The Mikeno, a Greek boat with a Turkish captain, made it into Gazan waters and has lost contact with the global sumud flotilla team. Reminds me of this classic children's book

The new fascism is rising everywhere, but it will make a certain kind of grim historical sense if its realized form takes fullest root in the US and UK, the two countries that from 1980 foisted Thatcher/Reagan neoliberalism and the resulting doctrines and methods of social demolition on the world.

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

ʟɪɴᴇs @lines.snail.skin · 16d

Myself I feel powerless to stop this fascist rise precisely because it feels like all our institutions are just rolling over to it.

I think part of the reason people have trouble accepting how openly fascistic the Trumpist movement is, is because they don't use the aesthetics of the 1930's Nuremberg rallies. Rather, it's a knowingly campy simulacrum of those aesthetics, which disarms criticism through the conscious irony of it.

Auf Deutsch: strategische Klageführung. PR ist in diesem Kontext abwertend zu verstehen, welches den Ernst der Lage und die Gründe für den Einsatz solcher Mittel, auch bei geringen Erfolgschancen, banalisiert

Republicans just pushed a resolution to "honor the life and legacy" of anti-LGBTQ+ rights leader and extremist Charlie Kirk.

Half of the Democrats voted in favor, including transgender representative Sarah McBride.
