It’s Time for Health Workers to Defy the Law—Again When the government obstructs care, caregivers must go underground.

Two new articles I hope will be read together:
1) On how medical ideology trains US doctors into compliance with fascist violence

2) How doctors can refuse fascism and instead join the tradition of the Hippocratic underground

Talk to your neighbour! Start train spotting! Consider tennis! Get a dog and go to puppy classes! What of lawn bowls? What of music lessons! Learn to ceilidh dance! Take French! MY GOD LADS IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE FASCISM.

Wow. Who could’ve guessed the party that’s led to country to a recession every time they’ve been in charge in the last 40 years would lead the country to a recession again?

Column: The Corporation for Public Broadcast is ‘winding down.’ What does that mean for public radio and TV? The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced it is “wind-down” operations. What does this mean for public radio and TV?

I gave an in-depth interview with my hometown Chicago Tribune about what’s going to happen to NPR and PBS, and how cutting public media is part of a broader anti-democratic ideological project.

Why everyone suddenly wants to talk about concentration camps

FCC Chair Launches Inquiry Into NBCU Over Treatment Of Local Affiliates Brendan Carr wants to look at network affiliation agreements.

the Republican goal here is to drive more money and power to right wing propaganda companies pretending to be local news broadcasters (like Sinclair broadcasting) but as usual a reader would have absolutely no idea of this reading U.S. journalism coverage of it

There's no easy way to put it but the EU refugee solidarity movement is dying:

- Politicians adopted the US detain / deport methods.

- Brexit was a blow to aid sourcing.

- Ukraine shifted support instead of increasing it.

- Donations down + inflation up.

Here's how to help and why it matters 👇

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔

Resistance works and it's not for nothing

BREAKING: Department of Defense Makes Eleventh Hour Decision to Maintain Critical Hurricane Satellites After critical feedback, Navy officials step in to keep data flowing from three U.S. Defense-operated weather satellites scheduled to go dark this week

According to a Navy spokesperson I spoke with, the 11th hour decision to keep data flowing from the three weather satellites was due to critical feedback it received. A testament that our voices and concerns do very much matter. My full afternoon update ⬇️

yes, i hate genAI as a writer, but i also hate it as a reader.

My photo shows a small Roman flask made of translucent cobalt blue glass in the form of a mouse, viewed in profile with head to the left. The neck of the flask (on the right) is funnel-shaped and slightly up-turned to look like a tail. The body of the vessel is rounded and has four tooled trails for feet. A separate blob of glass forms the head with eyes, ears, and a pointed nose. The flask surface is decorated with distinctive trails of glass which have been flattened and notched, using a technique known as ‘snake thread’. Dimensions 6.3 x 5.1 x 14.6 cm.

Something lovely for the weekend! A 1,800 year-old Roman glass flask shaped like a little mouse 🐭 💙

YouTube video by Degenerate Art by Andrea Pitzer The Lost & The Returned | Keeping Your Neighbors from Disappearing | Andrea Pitzer | Next Comes What

"I’m telling you about all this because people are being targeted right now. People are disappearing before our eyes."

This is genuinely some of the best journalism on this topic I've seen. Remember me making noise about Pixiv's purge with @404media.co a few years ago?

Remember the organizations mentioned in this video. *Specifically* mention them in your calls/letters.

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.

Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.

If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

Now is the time to prepare.

Make sure you have flashlights with fresh batteries. If you own a portable generator, make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home.

Just Banning Minors From Social Media Is Not Protecting Them By publishing its guidelines under Article 28 of the Digital Services Act, the European Commission has taken a major step towards social media bans that will undermine privacy, expression, and partici...

Your privacy ≠ safety. We argue that restricting minors from social media under the EU’s Digital Services Act undermines young people’s rights—forcing age checks risks privacy, free expression, and access. Instead, platforms should build safer design and moderation. eff.org/deeplinks/20...

A post on X by Kyle Langford, with a composite photo showing him standing outside the gates of Auschwitz, and the caption: "My zero unemployment plan", with an emoji of factory chimneys.

I know there's a risk of amplifying the fascist horror show, but I think we need to be aware of just how far things are going, especially as this man is a Republican candidate for governor of California. All the old safeguards are being deliberately torn down, and the unspeakable normalised.
