America remains a slave nation as the carceral system tortures black men across the nation and exploits them for profit and cheap labor.
They are political prisoners, suffering unduly under the largest prison state in human history. They must be freed.

I mean we barely learn about the pacific theater of world war II and we don't really learn about Japanese Imperialism. We just learn that they bombed Pearl Harbor and they were aligned with Nazi Germany and that's why we had to fight them. because digging into it reveals American Imperialism

AI is a climate issue. AI is a climate crisis.
A few important points here
- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false
- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE

The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

don’t understand the optics argument from anarchists. it’s very American. “People think communism is scary so instead we should abandon making society better and just fuck off to our own insular communities. everyone who isn’t my cousin/girlfriend should die” is also bad optics.

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages
“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

As folks have noted in the replies, the student's mother is something of a MAGA public figure (and lawyer).
This is obviously a purposeful stunt to attack a trans graduate student, which is sick af and must be opposed on the grounds.
It is simultaneously an assault on university pedagogy.

Yeah. We also went from pretending that Israel only bombs hospitals by accident to them bombing 30 hospitals and the U.S. applauding within the past 24 months. I'm not sure what's worse, mask on evil USA or mask off. The latter is definitely more depressing.
