Chilling in the extreme - under a new national security memorandum, ordinary American individuals can be designated as domestic terrorists - accused of being “anti-American” for normal acts of protest, or opposition to govt policies. WAKE UP, AMERICA. www.treason.io/p/must-read-...

and we can go back to Jean Anyon's famous study of schools and class to see that divorcing knowledge from context is something that is done when all they ever expect you to do is a working class job.

My boss: Can't you get Copilot to validate the info in the spreadsheet?
Me: Well, do we want it to be accurate or not? Because either I check it myself or I ask Copilot and then check its output *and* the spreadsheet, so...
Boss: What's the point of Copilot then?
Me: Exactly.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

A retired headteacher was arrested for carrying an Eye joke at a march in July.

Six months ago. I meant it. Do it now if you haven’t.

No sugarcoating. We have work to do to keep the republic. joycevance.substack.com/p/only-monday

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

My best tweet ever was “Let’s put the cialis in socialism” and I’m still mad it didn’t go wildly viral

"haha libs are mad about that Sydney Sweeney ad" <- Distraction

"I want the Federal Reserve to obey me and will punish everyone who gets in my way" <- Policy

one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

Acknowledging that we are living under a fascist regime at the Federal level is essential for figuring out how to fight. And I'm sorry but burying one's head in the sand at this moment is actually allowing fascism to be further entrenched & authority more easily consolidated.

What’s it called when a national leader who is explicitly worried about losing power in the next election deploys the military to the nation’s capital city and the places where his political opponents are concentrated? I think it might not be “a distraction.”

We don’t talk enough about how ironic it is that a party that calls itself “Republicans” which was founded to emancipate enslaved African people ended the Republic after a Black man served as president.

When I was in college they taught me that capitalism means that there are capitalists, who own productive resources, like say factories, and they hire people to make stuff and then sell it. They can’t pay their workers so much that they don’t make a profit, but they have to pay them at least enough that they can afford to buy the stuff the factory produces. Feudalism, in contrast, is when you just take your profits directly by charging rent, fees and dues, turning people into debt peons, or otherwise shaking them down. Nowadays the vast majority of corporate profits don’t come from making or selling things but from “finance,” which is a euphemism for other peoples’ debts—charging rents, fees, interest and whatnot. It’s feudalism in the classic definition: “direct juro-political extraction” as they sometimes put it. - David Graeber

So much of this economic system now resembles Feudalism.

I keep saying this but it remains true: Dems have not learned the central lesson of Reconstruction, that multiracial democracy cannot survive when those working to overthrow the rule of law & fair elections are allowed to operate with impunity.

America Tips Into Fascism Today is different than before.

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Simulation of Resistance: Audio From A Collapsing State We're being fed a pale imitation of resistance and democratic action by people determined to keep the status quo

Fascism doesn’t just take over institutions and wield oppressive power, it changes our culture and it changes us.

What we’re being offered right now is cyclical trolling that feels good but distracts from organizing and fighting for actual change.

A Thoroughly Confused Country: An Introduction to Class Politics and a Way Forward Americans suffer from a lack of class consciousness, which makes them easy prey for manipulation

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people.

If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work.
