In Florida, “free speech” and “institutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with “race” in the title is censored for violated the law.

Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

"Violence" in Social Movements • 111 They Will Call You Violent If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of im-prisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

Entire podcasts were dedicated to the question of what JK Rowling has ever done that’s transphobic. She has openly been working toward this outcome for years.

Woodworking by Emily St. James

Holy shit its book time, that's right its the time when I'm reading a book 🤯 specifically the latest from @emilystjams.bsky.social

I started this two days ago offline and I'm about 50 pages in, enjoying it so far.

a scene from the good place roast where the gang is trying to figure out Michael's clues.

I was really close to guessing the twist in Woodworking (by Emily St. James) and it suddenly feels like this 😅

Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law

I see a lot of "first they came for" quotes here that elide that this place never stopped coming for Black people and racism, segregation, and anti-Black propaganda lulled y'all into accepting contemporary forced labor.

‘Headed for technofascism’: the rightwing roots of Silicon Valley The industry’s liberal reputation is misleading. Its reactionary tendencies – celebrating wealth, power and traditional masculinity – have been clear since the dotcom mania of the 1990s

For @us.theguardian.com, I wrote about how Silicon Valley’s right-wing politics go back to the dotcom mania of the 1990s — and how they’re far more central to the tech industry than we’ve previously thought
