Fascism 101, spend your time policing academic interests and rewriting history to sustain the nationalist, chauvinist narrative desired and squash those with the knowledge to challenge it.

Throw this deeply unpopular manifesto in the bin and let the whole far right follow it!

They're utterly deluded... but if they openly admit they'd rather die than stop hating LGBTQ people, why continue treating them as some political faction you have to compromise with?

Orban's inability to prevent last year's Pride protests—attended by 300k despite being banned—was a turning point in his authoritarian grip of the country.

Queer people are always leading the fight against authoritarianism, as we are often its first targets. Never cower to fear.

However many million more viewers BlueSky supposedly lack aren't worth the daily experience on the cesspit that is Twitter under Musk. Don't miss waking up to random notifications from people I'd never follow in a hundred lifetimes advocating for my and all other non-white folks' deportation...

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

University of #Edinburgh students have now taken two university buildings, which they’ve renamed Adnan Al-Bursh building and Jawad Abu Nassar Tower, to pressure the university to meet divestment demands. Lectures have been canceled. #Palestine

What is fascism, but an attempt to protect capital? Arguably this woman captures better than most the truth about the American project - mass worker exploitation defended with social tools like racism and nationalism.

As honest as it is repulsive.

If fascism is capitalism in decay, and Trump is fascist-in-chief, government becomes not an instrument to best manage a nation's resources but a social network for profiteers to gain political capital (here, debased, unashamed loyalty to Trump) and increase the odds of making a fortune from it all

Zack Polanski says Greens would ditch GDP targets and focus on wellbeing instead Leader uses first major economic speech to prioritise public services and reduction of inequality over growth A government led by the Green party would not set targets for GDP growth but would instead focus on people’s mental health, social cohesion and community welfare, Zack Polanski has said in a major speech to set out his plans for the economy. In his first policy address since taking over as leader of the Greens in England and Wales six months ago, Polanski condemned what he called “rip-off Britain”, where a minority of asset owners benefited at the expense of people obliged to pay unaffordable sums for housing and other basics.

see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

You'll never see DOGE address this blatant waste of taxpayer money because austerity measures are for looting state assets for capitalist wealth, just like warfare in the global South is

IDK if people are talking about Kai Cenat's public reading journey, but he's using his power for good.

A lot of people can't read. At least not at what we consider adequate levels. And it is not their fault. Society as a whole severely pulled away from literacy advocacy.

"love thy neighbour" has never been more hollow than from the mouths of right wing religious people

Fascists, nationalists, right wing demagogues, the idea these people have any affinity for "their nation" beyond the cheap political loyalty is may muster is farcical. For capital, no human cost is too high.

What a disgrace that the Global South is the site of violence for some to realise this.

Fascism intentionally surrounds itself in atrocity to cheapen the value of life - it's drive for power expands the commodification of capitalism and normalises the death that follows it.

The murdered citizens following the military strikes Iran are the latest toll of a right wing society. Repulsive

It's simultaneously true that

- the regent military strikes continue America's constant warfare and international violence in the global South to generate revenue for its industrial military complex

- the strikes distract from the Epstein trial and a dozen other disgraces the Trump admin has

The same people that create bigoted fictions about the "danger" of LGBTQ people were and are the biggest endorsers of material like this... conservative culture really is a scourge on public safety!

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.

"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

btw this all started with @maitlis.bsky.social, @jonsopel1.bsky.social, and @lewisgoodall.com treating EIGHT complaints about tavistock as a national scandal and a medical outrage

more children have died as a result of the panic they created than ever complained

are they now criticising cass? no
