Newsom is terrible in multiple ways, but for people in my (vaguely hand waving) arts and entertainment industry - this particular shitty position will ensure that it's even more difficult to make a living in this world. And it will explicitly empower fascists. So into the trash with this one!

"Liberation is not the absence of structure. Liberation is structure that is accountable to the people it serves." open.substack.com/pub/zuhdae/p...

Your critique of structure is a trauma response

And it's why we see so many slogans and very little discipline or organization.

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom. GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.

Ironically, France's government did a study several years ago that found there was no safe or technically feasible way to mandate online age verification without massively expanding surveillance and eviscerating online privacy. They decided to do it anyway.

France just became the first nation in Europe to ban teens from social media and, you guessed it, they’re forcing everyone to upload their ID’s for social media access in order to enforce it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia. It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

You could get mad about dead senator discourse *or* you could enjoy this video of sea lions who have retaken an island with a decommissioned lighthouse off the coast of Oregon and now use the staircase as a giant slide.

Video shows ICE agents slamming a man’s head against a stone wall. He was reportedly taken to the hospital. Agents are then seen threatening to shoot legal observers with tasers. The incident reportedly occurred outside the Kane County Judicial Center in the St. Charles suburb of Chicago, Illinois.

Super disingenuous framing by HuffPost. Look. I'm the king of calling Bernie and his Bernie Bros and the DSA Bros out on their anti-Black racism. This is not that. He was asking a *Black leftist*, how they address nonsense from *Black centrist* because as a white leftist, this is not his place.

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org · 4w ago

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social Assigned Media finds NYT ran 5 trans sports stories after recent SCOTUS ruling but none quoted trans ppl. This continues its run of being the most likely major outlet to run multiple trans pieces but least likely to quote trans ppl. Grow up, Sulzberger.

As in the murders of Silverio Villegas-González, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, the mercenaries who murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo have brazenly lied about the events. Don't want your community terrorized by masked paramilitaries who murder and lie with impunity? The only answer is to abolish ICE.

Amee Vanderpool@girlsreallyrule.bsky.social · 4w ago

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Trans people are an overwhelmingly working class demographic. Our communities, organizing and resistance poses a threat to the hierarchies the gentry (even the "progressive" ones, even the handful of gatekeeping trans gentry) rely on. The oppression of trans people is also a front in the class war.

An elderly Florida man sent a postcard to Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia that just read: "You lack values". So Ingoglia decided to prove it.

The owner of X is embracing an explicitly fascist ideology which is opposed to liberalism, universal suffrage, and racial equality—and yet every Democrat in Congress and most journalists still use his website every day. It’s absolutely disgusting.

This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."

Miriam Adelson is horrible, but she's horrible because she's a billionaire buying elections. Thomas Massie can't make a principled critique of all billionaires, because that would lead him to leftism, so he has to single out the "Tel Aviv born" ones. He knows exactly what he's doing here.
