Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

One of the things I most resent about this is that I know it to be a deliberate strategy by Netanyahu, he does not want Jewish people to feel safe living outside Israel. And it’s working, global antisemitism is rising. The antisemites are making his point for him.

This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.

Background info. This is happening around the country.
J.H. Campbell power plant is one of Michigan’s biggest polluters and about 400 meters from my shore & on the Pigeon River that flows into me. High costs passed to consumers along with some arsenic and lead 🌊🌊

I wouldn't mind voting for someone affluent if they were also calling to tax the rich to fund a unionized renewable energy revolution and happy to tell MAGA to fuck off, secure in the knowledge that they have enough wealth and privilege to take on those fights with their class peers directly.

Given that NY, especially Manhattan, has a concentration of the ultra rich, where is our equivalent to Tom Steyer or Pritzker?
Or is there something unique to our neoliberal politics that controls opposition and prevents someone affluent from running on a "No one should be this rich"-type platform?

The worst part of sharing your life with a cat is, of course, saying goodbye.
Second worst is the litter box.
But closely trailing is walking in on them in absurdly cute totally dialated pupils gremlin mode and seeing them get embarrassed to be caught - no shame, little dude!

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.

And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.

You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

If the Dems are serious about shoring up our democratic system when they regain power to prevent yet another autocrat just a few years later, then they need to come up with real plans for major Supreme Court reforms.
Like, "quadruple the size of the court" and "impeach Roberts" level of reforms.

Ypsilanti water system to consider 12-month moratorium on supplying data centers The Ypsilanti Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution Wednesday calling for a 12-month pause on providing water for data centers.

Cities are getting creative about taking on the data center drain. This would be Ypsilanti taking on the U (and the Department of Energy) directly.

It's no coincidence that this practice started with a bill regulating coal fired power plants.
Everything we are fighting today links directly to white supremacist capitalists clinging to fossil fuels because they fear the equity and prosperity that a renewables-based economy will provide.

Rumor is Heastie and Stewart-Cousins are folding and Hochul is going to steamroll her weakened metrics for the CLCPA today.

Likely also means she's shoving through her weak ass NY4ALL alternative.

Hochul and NYDems are using MAGA authoritarian tactics to sell off our children's future.

Also? The fact that people aren’t being reminded of HIV’s early days is partly how we get here.

Before AZT it was just young, healthy men wasting away. No one would touch them. They couldn’t even get dental care. They died alone. That started to wane when antiretrovirals started rolling out.

❗️NEW: Governor Hochul announced an updated immigration proposal that would give police officers wide discretion to collude with ICE if they claim to have probable cause to detain someone.

This proposal makes a mockery of due process and will endanger countless immigrant New Yorkers.

Republicans voting no on #FISA outnumbered Dems voting yes!

The 4 feckless Dems voting to enable a Trump surveillance state despite a troubling letter from @wyden.senate.gov:

Gottheimer, Golden, Perez, and...

Yes, of course it's @tomsuozzi.bsky.social.

Please give me money to replace that man.

How Silicon Valley Humiliated the Democrats When will they learn? The party remains far too solicitous of an industry that’s rewarded their fealty with four years of Trump and untold damage to democracy.

"Democrats need to break from this path and acknowledge that billionaires—especially those in the increasingly antidemocratic tech sector—are never going to side with them over the GOP." From @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2087...

really funny to me that the democrats always have 1-3 guys on hand to make sure the democrats can put up the performance of resistance while still ultimately getting the government to pass what the combined democratic-republican party ultimately wants

Spending a lot of time ripping out crab grass by hand so my clover can take root out back, and it has me meditating a lot on what it means to take out fascists.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."
