“Though some may not know, plenty of others should know better.” Great article—this is why we should not reduce one’s lack of knowing or dishonesty to simply “ignorance.”

for context the EU was trying to do a number of similar things during the syrian migration and when the courts told them to stop they started outsourcing the process into legal gray areas like border PMCs and making turkey keep refugees escaping syria in its borders

This is probably the most sinister thing to come out of this whole mess so far imo, because Lutnick (almost accidentally) makes the vision here crystal clear — using a combination of automation and precarious, immiserated American labor to mass produce products that profit tech oligarchs.

To be a Zionist now is to believe that it is defensible to capture a dozen medics and summarily execute them in a hole, and leave their bodies hoping to get away with it. If you can justify that, what can't you justify?

It’s because all they investigate now is scholarships for Black students and reports of a teen telling a Tesla owner “nice car, are you driving it to the dick-sucking store”

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

I participated in a book group discussion of Let This Radicalize You. It was a couple of dozen people from Somerville. One thing that I stressed is that there is no "going back to normal." I think that many people are trying to soothe themselves with this & it's actually a trap.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Whoever you are, if you think the fascists won’t turn on you, too, you are a hopeless rube. Fascists are for crushing, not debating.

You as a single individual DO NOT have to "keep up" with ALL of the information of every single thing happening across the entire world daily. You don't because it's impossible. Focus on a couple of things and act on those things. Don't feel ashamed that you are doing that.

If "the public" were to "rise up" Schumer would be on here every day scolding everyone and would end up being one of 15 Senate Democrats to vote for a bill called something like the Omnibus Tax Reduction and Let President Trump Napalm Protesters Act of 2025.

TWO GIRLS IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF MAINE! FEWER THAN 10 IN ALL OF THE NCAA! i know true believers can't be swayed, but i think hammering these numbers is important for the average person to understand that republicans are OBSESSSSSSED with such a minuscule group of people and it's fucking weird!

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit. Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

I think a lot of things are all simultaneously true right now: 1) we cannot confidently predict what will be effective 2) no one thing is going to be THE THING that makes all the difference 3) all of it matters in its own way Some fights are worth having, no matter the odds. Leave teeth marks.

It’s clear that the national level democrats will never do an autopsy on their election losses so maybe experts and others outside of the dnc should do a professional post Mortem and make it public after being given to state and local officials and those within the federal government who ask for it.

Meanwhile, they're banning drag shows, scrubbing pronouns from emails, criminalizing consensual adult content, and trying to erase trans people from public life, all in the name of "protecting women and children." This is what fascists do and what they have always done.

I sometimes read terrible old theory just to put modern internet drama in perspective. One 80s rad fem lesbian seperatist pamphlet compared women who have sex with men under patriarchy to people who buy goods from apartheid South Africa during the boycott. Second wave discourse hits different.
