The way "Addictiveness-is-everything" social media is breaking people and societies reminds me more and more of the Opium Wars

I'm not trying to demoralize newly politicized people. It's good that y'all are here now. That said, a lot of the atrocities happening today are not "new", including militarized occupation of a city, extermination camps, execution of dissidents on American streets - they are, however, new to you

using federal resources to illegally seize the goods of another country and then diverting the proceeds to accounts only the president can control is the kind of thing the framers would’ve seen these men hanged for

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Great read. Great ending.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Once upon a time @radleybalko.bsky.social suggested that the rules of evidence should dictate that whenever the state can't produce video, from a body cam for example, it should be weighed presumptively against the state, and I wish we'd listened.

Completely unoriginal thought but: it's frustrating that the actual experience of living in large cosmopolitan multicultural city (London Uk in my case) is actually pretty dope, but a lot of politics is organised around this being a nightmare scenario that must be apologised for and avoided.

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

If we're all to blame for this then we're *all* to blame. If we're going to pick and choose, we can just blame the people who voted for him.

Hallo @megueyb.bsky.social. Back in the G+ days, I think it was, you had a gorgeous thing with tiny dragons guarding a hoard, of buttons, pins or etc.

Is that still around somewhere? Maybe purchasable? I'd like to share it with some friends.

(and if not, thank you for the lovely memory).

And the way you do that is beating them, which is why the anti-Harris absenteism was so self-destructive: we'll have a decade or more of a desperate fight against fascism because MAGA won *two* 'miracle' victories instead of a single fluke.

And yet, that is our road, because there is no other.

So the weapon she helped build to kill LGBTQ people…every single person who voted for Trump did so to bring harm to someone else. Now the gun is pointed at her and you know who is rushing to her defense…liberals…of all shades and sexual orientations. I bet the lesson does not set in.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Suggestion regarding Trump-Epstein:

Don't focus on finding a smoking gun. There's already so much smoke. Most unconvinced by already-public evidence are cultists who'll deny forever (or like it).

The goals should be truth, justice for victims, and an appalled scandal drumbeat that never goes away.
