“Hold my bee - on second thought
It’s *not about the individual. It’s not about the system failing anyone (and, of course the system fails everyone). Obviously gun commerce is a problem. Yet these talking points go aaalllllll the way around the central issue. White supremxcist organizing online practically endorsed by social media.
Here's this week's Better Offline monologue, where I consider what would happen if I'm right about the AI bubble bursting - and the consequences of both three years of myth-peddling journalism and markets addicted to growth at all costs. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline
States have a lot of power to dictate health policy for their residents. The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a public health order to help ensure all New Mexicans can access the COVID-19 vaccine. I hope other states follow suit. www.nmhealth.org/news/vaccine...
My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias
But also idk. We can do this whenever y’all are ready we don’t have to wait for him to die.

Also, this is a significant moment, a huge one. I don't know if there's another hiring freeze on at Meta right now. Their only hiring freeze is for the thing that everybody says is the future. Will they spin it as "efficiency"? Sure. I don't think it will play that way for long. Blood in the water.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahha hell yeah dude
I mean, they are singing from the same sheet of music in a way - shareholders. If the big whale shareholders have decided LLMs are over, CEOs will change their tune very quickly.

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky
The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts
Very important to understand that reports of people pretending to be ICE agents in order to terrorize communities is very much the point and the strategy in the first place. The bedrock white conservative ideal is that white people can do whatever they want to whoever they want for any reason.
Jeffries is going to need Mamdani more than Mamdani currently needs Jeffries. lol
For the second night in a row, DC locals heckled officers participating in Trump's crackdown. As the federal government consolidates a police state, our best hope is to direct so much loathing at these mercenaries that they cannot recruit enough scum to fill the streets. bsky.app/profile/dcmi...
If you're not in DC and wondering how to help out.

Palestinians have been steadfastly struggling against the Israeli state’s colonization for over 77 years. As we stand with them, we’re all in a process of continual unlearning of Zionism, and learning about the history of the colonization of Palestine, and Palestinian opposition to these forces.

Oh by the way, don’t forget you can ask your library to order nearly any book you want to read but don’t want to buy. And as authors we love libraries buying our books & readers being able to access them through libraries.
I'm the wrong person to tell 'that can't happen.' I think anything is possible. You have to build the power to impose your will.
...maybe it's tricky because some of us equate joy with happiness, and you def. don't owe anyone your happiness. But so many militant, radical, effective organizers I know are intentional about "joy stuff" like culture, care, art, acknowledging victories, inviting people into the work, etc. (3/3)
Wanted to build on this @seemore.bsky.social quote, from the link below: "The more joy and magic we make in the world while we sing our songs, tell our stories, speak our truths – the more full of a future we can comprehend as we collectively lend our efforts to building that future." (1/3)

Since people were asking about the words I shared today at the no kings protest, here's the full text. Thanks @indivistwincities.bsky.social and @mn50501.bsky.social. Wrote it last week, but because it ended up being about how we carry grief and what we might do with it, it felt appropriate:
There’s something powerful about protests in smaller communities. While there's a unique energy to large protests, these local actions remind us what it’s really about: showing up, speaking out, and building community—and power—together. #NoKings
Followers of the NAR include the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. Will he disavow this terrorist ideology?

"This is the time for political education. This is the time for really understanding these systems. It feels hard because our levers of power are different and we have to adapt and adjust." You can listen to Movement Memos wherever you get your podcasts. If you need a transcript:
The reporters who can fairly and accurately cover protests are not working at the NYT. WAPO, CNN etc... they are freelancers or working at independent publications.
Tomorrow. I'll see you in the streets.
