Tonight begins the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. May a sukkat shalom — a shelter of peace — spread over our city. To all celebrating: Gut Yontif and Chag Sukkot Sameach!

Thank you to all readers, booksellers, and the entire team at our publishers, Farrar, Straus and Giroux. #2! @astra.bsky.social
We are so excited to be in the UK and Ireland next week. Come hear us talk about the politicians, religious leaders, and tech oligarchs who want us to believe they can bring about the end of the world.
As you know, I have a problem with the whole armageddon/golden city narrative arc so I decided to have a word with god and Jesus about it. They were awfully defensive! @astra.bsky.social @thegodshow.com
It's not flooding the zone, it's seizing a crisis in order to ram through a slew of rapid fire changes that are a gift to multinational corporations and are the opposite of what we ran on. What do you call that again?
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 5d agoA reporter asked the government about the Trumpian tactic of flooding the zone with this bill (it’s an omnibus!) and the ministers appear outraged. They balk at a question that…accurately characterizes what they’re doing. If you don’t like it, don’t do it!
What is the tech industry truly afraid of? Is it the AI they have unleashed, as they want us to believe? Or is it…all of us, standing up to them? Thanks to Chris Hayes for having us on.
Steve Bannon is trying to pivot the surging movement against tech fascism into a hot war with China. We shouldn't let him. @astra.bsky.social youtu.be/gWzLUJEoKHg
The AI fight can bring us together - or co-opt our movements

On CNN's Amanpour Astra answered the question that’s on lots of people’s minds this week: How should we understand all of the Silicon Valley executives and engineers warning that AI might destroy humanity? Her advice: watch what they do more than what they say. @astra.bsky.social
Fixed it. Also thank you! Also please support independent booksellers whenever you can! @astra.bsky.social
The heart of end times fascism is an abandonment of this world. Heaven is either celestial or computational, but not earthly. Not here. It’s why so many people are already rising up. Most people actually like it here. Thank you to CNN International’s Amanpour for having us.
Should Astra and I work on our resting apocalypse faces? OR should we lean into our natural “friendly-neighborhood-witches-trying-to-save-the-world-from-planet-burning demons” vibes?
On Democracy Now!, I floated a new theory: AI companies really have unleashed a killer monster that has slipped their control. But plot twist - the monster is human. And it's the President of the United States. @astra.bsky.social @democracynow.org
The Irish musician Aaron Rowe has said he is withdrawing as a support act on Ed Sheeran’s tour.
Big thanks to @redemmas.org in Baltimore for giving us the perfect tote bag for the End Times Fascism book tour. Out today! @astra.bsky.social naomiklein.org/end-times-fa...
Actually @astra.bsky.social is a better reader than I am, such a joy to read (and write) this book together!
Adi 🍉@adigoesswimming.bsky.social · 2w agoJust an FYI that if you are an audiobook reader, Klein is a really engaging narrator. I haven't listened to anything by Taylor yet but I'm sure this is going to be worth the read.
Every age has its own Fascism, and we see the warning signs wherever the concentration of power denies citizens the possibility and the means of expressing and acting on their own will. —PRIMO LEVI us.macmillan.com/books/978037...

Beautiful excerpt from Klein & Taylor's new book. Reading this along with Wendell Berry & Kingsolver's essay. Heartening & smart.

The end times fascists are plotting their escape from our world. Our mission is clear
An unholy alliance is working toward an apocalyptic future from which only a chosen few will emerge unscathed. It’s becoming clear how we stop them
theguardian.com
But is it fascism? Do they really yearn for apocalypse? Isn't that polarizing? Shouldn't we be nice to them? We made a short video so folks can hear the end timers in their own words and judge for themselves: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK2n...

They are in so deep they don't know what's true. They are begging us to stop them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "My view here is it has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company ... I think the government and the public needs to have a stake. And that's why we've supported regulation."

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor: the future according to end times fascism

I preordered this book, and cannot wait for its release next Tuesday. Klein has always managed to channel both rage and hope, a tough and vital balancing act these days.
Naomi Klein@naomiaklein.bsky.social · 2w ago"People are really mad and however mad you are, it’s not enough. Because there is something so profound about no longer believing in the future, about seeing no value in our shared home, in the natural world. They’re traitors to creation.” www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...
“The business model that they have embraced is uniquely antithetical to shared human existence” 🤯 @naomiaklein.bsky.social is speaking the terrifying truth, we are witnessing it happen. This isn’t just “pr” and those saying so are in denial. Get mad and demand accountability.

"Part of the new shamelessness we’re seeing is just what happens when this amount of financial, mediagenic, technological and military weaponry is concentrated in the hands of this very small, unaccountable group of people. They stop trying to seduce us in any way.” @naomiaklein.bsky.social #BOOM
