Brett "Solidarity 2026" Banditelli@banditelli.org · yesterdayI should just not watch the Phillies. This is what I’m learning again.
We don't understand as much about our collective histories for this gaping chasm.
Jill Hasday@jillhasday.bsky.social · 2d agoOn this day in 1876, Mary Ritter Beard was born. Her 1946 book, Woman as Force in History, criticized male historians for ignoring women. She argued that women “have been a force in making all the history that has been made.” A male reviewer called Beard’s book “rather waspish.” #WeTheMen

Butter cows and insane deviled eggs. Must be the Ohio State Fair:
Pollsters are trying their best. They really are. We’ve just reached the limit of what you can do to make something look like an approximately random sample when you have to attempt 150,000 contacts to get 500 responses.
You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
The panopticon pushers want to make sure you have no say in building the police state
Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · 4d agoExclusive: We obtained a leaked playbook that Flock gives to cops to coach them on "how to speak to city council" to avoid getting their contracts canceled. Includes strategies like "own the narrative" by talking to mayor "before public comment periods" www.404media.co/own-the-narr...
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
Dockworkers unions in six countries are calling for a big escalation on Oct 30 to protest war and militarization. They're urging strikes, protests, refusal to handle arms, demanding an end to US-Israeli war on Iran, genocide of Palestinians. They're urging dockworkers around the world to take part.

When I was about 10 or 11, my grandmother's house got burglarized. We called the cops, they shuffled around for a few minutes and started to leave. They laughed at me when I asked, incredulously, why they weren't taking any fingerprints. So that's my formative cop experience.
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 6d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
If you have the opportunity to see the Hadestown live capture film in your local movie theater you absolutely should. Sublime stuff.

imagine being so cooked by ketamine and fascist snuff films that you make the editor in chief of *the economist* look like a bold defender of truth by comparison
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 2w agoMusk was humiliated in his interview with The Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes. She called him out on his bullshit, pointed out his lies and ignorance and extreme prejudice. We need more interviews like that. This is the response of the world’s thinnest-skinned man.
it's incredible what our society is apparently willing to light completely on fire just to ensure no one ever utters a single critique of one foreign country. disgraceful
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 2w agoMamdani criticizes Netanyahu. Later, a crazy man stabs a Jewish man and an Asian man. And we get an article suggesting that while one stabbing (dismissed in six words) is just a shrug, the other implicates the mayor. Disgraceful framing. Shame on everyone involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/n...
In honor of the re-release, it’s worth emphasizing that what made Black Flag such a fan favorite and unique for its time was its insistence on sea travel (few “fast travel” options) through the map and the robust world-building that accompanied it, including an amazing collection of sea shanties.
New in @jacobinmag.bsky.social: The Mamdani administration is launching an initiative to help build tenant unions.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”
It is professionally irresponsible and intellectually dishonest to say nice things about world-historical amoral cowards who actively sought to harm hundreds of millions of people at home and abroad. Talk your shit and teach your students appropriately.
