Dear Brussels,

Even though you're a city of over 2MM people, you have the public infrastructure of a city of 500K. Your public transport is not accessibility-compliant, and your road works tangle the city in seeming infinite knots. On Wednesday, I will bid you good riddance, never to return again.

Siavash (@capgrasman.bsky.social) is an AMAZING producer; his ear is second-to-none. He supported me, challenged meβ€”no one has taught me more about the practice of making sound than he has.

It if law enforcement is non-compliant, then isn't the order meaningless?

The Empire Self-Destructs We share the pathologies of all dying empires with their mixture of buffoonery, rampant corruption, military fiascos, economic collapse and savage state repression.

Christian fascism is alive and well.

Judge Halts DOGE Access to Treasury Payment Systems The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by 19 attorneys general accusing the president of failing to faithfully execute the nation’s laws when he let DOGE comb through federal computer systems.

How is it being enforced and who by, is what I'd like to hear reported. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

Federal judge blocks Musk’s DOGE from access to Treasury Department material The judge also ordered Musk and his team to β€œimmediately destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from Treasury Department’s records and systems, if any.”

It's amazing how people can have such blind, unwavering faith in broken institutions that Nazis like Musk have shown that they don't respect and won't listen to.

How do you stop the richest man in the world from doing whatever he wants? πŸ€”

The key concept that Marxists need to communicate to liberals is that political and economic power cannot be separated. The idea that you can change the social and economic reality for the better by voting for someone is absurd when EVERYTHING is owned by oligarchs. We have owners, not rulers.

Fascism Is Possible Not in Spite of Liberal Capitalism, but Because of It The question of the labor movement under fascism is the question of what to do when it is already too late.

The choice is socialism, or barbarism. Fearing systemic change and holding onto the neoliberal order will only push us deeper into fascism. Liberals need to come to terms with the fact that their ideology has led us directly to Trump, and that there will be no future under capitalism.

This is how the world views the US.

Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

Does this mean that officers have confiscated all of the hard drives? Are they expelling people from buildings? Are they preventing people from accessing the space? We've learned that anyone associated with the Trump regime ignores court rulings.
