Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine: “I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”

the only shared experience i remember is fear, of my neighbors, as american flags suddenly appeared in front of almost every house

Shaily Patel@vox-magica.bsky.social · 3w ago

wild, because me and mine did not have this shared experience. the fact that you don’t recognize the intense racism that proliferated post-9/11 tells me you can’t see the current political situation clearly, either.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social stabbed us in the back eh? perhaps i will not be voting in the texas elections this year then

did not know right-wing politics and analytic philosophy had this intersection 🤔

You can never lick the boot well enough to make them accept you.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

The most surprising realization I had in the last years was how important it is to be public about your refusal to participate in harmful acts therefore giving others "permission" to do so as well. It really matters.

Believing that other people are real is antifascist praxis.

there's an irony in the fact that one of the main problem people in this domain used to be a philosopher of fiction writing quite literally about imagination

Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social · 3w ago

I’m sure that there is a certain amount of natural variability in the human capacity to hold a theory of mind or take another’s perspective, but I also think these are imaginative acts that can be practiced, if one is willing and believes there is value in making the effort.

Terror Lists to Shield the Gangster Capitalism of a Lunatic State: From ICE Raids to Palestine

if someone out there still believes that "terrorist" is an objective and non-ideological word/concept (plug: paper in process)

They are also stopping road traffic - we are told that this is a serious act of "terrorism", entailing long prison sentences, when done for environmental reasons?

nice to see it become mainstream for semanticists to do epistemology

Shocking abdication of scholarly ethics by the American Historical Association which hired a Washington DC lobbying firm to ensure anticipatory obedience and quash a popular movement to condemn Israeli scholasticide in Gaza: www.chronicle.com/article/a-sc...

this is the first time I have seen Noam Chomsky and Varg Vikernes referenced together and it gives me a certain amusement

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

How many students were kicked off their campuses for protesting this stuff? It's not just the psychotic openly genocidal propaganda, it's that the people in power in the US made it so that if you criticize this openly, your life could be destroyed.

Nathan Tankus@nathantankus.bsky.social · 4w ago

Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.

I find it genuinely shocking that people don't universally recognize the phrase "biological men" both as a dogwhistle and as a way of framing a conversation that assumes a highly specific conclusion. Don't forget: "A is a biological X" implies that A is an X! Not ok!

Sydney Bauer@sydney-bauer.com · last mo.

The infiltration of the phrase “biological men in women’s sports” is one of the most insidious things to happen in the last 5 years of journalism.

am I misremembering or did people in all historical eras were scared of eclipses and *avoided* the path of totality?

honestly a little surprised that aipac would just come out and say they would rather have a republican govt in the us, with all the horrors that brings, than someone who supports rights for palestinians
