we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

museums are cool because the people who work there are like look at this neat thing and you're like wow that is neat and you just do it over and over again until it is time to go

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

VOLITION - Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

Whoever called it “protagonist of reality” syndrome really hit the nail on the head, it’s so pervasive and so weird to see
The number of people who either cannot read or cannot imagine anything *not* being about them or for them on this site is astounding.

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats.

"The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said.

“Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

We felt the shift. It didn’t matter that we have experience, earned degrees and head households. We were ‘too uppity’ in wanting success that didn’t completely involve service to everyone.
A decision was made in nov 2024 that was not simply a repudiation of one Black woman

But a repudiation of Black womanhood

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Hell yeah. Listen to this shit.

The Feds are disappearing people and the local officials are telling people not to stand up to that and let them do it. Yes
Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

The justification is the lie.

The premise is that they should be able to do whatever for a white ruled ethno state until they don’t need the justification
Just a regular reminder that the ENTIRE premise behind the draconian and militaristic immigration enforcement we have been witnessing the past year is based on an empirically disproven lie.

I have always told my white students that they can acknowledge the harm that white supremacy has done, and choose to repair that harm, but I've advised them not to stay there.

You do have some fierce AF ancestors, too. It's just that we don't learn about them or what we learn is lies *on purpose.*

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.

Time to claim your true history.

Apparently the State Department, led Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, released a strategic plan. Goal 1 is U.S. National Sovereignty. Goal 2 is "The Western Hemisphere and Establishment of the Donroe Doctrine."

There's more, but take that in.

Agency Strategic Plan - United States Department of State
The Agency Strategic Plan sets forth the vision and direction for how the Department will implement U.S. foreign policy and foreign assistance.
