The countries hardest hit by the energy crisis are low in income and high in import dependency for fossil fuels, for example Morocco and the Philippines. They have nothing to do with this illegal war, yet their economies and livelihoods are being destroyed.
New preprint from me: 'AI, Decomputing and the Interregnum' zenodo.org/records/1890... - "This paper treats AI as a diagnostic for deeper, nihilistic changes in the existing order of things. It proposes instead decomputing as a decisive turn towards infrastructuring the common good."
AI does not enhance “efficiency.” AI is a permission structure for a totalizing regime of austerity and labor immiseration.
When the resistance frogs at DC busted into synchronized dancing.
"it is imperative to recognize the present moment not as a rupture but a repetition under new conditions: the same geography of extraction and control, the same fantasy of white imperialist domination of trade chokepoints, "

The West is marshalling all this effort and tearing any pretence of international law to shreads all to empower an apartheid state that has been openly committing genocide for the past several years.
Any notion the West was some kind of moral arbiter of the world is dead and buried.

Here's an incredible toolkit for people working to stop ICE buying or leasing warehouses to convert to concentration camps. From the amazing gang at @detentionwatchnetwork.org

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.
Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country.
There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Dr. Nikki Luke just published a new article for The Conversation US, “Data centers told to pitch in as storms and cold weather boost power demand.”

“It’s just weird to see a toddler in a pink onesie getting their eyes washed out from tear gas, you know?”
Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.
The Trump Adm is arresting Don Lemon and overcharging disruptive protesters at Cities Church to posture as if it’s protecting Christians. It’s not. DHS is staging disruptive ops at other churches, at least one of which has had to go online. ...

interested to learn what “at my direction” means because it sounds like “without a warrant”
There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.
Did I mention that large portions of MN’s population are in hiding right now? Kids are missing school. Adults can’t go out to work. People aren’t able to buy food or pay rent, and mutual aid is all keeping everyone going. We keep us safe, on our own, and people are being shot in the street for it

Are you a bot or just a person with no imagination?
Just move along and do your thing, then.
Seriously! They were just jumping over themselves to represent it as bad faith deception and manipulation. Lost a lot of respect for some folks.
