to have her Hispanic parents deported. Her story is one of the many real human consequences of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. youtu.be/vwMGdnM24Cw?...

There is a reason we admire the exceptional. The average reverts everything to complete utter unimaginably mediocre shite. As you witness this very moment, is also true of democracy.

It doesn't surprise me much that an industry riddled with vast amounts of man-babies who are controlled purely by their emotions went from flame-wars about tabs or spaces to "our calculators will surely spontaneously acquire magic any day now"

A lot of people in the US misunderstand they will be cleaned out of their assets, evicted and left to rot when shtf for them. Trump will ruin you all and he will laugh you voted for him twice. You didn't care about your fellow Americans either. Well, neither did he. He PT Barnum'ed you hard.

Debating reactionaries is never a good idea You might win on 'facts', but you'll always lose politically: they are not arguing in good faith, they want their ideas to become seen as acceptable in public discourse And by debating them, you're giving them what they want It really is that simple

Congratulations to everyone who hedged on Elon's Nazi salute. Now he's tweeting 14 flags at 14:14, but I'm sure it's an accident. Can't wait for the Very Serious People to tell us there's no way to know what's in his heart when he starts screaming Heil Hitler next week.
