Notice that those in power don’t know what to do and they’re incompetent. Notice there’s no opposition to those incompetent criminals.
This is on us. You and me. We have to act because we’re the adults in the room. That’s what a revolution is. That realization.
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
I mean, quit using "AI" at all AND ... @quitgpt.bsky.social boycott Chat GPT. OpenAI's president was the biggest donor in Trump's Super PAC's year-end report. It's time to quit. Join: quitgpt.org #QuitGPT
If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally.
Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help.
The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there.
It will help your heart.

If you’re still carrying the torch for the Democrats or spending your time defending them, please, I beg you, look around.
They’re saying they agree with this illegal war, they just demand the privilege to make it legal.
This isn’t opposition. This isn’t capitulation. This is cooperation.
If this war were truly about opposition to oppressive Islamist regimes, the US wouldn’t be allied with Saudi Arabia or have its 5th Fleet stationed in Bahrain.
There are other examples, but let’s just be clear this is NOT what the war is about.
"We have to side with our country during wartime!"
Actually no, we don't. That's just government imperialist propaganda.
No word of the death toll? No word of the Constitution? No word of impeachment?
Come TF on

You are so unserious.
Step down if you can’t find the morality to stand up to our tax dollars killing 85 children - and a girls elementary school. You are complicit.
Has anyone claimed these schoolgirls were “human shields” yet?
Because they will—and it will be a lie.
He could just as easily be talking about the Democratic Party, many of whose leaders are making similar mistakes:
Look, y'all don't have to read the whole book Enshittification by Cory Doctorow, but ... wow, some things that made me go, "ohhhh, of course that's why ... " I think I refer to Enshittification on the daily. (Which, BTW, a fantastic word to say in an academic setting)

Divide and conquer is not just a trite truism. Solidarity is the only tool to save multicultural democracy and too many groups are unfortunately now learning this the hard way.

Should be noted that the surveillance devices Amazon, Google, Flock and the rest of them try to sell us are versions of this. The idea of fortress in place of community and surveillance as safety is good for fascists and keeps people buying their products.
I woke up thinking about how women (final girls) will be the ones to save us from the connected horrors of capitalism, imperialism, settler colonial, white supremacy.
Think Bree Newsome Bass’ badassery with the flag.

So scared of knowledge.
So scared of learning.
So sad.
Never forget.
Knowledge is power.
This….this.
What is one book that stayed with you in the last couple of years? 📚💙 #booksky
I'll go first ... Sofia Samatar's The Practice, the Horizon, and the Chain. Short and lyrical, kind of perfect.

Rev. Jesse Jackson built the Rainbow Coalition as a political home rooted in dignity and solidarity. That struggle continues here in New York City, in every fight for housing, justice, and equality.
Today, we lower our flags in his honor — and recommit to the movement he called us to build.
Cameras, cameras in phones, fancy markers, espresso machines, puffy paint, inkless printers ... too many to express
Our communities are not safer with an LAPD that chooses to not enforce a mask ban but encourages arresting the parents of students who protest against ICE.
