Fascism isn't a disease. Fascism isn't a disability. Fascism isn't a lack of education. Fascism isn't foreign.
Fascism is a defence of established power and privilege through the dehumanisation of anyone that challenges it.

the people who think they're radicals cos they've fixed their political spectrum at the French revolution in 1789
rather than at US independence in 1766
they're the left of the US mainstream because the mainstream is incredibly conservative and right wing

This ongoing genocide shows us that international law will be a sham until it can deal with atrocities in real time and prevent the loss of life and living that is happening in Gaza.
Yet the attacks continue unabated, tents are flooded, and people are left homeless, their every attempt at stability and security thwarted.
World, Israel is deceiving you, trampling on your humanity, breaking every promise, and failing to implement any of the agreed-upon terms.

I really believe the tech bros build Ai systems to give confident, if often wrong, answers because that works for them. That’s what they do every day. They don’t understand that most people *need* to be correct, that they don’t have thirteen safety nets to catch them if they make a mistake.

Somehow people will still balk when folks talk about how the roots of policing are slavery and anti Blackness.
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.
