let me use my credibility to pacify you. what needs to happen is we just need to vote in 4 years. nothing we can do right now.
If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

They are forcibly detransitioning people. They are denying life saving abortion care. They used the lifeless body of Adriana Smith as an incubator without her or her family's consent. They are denying millions vaccines which prevent deadly & chronic illness.
These too are violence.

"they are going to use this against us."
where you been, they are murdering black people in the streets for selling CDs, they are rounding up hispanic people for being at a home depot, they are sending people to foreign torture prisons for tweeting about Palestine.

Despite being literally featured in a Gizmodo article (or perhaps, because of it?) Sahar has had her accounts taken over and over. In the last week she and her family have been fully displaced, unhoused, and put into extreme peril. We have to support her to get back to some stability!

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a week ago, the CSU closed 6 departments (among them, philosophy, women's and gender studies, and economics) and fired 46 tenure-line faculty at Sonoma State. One of those faculty studies AI ethics.
They fired the AI ethics professor. Then, this.

OpenAI targets higher education in the U.S. with ChatGPT rollout at California State University
Microsoft -backed OpenAI said on Tuesday it will roll out an education-specific version of its chatbot to about 500,000 students and faculty at California State University as it looks to expand its user base in the academic sector and counter competition from rivals like Alphabet .

It cannot be said enough that the liberals that are doing this are not necessarily a departure or an aberration from fascism. Talking about a genocide like it's a pothole on main street is an indication of their placement in an unbelievably grotesque moment in time! bsky.app/profile/will...
We have too many terrible people around us who think the best thing to do right now is blame anyone who's angry about a genocide instead of the administration that was sponsoring it. That, or misunderstand exit polls and cast blanket aspersions on different populations.

Go ahead and preorder this book by Garrett Felber. Martin Sostre was one of the greatest radicals this country has ever known and it's about time his story gets the recognition it deserves. This is monumental.
A CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE (May 6) will be the first biography of Martin Sostre, the revolutionary political prisoner who laid the foundation for contemporary abolitionist struggles and Black anarchism. For every copy preordered, we'll send one free to someone in prison. www.akpress.org/a-continuous...

If a new pandemic emerges, we shouldn’t ask the public to change their behavior, we should just instantly build and staff more hospitals.
