Just Say Ceasefire, Bernie NOW.

Bernie Sanders is making one of the worst decisions of his political career by not calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Luckily, he can remedy that by calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. www.discourseblog.com/p/just-say-c...

the GOAT is on this website now

what’s up with this new genre of post that’s about famous guys who get paid six figures to post complaining that people on their posts are rude to them. it’s the internet bro ppl are rude on here

A letter to the friendships I have lost and will lose This letter is not to those who I do not know, and yet claim to know me. The people who have followed me on social media just to say that they are unfollowing. The people I’ve never met or interacte...

When we decide on a larger socio-political scale that the personal matters as much as, or even more than, the systemic in issues that are clearly systemic in nature, we'll always default to prioritizing those who are more valued in society. We'll default to humanizing one, & dehumanizing the other.

Dozens of Israelis arrested for social media posts defending Gaza, advocates say “Anyone who wishes to show solidarity and support Gaza is invited to board the buses heading there now,” the police commissioner said.

The only democracy: "At least 100 Israelis have been arrested for social media posts supporting Palestinians & 70 remain in detention, according to a legal advocacy group in the country. Adalah said the arrests are part of an unprecedented crackdown on freedom of expression in Israel."

From Rufo to Friedersdorf to Douthat, the “use the ongoing genocide in Gaza to attack the decolonial left” strategy is reaction at its most ghoulish, generously platformed by The Atlantic and The New York Times

The Rules of War They are being broken profoundly and openly right now. But they still offer a reminder that, despite being capable of horrific violence, human beings are not helpless in its path.

“What we are seeing now is a soft knock on over 2,000,000 people living in one of the most densely packed areas on the planet.” Really good @jscros.bsky.social essay:

Rollout of Biden’s new student loan repayment plan hits early snags Behind-the-scenes calculation errors are resulting in student loan borrowers receiving inaccurate payment amounts.

One million people voluntarily signed up for Biden's new SAVE plan. The servicers miscalculated the payment amount for approximately 420,000 of them.

Payments never should have been turned back on and it's not too late for Biden to issue a new pause + cancel.

Cosmopolitanism and New Humanism In what follows, I wish to read the work of Rinaldo Walcott with an eye towards the problematic of cosmopolitanism offered by Jacques Derrida.  In doing so, my hope is twofold.  Firstly, I endeavor ...

Been going through some old work and remembered this blog post I wrote a few years back about @blacklikewho.bsky.social and Derrida on cosmopolitanism, I need to return to some of the threads I left dangling but I believe it holds up relatively better than I thought it would!

I was living there when the no fly zone shit was going around and people thought the police couldn’t even go in hamtramck, had this exact convo

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

how do you leave your home
fly to another country
move into someone else's house
and think "god wanted this for me"
"i'm the good guy here"

Every "leftist" thing Biden has done has been straightforwardly commonsensical, something that scans as "left" because our discourse and politics are so broken we can't imagine actual progressiveness, and yet he is treated in certain circles as if he is the second coming of Lenin. Meanwhile

Cool check your inbox I just sent u something

@mrxmrt.bsky.social what’s a good email I have something I wanna send you and this site lacks DMs

A blockade of 2 million people is by any definition collective punishment, not merely something that “aid groups say.”

Along with zero discussion of where a lot of the Nazis ended up after the war, consequences of which we can see today lol

There has only ever been one real solution to this conflict, and that is the end of the occupation, the end of the apartheid state, the honoring of the right of return, and the creation of a truly equal society. There is no other way through.

so the Biden administration can't follow up on its own campaign promises because it's complicated but it CAN build Trump's wall thus fulfilling HIS campaign promises? am I missing something?

Nice

I'm not gonna go into detail on how i feel about it cause I'll have to delete this app again but uh yea that wasn't very chill of Bernie Sanders

"fellow person without tenure" come on man lol

“…a clear exercise in intimidation and endangers the safety of all 116,000 residents who have elected to participate in our democratic process.”

Scathing statement from New Georgia Project on the City’s deliberate doxxing of Cop City referendum signatories.

AI is famously unable to express negative emotions or engage in hate speech so idk how they will be able to come up with an AI generated Reviewer 2 lol

i graduated high school when i was 15 thus making me the final boss of not being cool in high school

the worst part is that if you do this for a little while on social media somebody will eventually offer you a 6 figure job at a made up research institute to do it professionally
