Ask Katzeff

People keep saying “we’re in a post-truth era.”

No.

We’re in a post-consequence era.

But it doesn't have to stay that way.

Reminder that we are (or at least were) capable of simply identifying and fixing a global problem so effectively that people literally don't even remember doing it.

Meanwhile, in Mexico, there's the embodiment of the Divine Feminine as head of state — PhD energy engineer, climate advocate, LGBTQ champion, mother, and feminist President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Last June, she was elected in a landslide victory. The other main candidate was also a woman.

Pattern Recognition vs. Pattern Lock-In The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 cast a long shadow. France, humiliated and burning for revenge. Germany, rising and certain it had to strike first to stay on top. Every decision, every alliance, every...

Climate collapse? Not inevitable. Oligarchy? Not inevitable. War? Not inevitable. These things don’t happen because they must. They happen because people in power convince themselves (and us) that they must.

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

Pretty sure he has a security detail and some sense of where people might be protesting. Time Magazine says hundreds are dead; the Trump-Vance plan is for far more Ukrainians to die, and Ukraine to lose its sovereignty and become a colony of Russia, aka permanent loss of rights and nationhood.

Trump: "You're gambling with World War III."

History: "WWII started with a right-wing authoritarian leader allying himself with a Russian dictator and agreeing to mutually devour a country on Russia's borders. That's essentially identical to what Trump and Putin are attempting to do now. The […]

This is the simple truth about Trump.

It's important to keep on top of what is happening, but don't let it come at the cost of not fighting back.

Every "oh god, what now?" article you read is pushing more real families into dire situations. Your community needs you right now. Get out, build relationships and create change 💚

Planetary communism. Radically democratic, post-capitalist, post-nationalist. I know it's a bit of a hard sell in the US, but if they can make NAZISM(!?) popular we can do the same with REAL COMMUNISM.

To hell with Instagram. We’re doing Pixelfed.

No One Knows How This Will End (But I Do Not Think It Will End Well for Them) I can sum up the Trump/Musk/Vance theory of power in five words: "We have power; you don't." Alternative version in six words: "we can do anything we want." They seem to believe that nothing is really...

Here, to be exact:

Trump Wants to Be President for Life—and He’s Already Preparing for It No, he’s not “joking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this past month.

There’s no one around to stop Trump from declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution or even an election.

JD Vance’s Debacle in Germany Exposes MAGA’s Sinister Global Endgame Did you know that the United States is joining an international fascist network?

"I never could have imagined, none of us could, that the government of the United States of America would openly ally itself with a fascist political party. In the heart of Europe. In Germany, for God’s sake."

Picture of quote from W.E.B. DuBois's Black Reconstruction in America. "When the Confederates returned to domination, the public schools, which had attained a degree of efficiency never before reached in the South, were greatly curtailed. One hundred and ten of the teachers, many of them native-born, were dismissed at once, and their places were filled with intolerate Confederates."

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

trying to make nazism great again.

I don’t know what you mean. Is there some kind of signaling happening lately?

These Gen Z'ers Are Ditching Social Media for Good Young people are fed up with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

(Anonymous) In 1987, Trump was having financial difficulties (he lost $1 Billion dollars from 1978-1990) - so he turned to Russia. The KGB literally paid for his trip to Russia, and he was recruited by the KGB. #Krasnov

President Krasnov.

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

When he says things like ‘lock her up,’ he really means ‘lock ME up’—and I think, deep down, he is genuinely surprised that we still haven’t.

Trump is the king of psychological projection. When you base your entire existence on denial, every attack on your opponents inevitably becomes a confession. When he calls people crooked, evil, nasty, corrupt, dishonest, or crazy, he is really talking about himself.
