"And what about all those books with checklists on how to spot your country sliding into fascism? Why did so many of the people who read them—and even some of the people who wrote them—falter when a genocide was unfolding on their screens..." - @naomiaklein.bsky.social h/t @annfriedman.bsky.social
Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.
A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Ethics trains people to think about good decisions. But what if its simply that atoms move about and in aggregate this creates the appearance of human beings making choices?
Sociologists are trained to see everything through the lens of power imbalances. But what if it's simply that the marginal (expected) return from outside labor is greater than the marginal cost of the foregone domestic work?
We have to talk about how this glorification of overwork is driving care downstream.
To compete, men are incentivized to dump care onto women in their families. And women in privileged positions are then incentivized to push care onto others more vulnerable than them.

One of the things that has been heartening about American civil society's (belated, admittedly) resistance to the worst of Trumpism has been watching (grand)juries refuse to go along with nonsense lawfare. So anyway Labour really want to weaken our right to trial by jury and ability to appeal.

Let’s not forget that Captain Hegseth was still in the reserves and subject to the UCMJ when he raped a California Republican Women’s group organizer in California in 2017.
Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

Russia flat out rejects Trump's 28-point peace plan: "Even in a reduced military and territorial form, Ukraine would remain a significant danger, requiring us to keep our forces on the western borders."
