If this peace agreement breaks down, that is when the Free Palestine people will suddenly find their voice

But when that happens, I also have a hard time finding a way to reverse a future where a generation of Jewish and Palestinian lives will be in constant peril. Scary but also ultimately, sad

Do you really need some fucking lecture to explain why dinging Tiktok for national security issues is not a freedom of speech violation

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

I remember doing an experiment and discovering that Female Prisoner Scorpion had only been reviewed 15~ times on Letterboxd before the Arrow set was released in 2016; cannot be overstated the influnece boutique Blu-Ray companies are having on film culture.

Oscar Goff @theoscargoff.bsky.social · 15h

Probably tough to overstate Criterion’s role here too— foreign films are much more easily accessible than they once were, and they’ve played a huge part in that.

not only that, but when Dems do get organized and pay creators who are pushing aligned content, all of a sudden it becomes an attack line against them. meanwhile Russia literally pays conservative commentators and they are cool with it

Charlie Kirk was a terrible person, but his prowess at organizing was astonishing.

Democrats, progressive and moderate, are using tactics from the 1970s.

Republicans spend hundreds of millions on networking, jobs, and outreach every year. Democrats waste their money on obsolete stuff.

Charlie Kirk was a religious extremist and an advocate for mass censorship of academics he hated.

But as a political organizer and creator of opportunities for his comrades, there's much that can be learned from what he did. @matthewboedy.bsky.social discusses on the latest Theory of Change

I'm more directly affected by China's politics than most people on this site and I still think Gaza is more important than Trump and China blowing hot air at each other

I guess we know who was using Palestinians as a shield this whole time

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

This from @aselrod.bsky.social resonates with the conversation that @sifill.bsky.social had with us at Vassar last week: "We have passed through the veil. Whatever becomes of American liberal democracy in the near or distant future, it will be a resurrection and not a continuation."

Alan Elrod @aselrod.bsky.social · 1d

I wrote about how hard it is to do politics in reality right now, both because of the fictions beings imposed on us and because of the fictions we maintain in our own minds. Read at @liberalcurrents.com

Rob Fahey says that although handheld gaming devices are now a hot sector, nobody who isn’t Nintendo is actually selling many. "Building a dedicated handheld Xbox with a commitment to sell at least ten million units would have been pure hubristic madness."
