Tables, turned!

This PEANUTS comic strip was published #OTD on February 4, 1969.

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

Thinking about Cyberpunk 2077 and the Haitian immigrants who were brought in to do construction on Night City and then were pushed to the crumbling city outskirts and walled off from the rest of the community economically, physically, and digitally when construction was halted.

ICE camps are being built near or next to railway. Trains are clearly part of their plan.

History's trying to rhyme again here...

Coerced unemployment is therefore not to be tolerated.

The war on work from home is in large part a war on women having a career btw

Yep. Musk has a vested interest.

And how much harder will neo-Nazi groups have to "work" to recruit people?

Musk has his vested interests to protect here, after all...

I know I sound like a broken record: We have so many tools for self-help. We are so impoverished for tools of group help. One of the books that I think is powerful in this new bookshelf that we’re going to call Group Help is Danya Ruttenberg’s “On Repentance and Repair.” It’s a beautiful book. She’s a rabbi, and she basically says that American culture is pretty bad. It overemphasizes forgiveness — the Christian notion of forgiveness — and underemphasizes the Jewish notion of repair and repentance. She says that we don’t have meaningful mechanisms to actually repair with one another. And she says that, by the way, everybody causes harm. It shouldn’t be this big, scary thing. Everybody — all of us, in our friendships, in our relationships — everybody causes harm. Everybody has been harmed, and everyone has witnessed harm. And we don’t have the tools to even understand how to apologize in our interrelationships. She looks toward the 12th-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides, and through her entire book basically says: These are the steps to think about, if I did something, what does it look like to, first, understand and name what I did, without even beginning to look to see if you forgive me or not? How do I then begin to understand how to change to be a different person so I would not do that again?

I mean what a review, y'all

People who knowingly voted for a felon are enraged at brown people doing something “illegal.”

Absolutely, and the loss of the ability to work from home doesn’t just keep women out of the workforce, it keeps women with children in terrible or even dangerous relationships.

EU plan to share data with US border force sparks surveillance fears Washington is demanding access to sensitive data as ICE heightens fears in Europe.

🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵

Tillis has said he will oppose Warsh’s nomination until the DOJ drops or concludes its bogus investigation into Chairman Powell. Warsh can’t be confirmed without Tillis’ support.

The nazis raided and burned the first gender clinic. The Reagan revolution closed down most of the gender clinics in the US and left coverage uninsurable for decades. We've been here before. We'll get through just as we always have. With strength and resilience in community. They can't eradicate us.

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

Hoboken has:
1) No freeway interchanges
2) Few multi-lane streets
3) Small blocks
4) 60k population in 1.25 sq mi (a little smaller than Emeryville

So it seems like the recipe for Vision Zero is to smash the freeways, road diet everything, & build dense housing.

Part of why I suspect Trump wants Canada and Greenland as well...

There are also plenty of people who don't want there to *be* a Trump gulag. Anywhere. These two groups do have an intersection.

That some people with more wealth than wits find the ability to record such imagery as this offensive and dangerous to their ambitions is a thing that offends and frightens me.

Billionaires should not exist, but it's getting really annoying watching people cling to damn near anything to avoid addressing the twin dancing elephants of antiblackness and transphobia in the room.

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

trump saying economic collapse is good, on fox news , feb 2014

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan:

If we follow through properly, it can be. I'm not sure what the correct value of "properly" is here, yet...

This is what I deal with on a daily basis.

Yet it’s always me who is told to “be nicer”.

“Be more patient.”

While people literally proudly proclaim their progressive values while simultaneously saying the most ableist nonsense you’ve ever heard.

Undeserved mass layoffs to be expected, then?

I would just reiterate, that it seems unlikely that I, Just A Guy, A Regular Guy, knew more in-depth detail about Peter Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein than the Prime Minister off the United Kingdom who was at the time considering appointing him as Ambassador to the United States.
