From Josh Marshall
This observation from Adam Carlson is one of the most clarifying I've seen about the standing of the White House. The President's approval is down significantly across a variety of metrics but that decline is being significantly muted by relatively strong approval on border/immigration.
[Rascism and cruelty is alive and well in America]

1968. Charleston, South Carolina.
Fannie Lou Hamer, who Lyndon Baines Johnson allegedly called “that ignorant woman,” speaks:
“People is not just walking out like they used to do in the past—walking up and shooting a man down and getting maybe two or three hundred people carryin’ out and lynching you…”
“But it’s in a more settled way now.
They let you starve to death. Not give you jobs.”

So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.
But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.
Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

Linux communities beware of #PewDiePie fans
Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists.
Now #PewDiePie , who’s content centers around PC gaming and Windows, has decided to switch to #Linux and published a video encouraging his followers to do the same. This means a very large number of his #fascist fan base is going to be switching to Linux.
Now many Linux communities are going to be forced to more explicitly choose their politics. Like the parable of the Nazi bar, if the community remains politically neutral, it will become fascist in short order.
A few things to be wary of:
- People asking you not to be “too political” or to “focus on the technology, not the politics” is a classic and highly effective fascist ruse to get moderators to lighten up on fascist elements posting in their community.
- People complaining about free speech rights. The #Internet and the #Fediverse is already a domain where people can speak freely about their politics by running their own server and building their own community with few to no government constraints. You don’t need to compromise on whether fascists have the right to free speech in your community.
- Arguments over your code of conduct (CC) and “safe spaces.” Keep them up-to-date. Research other people’s CCs, learn about the history of why these CCs came to be, learn about what the function of each clause of the code is included and phrased the way it is. These were usually designed to make explicit the fact that a community wants to be a safe space where underprivileged people can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and it is very easy to make people afraid to express themselves. Fascists understand these CCs and the concept of “safe spaces” were explicitly designed to exclude them, and often attack these ideas.

'A lot of working-class people, they don’t want a lot', says Martin a former miner. 'They want enough to get by & to have nicer things in life. To go on holiday & to have good food and things like that. They are not bothered about yachts and aeroplanes... They are just happy enough to get through in life with a job, a secure job to pay the mortgage & to look after their family'
And the problem is the UK *doesn't* achieve even that for many!
Really y’all, it’s a good time to rewatch the Jimmy Saville doc on Netflix and think about Trump.
Not because suggesting Trump is a serial abuser of vulnerable underage targets, but only to refresh on how a human lizard hides in plain sight.
And how it’s enabled.

Today I published my latest book, "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland". It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.
How are we meant to survive in a Wasteland of capitalism and patriarchal control?
My new book "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland" tries to answer that question honestly. It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.

Canada was poised to elect its own 'Maple MAGA' movement. Then Trump happened.
Some Canadian Conservatives told NBC News they voted Liberal for the first time in Monday's election in a rejection of Pierre Poilievre's seemingly Trump-inspired campaign

#trump finally admitted that the #economy isn't doing well.
However in true Republican fashion, he didn't actually take responsibility for anything like an adult.
He blamed it on the past like a child, which I don't think surprised anyone. #maga wouldn't know responsibility if it hit them in the face - the problems in the #usa are never their fault, it's all the libtard Democrats, Biden, or Obama despite him not being in office for a LONG time.

I would recommend all our friends that have a genuine interest to understand what the hell is going one right now to looking into #dialecticalmaterialism and get a grasp of #politicaleconomy
If you do not understand those words, no worry. Dialectical materialism is a Marxist term for the concept that everything changes through the constant movement and struggle between opposing aspects determine a thing.
External factors affect this internal struggle but cannot transform the thing itself. Conditioned by external factors embedded within a broader system of contradictions, this internal process drives all developments in our material reality.
Looking at how we produce things in that way is called political economy and helps to understand capitalism in detail.

I’m currently reading through the article and it’s unfortunate that the platform is hated by so many people (because Nazi indulgent platform) because this hits the nail on the head and anyone interested in history politics or anthropology should appreciate it.
The thesis is in line with the observation that Trump gives permission to his followers to become their worst selves. This is the bond that binds MAGA together.

Do you want to know what insults Jesus?

Deporting moms and babies.

The European Commission told TikTok to “change several key features, including disabling infinite scrolling, setting strict screen time breaks and changing its recommender systems. The demand follows the Commission's declaration that TikTok’s design is addictive to users.”
Now do the same for the US services!

Gaming out a society of psychopaths. The funny part about.. that I game out, is that no society of psychopaths who all understand that everyone is out to rule the world like they are would ever tolerate any level of wealth inequality. Such as society would tend to converge on constant warfare and destruction or tyranny and destruction…
If we were exactly like what conservatives say you would never tolerate billionaires

UPDATE: a spokesperson from JP Morgan Chase told the Texas Observer they fired the operator of a neo-Nazi X account who we identified as their employee.
"This person is no longer at the firm. We do not tolerate hate in any form and take incidents such as this very seriously."
