Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

My only critique is that it's not only sociology but the whole of the humanities that are being destroyed. Western Civilization doctrine will exist within academia for the ultra rich as a form of leisure. Since AI will, in their minds, handle the rest. Poor peole are gristle meant to be disposed.

As I said earlier, I recommend people read Cristina Beltran's Cruelty as Citizenship. www.upress.umn.edu/978151791192... This is how white democracy is made and maintained, cruel, unrepentant violence.

Mexico enshrined universal healthcare in its CONSTITUTION after the Revolution of 1910. It was the first democracy in the world to do so. Read Elizabeth O'Brien's Surgery and Salvation to learn more.

Welcome to Black Studies @chrislhayes.bsky.social. Black studies scholars have been writing about the violence of Reconstruction period for decades. It's no wonder that Rufo and others want to destroy Black Studies. It speaks truth to white power.

It's not a polarization problem as pundits would have us believe. It's not an "all sides need to calm down" situation. Racists and misogynists dominate American politics and control government. The other is fighting against that. It's not polarization, but a battle to protect a pluralist democracy.

The fact that ANYONE thought Rufo was not a white nationalist is bonkers to me. He's been clear about it from the jump. Legacy media keeps platforming these bastards and then 🤷🏻‍♀️ when they come out as full blown racists.

FAFO aside, his shock is a great distillation of how whiteness as a social construct is built around shattering communal understanding of our interconnected human ecosystem in favor of a mythical individualism How whiteness leaves its adherents defenseless against our shared oppressors: capitalists
