this is specifically what Twitter was re-engineered to do, btw. it exists almost solely to threaten anyone at the flashpoint of a nascent social movement.

If I may get on my soap box: No Kings is a tactic. It is not the strategy and no one involved in putting it on considers it sufficient on its own. It's a mass show of defiance that's also served as an onramp to the kind of local organizing work that's necessary to shift power

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

Higher education is one field where much of the reporting is rooted in nostalgia for the memories of their own narrow past rather than a reckoning with the realities of the wider present.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

… in 2017. Then Ken Martin became chair, passed a resolution establishing the DNC would be neutral in primaries. And now people are attacking them for not putting their thumb on the scale to support progressives in primaries? Make up your minds.

After 48 hours of torture, Dr. Christie wrote a forced confession — “the best thing I ever wrote,” he later told the BBC, noting that he had made sure the confession included “all my recommendations to the African National Congress” about the best way to sabotage Koeberg and other facilities.

“And, gloriously, the judge read it out in court,” Dr. Christie added. “So my recommendations went from the judge’s mouth” straight to the A.N.C.
Two years later, in December 1982, Koeberg was bombed by white A.N.C. operatives who had gotten jobs at the facility. They followed Dr. Christie’s instructions to the letter.

Illustration of Twitter's iconic bird logo bludgeoned to death by the X logo. Copy reads: 

"As of today, I will no longer be using X.”To anyone running for office — especially my opponents — I encourage you to break from Twitter as well.

Stop paying for a checkmark.

Stop advertising on X.

Just imagine if I’d created the Outsiders Project on homelessness by typing prompts into a computer. The images may have been striking but the whole thing would be meaningless. Documenting real and tangible human experiences, the emotions, stories, joy and sadness is something AI can never do.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.
A propaganda poster in a painterly style. At the top there is a Nazi soldier in a faded grey with his hands raised at the point of a bayonet. Above him it says "We beat 'em before.." Below him in darker grey is an ICE agent in the same posture, with a hand pushing back at him, its palm out in a "stop" gesture. Below it says "We'll beat 'em again!"

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.
