RXKNephew Made A John Fetterman Diss Track For 'Chapo Trap House': Listen The last time that Rochester rap eccentric and onetime Stereogum Artist To Watch RXKNephew popped up on this website was a few months ago, when he directed the 12-minute diss track “The Truth” at fell...

“Fetterman positioned himself as some kind of working class progressive hero, and then he turned out to be a raving Zionist freak who doesn’t like to show up to work”

So @chapotraphouse.bsky.social co-host @willmenaker.bsky.social “hit up RXKNephew… and the song ‘John Fetterman’ now exists”

Support has declined for our media project in recent months. We hate even asking for support in times like this, but we did set up a 30% discount for new members to our patreon. So if folks want to sign up they can do so at a significant discount.

Building Power for Palestine and for a New World Order A coalition of cross-regional states met in Bogotá, Colombia in mid-July to discuss measures to disrupt Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. The subsequent commitments by some of those governments to en...

Twelve countries have committed to disrupting Israel's genocide of Palestinians. The US says it's a radical, anti-Western agenda. It is: it's a move against colonialism. And while the coalition of states is important, true liberation requires people power. Latest for @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social.

There's a learning curve but we need more people to join the fight!

INTERNET ANONS - main mistakes to avoid:
1) Telling on yourself / over sharing
2) Repurposing old accounts
3) Reusing passwords
4) Using personal email addresses

We hope to see more Nazi identifications 🖤 get in there 🔥

Physicians refused to travel to the prison to turn off the device. 
The backup plan? To transfer Brown to Nashville General Hospital to have it turned off there. Then transfer Brown back to the prison for his execution.

Since I wrote this essay, a Nashville General Hospital spokesperson said the facility "has no role in state executions."

This is what it looks like when conscientious objection works to protect a patient.

Package theft is a major financial problem for Amazon and the solution it devised was to help engineer a surveillance state by attaching a microphone & camera to every home in America and grant police unfettered access.

White power propaganda and the implicit threat of overtly violent eugenics coming from official government channels is quickly becoming normalized as is the use of opaque language and “in group” jokes in a similar manner to non governmental far right propaganda efforts on social media in the past.

5 questions for Meredith Whittaker

Why is there no federal privacy law?

“We really need to atone for the sins of the 1990s… which resulted in the dependence of governments on these companies for surveillance

It created actors that now have… more geopolitical power than individual nation-states”
