Space stuff is war stuff. Three of the four crew members are military. Artemis is partnered with the arms companies Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

This is a sick civilization.
An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

‘Call your representative to request they try to stop more genocide and potential nuclear war’ is one of the most disempowering positions anyone could hope to be in.

the levels of elite impunity we are seeing now and the levels of war crimes we are seeing now are two aspects of the same path of historical development. right now they see war as our problem (and their investment opportunity). it is world historically important that we make war their problem again

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Errico Malatesta: "We have always fought against patriotism, and we were proud of being internationalists. Now, the most atrocious consequences of capitalist and State domination should indicate, even to the blind, that we were in the right."

It's doesn't have to be a grand conspiracy. It's not. It can be both rich & powerful assholes who do sex abuse for fun, and media/political manipulation opportunistically for their work.

They will overlap because people who work together often play together.

Don't get apophenic about it.

Corporate surveillance and government surveillance are mostly a distinction without a difference.

Most of the talk about OpenAI, Anthropic and “mass surveillance” neglected to mention that widespread scraping of the web is in itself mass surveillance.

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protestor A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the ...

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.

And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.

They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.

What does this tell you?

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

tcpipeline.org

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

“Those who do a range of work where privacy concerns are top of mind would be left to wonder what problem Amazon is solving with this change,” Krystal Davis, an adult content creator who posted about receiving the email from Amazon, told 404 Media. “Those who use these lists as an opportunity to allow fans to show support and offset expenses will lose that option. The alternatives to Amazon wishlist are significantly lacking.”

of course, this change was flagged first by sex workers, who have to stay more eagle-eyed about their opsec than anyone www.404media.co/amazon-wishl...

Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address Amazon is allowing gift senders to choose items from third-party sellers, which could open recipients up to new privacy risks.

A planned change to Amazon means that if people buy items on your wishlist, it could expose your address. Definitely a threat to people who have public wishlists.

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed.

I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

We're paying them to stand up a digital prison around us. Do we really understand that? They're changing us money to pay for our own subjugation. Right now it's in terms of service agreements and permissions and minor losses of privacy until the prison is fully stood up and then it will be too late.

Discord is absolutely not worth it. bsky.app/profile/mike...

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

🧵

Their argument is: rich white people are allowed to do whatever they want, and that includes pedo islands or rounding up the rest in camps.

There is no contradiction, no hypocrisy, no argument that will sway them. The ideology is: power is moral

whatever it is no one wants it
