„technology is the fruit of the male ovary, which is the mind“ is absolutely everything that’s wrong with both the mind and technology in our tech fetishist muscular fascist present
‘For leftist Jews, the Bund is a model’: the radical history behind one of Europe’s biggest socialist movements
We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash.
Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do?

Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs: “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Christianity,” “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,” “extremism on migration,” extremism on “race,” extremism on “gender,” “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,” Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”
The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.”
Essentially, every single Bluesky user.

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.
It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov
And Trump just bombed it...
ultimately, Musk is portrayed as a cyborg meme N*zi, out to destroy surplussed populations excluded from his narrow definition of (trans-post)humanity
just finished reading Muskism - a prognosis of a horrifying dystopia in the making - constituted by White supremacist cybernetic capitalism grafted onto old school N*zi nativism (currently being wielded by Sell*er et al., in "remigration"). It is a sickening world order that we currently inhabit
The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons. Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women - that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as
have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, Sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out. Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.
hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece.
![lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece.
[Redacted]
And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)
I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway.
But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself...

Just remembering the letter Pete Hegseth’s mom sent him, calling him an abuser of women and telling him their family is “broken by your behavior and lack of character.”
"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT
there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS
Were there former times as repetitive as these?
No matter how many good interviews Tucker does about Israel, he is still one of the ideologues who pushed the mass kidnapping of immigrants into our metastasizing concentration camp system
No snappy sound bytes will wash him clean
Enjoyed talking to @richardhames.bsky.social as part of the new @novaramedia.com complete with ever-expanding board of connections, our attempt to do a materialist analysis of Musk’s strange behavior—-though @susglickman.bsky.social on the last one was a hard act to follow

thought it would be a good time to share my syllabus on the global history of petrostates. turned out to be more topical than I could have imagined!
It seems like pretending the law didn’t exist while aiding and abetting a genocide has not been good for capitalist democracies and all their institutions that conveniently brushed aside due process in the last 2.5 years

Platforming „Restore“ Britain is normalising British nativist n*zis - they are now working with European identitarians (on messaging etc) including S*llner

We’re going to see a process of Orbanisation across the cultural sphere of many countries moving to the far right, involving the defunding of grassroots initiatives and the placing of conformist institutional leaders in museums and other institutions - who will quickly fall in line
is there a link to this conference?
Genuinely so happy to see this happen. The fascists _can be beaten_ with pro-working-class politics and moral consistency over genocide

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it.
Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:
