🙏 Their amorality and cruelty is radical; our care and community-building must be too.

It's such a great article with tons of clarifying context, but the graphic is driving me bananas!! Minneapolis for the Many's logo should be four times smaller! And where are the logos for all the subsidiary centrist PACS?

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Honestly, we have crossed the Rubicon so many times I can't remember which side we're on now.

I don't think it's the good one.

Unfortunately this follows naturally from the still-common logic by which once something is named illegal, it’s moralized as wrong. It’s part of why we need a morality that rejects policing and punishment as the way to respond to harm. (Abolition: it’s the way)

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

Today seems like a great day to re-up my slides from 2017 about the Nazi takeover of German physics, in part because in my estimation, a lot of American physicists in 2025 are confused about whether "agreeing to work with them" is resistance (it's not) and whether it works (it doesn't) 🧪⚛️

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌 @chanda.blacksky.app · Jan 31

In light of this deeply illegal activity at NSF and the ongoing attack on American science, I'm posting the slides from my 2017 talk at the American Physical Society about the Nazi take over of German physics/why German is no longer science's lingua franca 🧪

Go to the meeting. Stay in it. When they ask for volunteers, say yes. Do the thing you said you were going to do. Go to the next meeting.

Dan Greene @dmgreene.bsky.social · 4h

Sign. Join. Go to the meeting. The first instinct is to keep your head down, get the work done, hope someone louder or smarter or whatever helps. But that's the coordination problem of fascism: if you, yes you, ordinary person who's never done this before, do nothing then we all lose.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

Surely watching the federal government right now has got to give some liberal tolerators of the Pledge of Allegiance pause? Like, how is it possibly morally acceptable that we've forced generations of kids to promise to be loyal to THIS? (Gratitude to Madison, WI, public schools for not doing this!)
