I'm still forming my thoughts about this, but I think a lot of what is so powerful about @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's book is putting Jewish and socialist resistance to the tsar, to programs, and to the Nazis in this tradition of armed self-defense.

I think today's liberals in the US are used to a social environment where pogroms are rare and don't realize the role armed self defense plays in that state of affairs www.history.com/articles/red...

Also… I have now officially re-recorded the audiobook myself. Thank you to the many many many many of you who complained. I love you grousers The new audiobook should be out in a few months I tried my best with the Polish names but as Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz can attest, your language is hard

the three main stylistic influences for HERE WHERE WE LIVE IS OUR COUNTRY are Victor Serge’s Memoirs of a Revolutionary, Vasily Grossman’s Life and Fate, and William Vollman’s Europe Central

one thing about data centers is that the issue is showing people in communities all over the country just how undemocratic/opaque their public bodies are. www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article...

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social: Fight back vs. big tech? Data center revolts are happening across the country getting to the heart of our greatest political problems.

Aww, the Bund was in Camp Kinderland's 2026 Peace Olympics. Along with Quilombo dos Palmares, The Paris Commune and the Zapatistas

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

"By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.
