Anti techno-fascist

🚨 Why does Hakeem Jeffries feel so weak and absent when democracy is under siege? Why did Democrats pick a “nice but feckless” leader when we need a wartime general? Let’s talk about what’s really going on — and who the Dems should be putting front and center. 🧵

I think she is being asked to implicate others (starting with Clinton) while somehow managing to avoid implicating Trump, including in Congressional testimony. It's a bit dicey, but David Markus is a far better lawyer than Todd Blanche, and it's pretty clear he's the brains of the org.

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, David Markus, is personal friends with Todd Blanche. Todd Blanche is Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney and Deputy Attorney General. Blanche will be speaking to Maxwell, on Trump's behalf, in the next several days. How do you say, "corruption" in American?

1. Dangle pardon for Maxwell 2. Coerce her into implicating prominent political opponent(s) 3. Crank up exculpatory disinformation machine 4. Drop Fox lawsuit if they run the disinfo 5. Pardon Maxwell, prosecute straw man/men

Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush deliver rare open criticism of the Trump administration — and singer Bono held back tears as he recited a poem — in an emotional video farewell on Monday with staffers of the U.S. Agency for International Development. apnews.com/article/obam...

The president of Aix-Marseilles University is welcoming US scientific refugees.He "likened the situation to that of European academics who fled persecution by Nazi Germany both before and during World War II" www.politico.eu/article/meet...

Data & Society’s Jacob Metcalf writes that whenever you hear someone advocating for acceleration, you should ask: accelerating toward what? Today’s techno-accelerationists aim to undo generations of slow, arduous progress toward social, political, and economic equality, he says.

I love how MAGA warps history, like how they never seem to recall the most prolific antisemite of all time was not Muslim, but a "German Christian," who would have fit in nicely with American Christian nationalism.

I talk to people all the time who want to know what they can do to start fighting back against Donald Trump. The answer is simple: Use your voice.

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

Mahmoud Khalil, Palestinian student and academic, has been released after more than three months of being held in illegal detention. Khalil was detained by ICE from his Columbia-owned housing in a politically motivated assault. 1/2 #GazaHolocaust

This is the politicization of law enforcement. It's not about "immigration," it's about demonizing cities and winning elections

"In its annihilative force and ambition, the Israeli campaign is unique among modern conflicts. In fact, the term 'war crime' is not even adequate for what's happening in Gaza." A searing, essential piece by Suzy Hansen:

LET’S MAKE SURE THIS PATRIOT IS PROTECTED!!! 🚨DISTURBING: Airman Christian Stephens posted a video saying he’s not proud to serve under Trump and disapproves of ICE. Now it’s gone—replaced with a chilling message that he was forced into a psych hold, despite not being a threat. Please share.

With his popularity slipping through his fingers, I'm worried what depths Trump will fall to. www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/trump-will...

Can't believe that this unknown rapper is the only concert for Gaza or f US democracy or anti fascism or USAID dying kids ! We need 10 times Live AID concerts every week end against all this fascist virus. Time to show your guts ! What's the point in being rich if you stay silent and scared.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

This is an ominous step toward martial law. The time for mobilizing peacefully but massively against this dangerous progression is NOW. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Must read : this is exactly way is at stake. Trump must be impeached and the tech bros put under strict control and laws voted to INCREASE taxes on billionaires

Why are Trump and certain tech billionaires trying to build new dystopian cities and democracy-free "zones"? It reflects a scary tech idea called "The Network State." For @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I wrote about why you should be deeply concerned 👇 www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

This is a con job all the time. With uncertainty on tariffs and rule of law I can safely predict Fall in foreign investments in the US. I mean promises and deals with Trump are so easy to break, and rich fascists around the world apart from Arabs are not many.

--> DOGE had no direct authority. The real decisions came from the agency heads appointed by Trump, who were wise to let DOGE act as the fall guy for unpopular decisions That was the point for Trump. For Musk, DOGE was a cover to destroy investigations into his businesses, saving over $2.3 billion.

Elon Musk claims he's leaving the Trump administration. So what is *actually* going on with DOGE now? WIRED spoke to a fired DOGE staffer about who was really in charge, using Signal for communications 🫠, and what he thinks will happen next. A scoop:

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

As Americans, we're constantly flooded with propaganda telling us that punishment is the only solution to society’s problems. This mindset is baked into our culture—fed to us by media giants who profit from keeping us fearful, passive, and numb. We have to unlearn it. We have to resist it.
