i just know an academic press sale with 50%+ off sitewide hates to see me coming!

I have already done one haul from this sale (for research)

a second one for leisure reading is incoming......

“clearing” the “homeless” populations from public view has been something many politicians in the Democratic Party have attempted to do with fervor. on this issue, many are performing disgust with the tactics of the authoritarian regime in D.C., but honestly it’s jealousy.

“Fund the police” they said.

I think people have underestimated the anti-intellectualism of the technofascists as one of the key drivers of the spread of authoritarianism. The clear benefits of the post-1960s expansion of higher ed is being destroyed by the most parsimonious thinkers.

Bad news: you’re not immune to propaganda, bias, or perpetuating harmful -isms.

Good news: Once you accept this, you can reject harm & join liberation movements!

It’s not too late to put on an n95. To oppose genocide. To divest from fascist corps. To demand climate action. To protect trans people.

This is beautiful

How I wish ordinary Americans who are eager to protest Trump would learn to avoid dangerous liberal psy ops like 50501, "No Kings," etc. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anything with:
"We are proud Americans! Flag! Statue of Liberty!"
"The cops are on our side!"
"We're PEACEFUL!"

are massive red flags!

Wake up!

Free Chris, a true fighter!

50501 should not be trusted and the same goes for any organization partnering with them

Gorgeous life, verse, and poetry:
“we read their books, as I said earlier, took
in their alphabets like popsicles and lesion paste
it is a good thing that they don’t know who we are”

Wave of Domination | Dylan Saba The Trump Administration’s reliance on ICE underscores a transformation toward a domestic politics of domination that mirrors its lawlessness abroad. Just as Trump felt no obligation toward any kind…

The liberal international order is collapsing. This piece argues that post–October 7 geopolitics reveals a shift from imperial hypocrisy to imperial candor: multilateralism is dead and force is the new lingua franca.

Fugitive Solidarities — Parapraxis On Kanafani, Shakur, Jackson, and Sinwar Dylan Saba

For the @parapraxismag.bsky.social resistance issue I wrote about the lines of flight forged by some of the most important revolutionaries of our time. Among other things, this piece is my perspective on Black-Palestinian solidarity www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/fug...

Seconded. Back when people actually punched Nazis, Milo Yiannopolis (I'm misspelling his name?) was deplatformed, that made him lose a ton of power and influence.

Fascists aren't to be "debated" with. They're to be punched or guillotined. "Reason" does fuck all. Pointing out hypocrisy is pointless

The scientific evidence that Covid causes horrifying brain damage in most infections, and multiply infected people (most of the population) have Covid brain damage, is immense.

Let's talk about that.

But without ableism. "IQ" is eugenics, and Covid doesn't cause autism or ADHD. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thread time 🧵

‘Precisely designed mass starvation’ is a terrible series of words, my god, and no country on earth should escape eternal judgment and condemnation for this.
None.

Weird, because I just coded a 60 year old last week who had it and she died.

Ableism teaches us to abandon each other.

Racism will disable you.
Transphobia will disable you.
Long COVID will disable you.
Genocide will disable you.
Climate change will disable you.

Do not obey when told to abandon the vulnerable.

Resistance & communities must be rooted in disability justice.

like.....the unbridled antiblackness of doctors is already bad enough

but now you want me to pay for a MACHINE to discriminate against me?!

A MACHINE?!

I just want to go on the record and say that if I paid god only knows how much for health insurance and copays, waited the absurd amount of time to see a specialist that has become bog standard, only to be diagnosed by a MLM?!

I'd be on the 6pm, 11pm, and 6am next morning news

in that order!
