John Davidson, Tourette's Syndrome advocate, created controversy at the BAFTA awards by continually shouting profanities and racial slurs. He was immediately hired as a speech writer by the Trump Administration. #MAGAts @politipod.bsky.social

@thebugle.bsky.social My 10-year-old son's reaction to Andrew Mountbatten's arrest this morning: "He's a 'prince-oner'...get it?" I was sooo proud; he's growing up to be a Bugler! πŸ₯Ή #AndrewArrested

In recognition of Black History Month, I watched a video of MLK, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Primarily to confirm that at no point did he say: "I have a dream that one day the Dow Jones Industrial Average will exceed 50,000, and nothing else will matter." #BlackHistory @politipod.bsky.social

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Worth a read:

This paper argues that and how features of contemporary digital technologies, their governance, and their political context mirror features of fascism. It concludes with a call to resist these new, anti-democratic forms of governance and domination
