“People can only be free in relation to one another.”
Hannah Arendt.

The problem if we assume that freedom means individual sovereignty is that we either deny freedom (when we realise humans are not sovereign) or, as is happening now, we think “that the freedom of one [hu]man or a group can only be purchased at the price of the freedom of others.” Hannah Arendt

I trust Turnberry will receive the same treatment now Janey Godley is no longer with us.

Oh danke, das hatte ich noch nicht gesehen!

On the current crises and conspiracy theories: “immediacy is our most treacherous problem: our t has permeated all forms of the social and hence has effectively dismantled the social as a form.”

Alenka Zupančič, Disavowal.

Happy to celebrate #mayday2025 with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social! We start talking about antifascism, which now has to include all types of mutual aid and direct action. What does it mean to meet fascists in the streets when they control every lever of federal government?

@mrs-frazzled.bsky.social ‘s analysis of the recent reinterpretation of civil rights laws (that all schools have to stop

I thought there was only a German phrase for this.

The United States Needs a Democratic Vision for Its Post-Democracy Era | TechPolicy.Press Democracy in the US requires more than analysis; it requires faith, writes Dean Jackson.

Dean Jackson writes that the country’s democratic crisis can no longer be treated as acute, with relief hiding one or two elections away; it is plainly chronic.

“On 15 February, a memo from the US General Services Administration removed an explicit ‘Prohibition of Segregated Facilities’ (like waiting rooms, restaurants and drinking fountains) for federal contractors.“
