“Power that rests on the performed compliance of others is more fragile than it looks. The strong do what they can, until the moment they discover that “what they can” was always bounded by what others were willing to tolerate.”
“The strong do what they can" is what Athens said right before destroying itself. New piece on the Carney Doctrine, Vaclav’s grocer, and American hubris.

Sorry to those who will get ick, although no one should be. During HK 2019, those who menstruate reported their periods being… *unusual* in a bunch of ways after being tear gassed non-stop. So for those in MN, heads up, this may happen.
ICE has shrouded entire neighborhoods in Minneapolis in a toxic cloud of chemicals.
Last year, I commissioned this story on @thexylom.com on the aftermath of Nepal's Gen-Z protests, where something similar happened.
There are likely long term public health impacts in both cities for years to come:

Hushållens ekonomiska standard ökade åter under 2024 efter två års nedgång, visar statistik från SCB. Men den är fortsatt lägre än 2021.<br/>Samtidigt ökade även inkomstskillnaderna.

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better.

Hard agree.
It's not gonna be like the evil spell is broken, Republicans wake from their bewitched fever dream and everything goes back to normal. Vance will inherit the authoritarian platform Trump has established, and you can bet he'll make maximum use of it. We need to be ready for that.

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet.
They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism.
We must prept for this now & organize accordingly.
Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes.
