from "Classical Studies memes for Hellenistic teens" on FB

Plato's Cave allegory, illustrated. the shadows on the cave wall are captioned "increasingly insane and extreme positions", the prisoners labeled "internet users", the figures holding the shadow's shapes labeled "algorithms", the fire labeled "random internet users expressing their idiosyncratic beliefs". the space above the cave is labeled "literally just outside" and the philosopher freed from the chains of the physical world labeled "guy who logs off"

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I was able to find these in my school’s library today. I've been wanting to read them for a while now, and I'm beyond elated. College libraries are a treasure trove for book lovers. I'm grateful to have found these gems. The journey of learning feels limitless! #CUNY #booksky #readingispolitical

Suppose you're interested in global solidarity movements, postcolonialism, or understanding Africa’s role in shaping global revolutions. Please add this to your list. #booksky #PostcolonialStudies #RevolutionaryReads #RadicalHistory

I recently reread this book for one of my classes. It unveils the untold stories of a continent’s revolutionary ties. It explores the powerful intersections of politics, culture, and solidarity. A must-read for those interested in tearing down the empire and radical change.

The cover of Kevin Ochieng's book Red Africa features bold red and black colors and a striking image of a clenched fist, symbolizing resistance and revolution. The title is in large, clear font at the center, with the author’s name displayed below. The background hints at an outline of Africa on a map, emphasizing the book’s focus on the continent’s political and cultural history.

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

canceling the commissary — and i would assume, exchange — program is a one way ticket to getting a bonus army situation. for those unaware, the commissaries and exchanges are subsidized grocery and department stores for service members, veterans and their families.

I just finished reading this tonight, and I couldn’t recommend this book enough. Rethinking home, power, and justice—Abolish Rent challenges the foundations of housing inequality and dares us to imagine a world where shelter is a right, not a commodity. #booksky #fuckgenetrification

As Texas hides abortion ban deaths, it’s clear: controlling data is an age-old propaganda tool. Suppressing the facts on maternal mortality ultimately leads to injustice & suffering. The truth is powerful & we deserve to know it. Jason Stanley & @profmmurray.bsky.social join me at 10a ET on #Velshi

Libraries matter now more than ever. They stand for the powerful idea that knowledge is free and belongs to everyone. In a time when books and free thought are under threat, we must defend and support our libraries and librarians—they are guardians of access, learning, and freedom.
