We raised $460 already. Thank you so so much. I'm still in the hospital due to having a stress related seizure but transport will be here by 9pm and I will be taken back to the house I'm being kicked out of. You all are fantastic and I hope I survive this

Not sure if anything more precisely captures the whistling-past-the-graveyard complacency of the last decade than chatting with a fascist in a luxury resort about whether liberal democracy deserves to survive and then heading off for a bit of skiing.

Jesse Jackson just became the centrist's favorite kind of black leader: dead, and therefore easily repackaged into a message they approve of.
when Chuck Schumer tries to say something nice about Jesse today just remember he blocked the Jackson campaign’s 1984 proposed plank to recognize Palestinian self-determination

Das Buch hätte unter dem Titel 'Wieso behandelt mich die Linke wie einen Rechten?' eine kritische und interessante Selbstreflexion werden können. Stattdessen ist es Hufeisentheorie for Dummies der taz Leserschaft.
Es ist ein ungeschriebener Text, aber irgendwann muss es darum gehen, WIE genau eine Verdachtssprache, die von rechtstextremen Netzwerken, manipulativer Desinformation und "Angriffen auf die Demokratie" so einfach und UMSTANDSLOS auf bestimmte "Linke" umgebaut werden konnte.

Absolutely right. Like Chris, I resent the framing that European governments are learning this from the US. It’s totally routine for hundreds of black African people to drown in the Mediterranean when trying to reach Europe. The EU, and its homegrown structural racism, enabled that all by itself.
Rather obviously so. European governments are closer to the Trumpists in practice than people would like to think.

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
