African-Americans have always knew the harsh truths about Western society this entire time, dating as far back as the slavery era. Yet white people and even non-black POC constantly silence us for speaking those truths. They are very likely to be terrified of those truths whether they realize it or not, because acknowledging them would heavily challenge their worldview and ego, their sense of 'self' or 'status' in this world.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice to pause enforcing a nearly half-century-old law that prohibits U.S. companies and foreign firms from bribing officials of foreign governments to obtain or retain business.

Trump is a disaster. No question about that. But our troubles did not begin with him.
Corporate Democrats are just as eager to sell us out and destroy everything for the sake of Business As Usual, Wall Street, and Big Oil.
Listen to the clip below from an interview Barack Obama gave last year.
He says climate change might be a problem, but we can handle it. Although there's no way now to keep global warming below 2°C, that shouldn’t be so bad. And if we work hard, we might be able to stay at around 3°C … but the important thing is, stop worrying! Don't complain about the system. Everything is under control.
This is absolutely criminal. That much extra heat will destroy modern civilization. Billions of people will die, along with millions of species of plants and animals going extinct. The world as we know it will end.
There still *could* be a way to prevent all that. But it requires system change. The end of capitalism. It requires #Degrowth.
And no one in a position of power wants to hear that.

I feel really bad for the 75m Americans that voted for Harris, that you got stuck with a President that continuously gets compared intellectually and emotionally to an unruly toddler
There's been a huge wave of Canadian patriotism lately, but we're here for those 75m of you (not the 77m who voted for trump, or the 90m who just didn't vote)
So when we say "Buy Canadian" and "F America", we don't mean you 75m. We still love you. But we're still pissed

Just imagine a Democratic candidate wondered aloud "why not default on US bonds?"
BREAKING: A bunch of U.S. Digital Service employees (including me) were fired tonight. It's still unclear exactly how many. There is no visibility whatsoever into what determined who was let go. Legacy USDS (i.e., pre-DOGE) leadership was not involved in the decision about whom to let go and was not notified in advance that people were going to be fired.

It appears former USMC folks are leading the charge against the travesty in DC. 👏
“As a United States Marine Corps combat veteran stationed overseas their entire enlistment, this is the exact situation we are trained to look for and not participate in”
He then asked for whoever is reading the email to maintain the culture he was taught in the Marine Corps: “Honor, Courage and Commitment.”
Thinking of starting a Canadian motorcycle company—tariffs be damned!
We can do it!!

Lol Trump realizes his support is costing Conservatives votes in Canada so now he's pretending he loves the Liberal Party.
You can probably hear all of Canada rolling our eyes simultaneously.

I made this as an educational video to explain to people who are uninformed, and willing to hear what #tariffs do:
For anyone here who doesn't know-
They don't make your country money. They are designed to stop a country from trading with you, and go somewhere else, either as a consequence, or because they are overwhelming your own local market that you wish to maintain.
They COST the imposing country money.

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.

Perfectly Summarized! 🔥🔥
🗣️ QUOTE: Grow up in 🇺🇸 #America thinking that 🇮🇱 #Israel is the 51st State. Israel can do no wrong?? It's the only DEMOCRACY in the Middle East?? And so to learn THE TRUTH was harrowing and infuriating. And I felt people NEED TO KNOW the CONTEXT of the situation.
ANYONE with a SHRED OF HUMANITY is on the SIDE of the 🇵🇸 #PALESTINIANS. And that's the HOPE we have to HANG our hats on. That's the hope that we need to keep stiving for; And that what gives me Optimism, because I see the TRUTH. I see the 😴 🌐 World #WAKING_UP.
I see the Mass Movements in the streets.
THIS IS AN #AWAKENING THAT EXTENDS #BEYOND JUST OUR 🇺🇸 COUNTRY..
THIS IS #INTERNATIONAL.
🌎 🌍 🌏
This is something that's awakened people into realizing that 🇵🇸 #PALESTINIANS are OUR #BROTHERS AND #SISTERS.
The #Humanity has SPARKED 💖 something that #EMPATHY has Sparked something and that WILL ✝️ #NOT_DIE.
AND WE ARE GOING TO KEEP ⚔️ FIGHTING! And No Matter what Happens with the cease fire 🔥 I think people WILL #NEVER GO BACK.

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.
