in this ongoing pandemic?

“Slavery may change its form or its name—its essence remains the same. Its essence may be expressed in these words: to be a slave is to be forced to work for someone else, just as to be a master is to live on someone else's work. In antiquity, just as in Asia and in Africa today, as well as even in a part of America, slaves were, in all honesty, called slaves. In the Middle Ages, they took the name of serfs: nowadays, they are called wage earners. The position of this latter group has a great deal more dignity attached to it, and it is less hard than that of slaves, but they are nonetheless forced, by hunger as well as by political and social institutions, to maintain other people in complete or relative idleness, through their own exceedingly hard labor. Consequently, they are slaves. And in general, no state, ancient or modern, has ever managed or will ever manage to get along without the forced labor of the masses, either wage earners or slaves, as a principal and absolutely necessary foundation for the leisure, the liberty, and the civilization of the political class—the citizens.” ~ Mikhail Bakunin graph showing the growth in wealth of the world's billionaires steadily increasing; the trend line dripping in blood

"Corporate structure Bluesky Social, officially named Bluesky Social PBC, is a privately owned for-profit corporation.[99] The company is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, but considers itself "decentralized" without a physical head office.[100] As of September 2025, it had 29 employees.[7] Bluesky Social is a benefit corporation; as such, it is allowed to use its profits for the public good, and is not obligated to maximize shareholder value or return profits to its shareholders as dividends. It is owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky Social employees. Graber has the largest ownership share of the company. In late 2024, members of the board of directors included Graber, Jeremie Miller, Mike Masnick, and Kinjal Shah.[101][102][41] Funding for operations, as of late 2024, comes primarily from investors and venture capital firms. No advertising is available on the service as of December 2024, and Jay Graber has stated that Bluesky will not "enshittify the network with ads".[103] The company is[when?] considering introducing an optional subscription service for users, as well as introducing user-to-user payment services.[101][66] As of April 2025, the company's only revenue stream was the hosting of accounts on custom domains.[35] " source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky "Onward and Upward with Technology Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media X and Facebook are governed by the policies of mercurial billionaires.

... ☕😶 all of this,, 🪔

"It’s easier not to care about the world when your society has conditioned you to not even care about yourself and those around you."

#TheCivilityOfNormal #CovidIsNotOver #MetaGame #LiberationLit
"By now, the COVID-19 pandemic should have shown us that we’re supposed to rise to the occasion by meeting needs, not fall in line behind fascist incursions. The same forces that encouraged us to sacrifice the disabled, poor, and unhoused to a distorted idea of “natural selection” now instruct us to ignore the genocide of Palestinians. The same forces that pushed conspiratorial misinformation about public health and vaccination want us to give up on practicing collectivity. It’s connected because if we cannot be relentless in our determination to interrupt what’s unfolding before us, then we risk it becoming a disturbing norm. It cannot be overstated that this situation and the fight in front of us are unprecedented. There are old, predictable solutions we can look to. But what’s required of us in a time of unbelievable tech advances, climate crisis, and tyrannical governance is what many of us failed to do during the earlier stages of the pandemic."

peaceful transfer of power

the open conflict scares them most

#TheCivilityOfNormal #CovidIsNotOver #MetaGame #LiberationLit
@ryan-n-wiggins.bsky.social‬ I'm mad. I'm sad. I'm disappointed. I'm scared. But the peaceful transfer of power is a cornerstone of democracy. The other guy won and was confirmed today. The appropriate response is to keep fighting, not try to burn democracy to the ground. screenshot of tweet: @mikepompeo if we teach that the founding of the united states of america was somehow flawed. it was corrupt. it was racist. that's really dangerous. it strikes at the very foundations of our country. they understood from the start what they could do to prevent our harm & deaths & they're choosing not to do them so their economy can "get back to normal", providing their & their donors' profits & political power off our harm,,
