I had a description, but I realized I'm just yelling into the void.
FWIW, I'm into epistemology, DS/AI/ML, and math, but I'm mostly angry at fascists now.
My posts are my own and don't reflect the dispositions of any other person, entity, or institution.

If you want to know the state of our country and the minds of Republicans, just remember how they always have money to fund state violence, even in a federal shutdown, but just can't find money to feed hungry citizens. They'll always pay for bombs over butter.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.
They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.
But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.
RIP, Jamal.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out
As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I’m not surprised by Miller plagiarizing Goebbels for his speech. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is the most unoriginal administration ever. Nothing this fascism brings to the table is new.The fact they aren’t even trying for originality was why it was so easy to identify as fascism

When a government declares citizens its terrorists not because of actions of those citizens but by opportunistic, antidemocratic, dictatorial fiat, it loses its legitimacy to govern. It's just illegitimate state violence now.
See it clearly for what it is.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Like Sartre said, death draws the line for summing of a man, and the balance in this case is black and white when you bring out, vocal neo-Nazi supporters to the streets.

This is so important…
Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.
In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.
REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

The Christian right always said that allowing gay marriage would bring down society. The implication was that it would be because of gay folks doing mysterious bad shit.
But it was actually a threat - these Christians were saying they were willing to go full fascist rather than be kind.
Silly us.

To think just a few months ago I didn't think I could practically survive without Amazon or Target, only to have successfully migrated all of my purchasing elsewhere, including medical, streaming, housewares, grocery, etc.
And this pissed off consumer is saving a ton of money sticking it to them.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Our protests need to prepare us for action, to exercise latent political muscle, and to be ready for exposure against a system which is escalating against us. Our eyes need to be open about what it will take. Stonewall was a riot, people were lynched during Jim Crow, etc.
