You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops?

Well so does neoliberalism.

Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy."

The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

Ben Mulroney is blurring the lines between journalism, business, lobbying and partisan politics

Breaking: Egyptian political activist and writer Alaa Abd El-Fattah was released from prison early Tuesday morning after being granted a pardon from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Monday.

Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand.
What an epic moral failure.

funny but also so friggin appalling

the point being made so well... why memes are such fun :)

Law enforcement officers remember police officer killed in CDC shooting in Atlanta Weeks after David Rose was killed while responding to a shooting this month at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, officers are remembering the DeKalb County police officer as a courageous leader who pri...

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others?

David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence.

You can do both.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

To put this another way: you can't stop it from making things up because *literally all it does is make things up*

It just generates likely text. Sometimes what's likely is also true. Sometimes it's not.

This means it has the same relationship to truth as a magic 8-ball. Literally.

Look, I don’t know why this is so complicated for people

When a man says violence against women isn’t a crime, they told you who they are, and you can believe it or you can explain it away, but then you know who you are, too

The misogyny was always a core point

Okay now this is impressive!

Sound on!

Elon Musk is engaged in open chemical warfare and killing the people of Memphis and don't let people tell you this isn't a race thing.

a white South African dumping toxic gasses onto a majority Black city isn't something that is happening by coincidence

can we get rid of her asap please!

much solidarity with @dalfaculty.bsky.social ... when faculty members should be eagerly looking forward to tomorrow, to meet new and returning students, instead they're on the picket line, facing an intransigent employer and senior admin who have clearly forgotten all about the classroom

people doing things - respect

Canadians / those in Canada - follow this

AI companies are constantly trying to deceive the public of its env & climate impacts. Each day we learn new info on how harmful AI is on ecosystems. This will only get worse as AI firms create partnerships w/ fossil fuel companies.

Keep hammering this angle (along w/ the many social & econ harms)

A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.

Classes for CBU's new medical school start in a week out of temporary home | CBC News Classes begin in a week at the Cape Breton Medical Campus, where students commit to practising medicine in rural Nova Scotia communities for five years after their studies.

The new CBU med school is dependent on Dal’s Faculty of Medicine & our department for training and preparation of anatomical materials. We are locked out, but nary a mention how the lockout affects students starting at CBU. #keepdalstrong

Your friendly neighbourhood anti-fascist, gangster fighting team of resisters are taking the fight global.
Meidas Canada and @meidastouch.bsky.social launching on Labour Day.

indeed...of all the ways to represent public or community service, this?!

and everybody who shows up and speaks up, whatever the event

There it is: 9:30 a.m. August 20: Dal president Kim Brooks and her board just entered history as the first “leaders” of a U15 in Canada to lockout its faculty.

They have no plan, no mandate, and not one clue.

@dalfaculty.bsky.social does have a plan for them: get back to the table #KeepDalStrong

in no world (one would think), would locking out 1000 faculty members 2 weeks before the start of the semester make any sense... Dal admin looking to be even harder hit by challenges facing canadian PSE right now? much solidarity with @dalfaculty.bsky.social !

LLM as MLM No one likes to be wrong. But perhaps what bothers people even more than making a mistake is being made a fool, being tricked or duped. It's no surprise then that many folks bristle at the assertion ...

A wonderfully provocative piece from @audreywatters.bsky.social on LLMs as MLM schemes. 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/llm-as-mlm/?...

I don't think people are concerned enough about the fact that the majority of people in the world have objected to this genocide for nearly 2 years and nobody in power cares one bit. They're conditioning us to do what we're told. This isn't just about Palestinians. Just wait until the next pandemic
