Anti-apartheid martyr Steve Biko was killed by South Africa's apartheid government on this day in 1977. “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”

your brain processes sound and sight at different speeds. it resyncs them before handing it to the thinking bit. The "Horizon of Simultaneity" is when you're far enough from something that the diff in the speed light/sound naturally syncs the processing, reducing cognitive load. It's 15m from you.

The word "company" means "with bread" in Latin. Com (cum) =with; pane = bread.

Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

"There’s no real burden of proof. They can just say that you’re ‘antifa,’ and that becomes sort of gospel, according to the government." This is why we say that disrupting criminalization—from policing, to prosecution, to imprisonment/capital punishment—is absolutely central to fighting fascism.

The NY Times writes that “Trump’s promises to restore fiscal order and reduce the amount of America’s debt burden have been hampered by spending on the Iran war, tax cuts and tariff refunds.” As if it’s just a run of bad luck instead of an ongoing con job against the American people.

"police killings of civilians in the U.S. –who are disproportionately Black and other people of color – are the result of policies and practices that enable and even encourage police violence. Compared to police in other wealthy democracies American police kill civilians at incredibly high rates."

prisonpolicy.org

Not just “a few bad apples”: U.S. police kill civilians at much higher rates than other countries

Police violence is a systemic problem in the U.S., not simply incidental, and it happens on a scale far greater than other wealthy nations.

As an aside, if any other professionals were as incompetent as certain journalists, they'd be sacked and disbarred. But in the rightwing press, gross incompetence appears to be a qualification. After all, without its bullshitters for hire, how else would capital deny, deflect and distract?

History shows us there are 2 options when faced with a rising far right. 1. Deal with it quickly and decisively. 2. Let it win. The great majority reject it. But it doesn't need majority support: just enough thugs to intimidate everyone else. Weakness and indecision by government let it rise.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.
