For the anarchist, freedom is not an abstract philosophical concept, but the vital concrete possibility of every human being to bring to full development all the powers, capacities and talents with which nature has endowed them, and turn them to social account.

Posobiec isn't a nazi in some generic rhetorical sense of having fascistic impulses or simply being far-right. He is a full-blown Hitler-loving Jew-hating mask-off literal capital-N Nazi, with a longstanding public record to match.

I've decided to go back to school. It's clear that AI is a concern per class policies. What I find frustrating is that AI copilot appears to be in all Microsoft Office products. I don't know how to disable it and I can't be sure something won't get tagged in a doc that flags my work as not my own

I was in Chicago for the Phish shows last summer. Its a beautiful city, very clean, and while it may not be as safe as a small town in VT, I never felt concerned while out and about. Of course things happen, but that's true anytime you put a bunch of people in one place. We learn to live together 🧡🖤

I’m glad people are aware of this, but it isn’t new. People in immigration detention were consistently moved away from their attorneys in the Biden admin. We reported on it then, but very few people cared about migrants when they weren’t a partisan tool.
ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

When you devote your life to the message that empathy is evil and gun deaths are an acceptable price to pay for gun rights, you shape the world with your words. Maybe Charlie Kirk didn’t expect to be a victim of his own worldbuilding, but his death is consistent with the world he helped create.

Amazing work happening in Chicago 🖤🛠️
Putting this resource and last night's event together in four days was a marathon, and I am exhausted. I am grateful to everyone who contributed their thoughts to the worksheet, everyone who rallied to make the event happen, and everyone who attended. It was so heartening to see that packed room.
Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods
This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

“Approximately 850 officers and agents were surged across the city. They made a total of 23 arrests," Press Sec. Leavitt told reporters. For reference, the D.C. police average is 58.7 each day.
Almost no one has been arrested because D.C. isn’t actually a crime-ridden hellhole.

This is how authoritarians bully weak leaders into submission. Fighting back is risky. Better to prioritize your own short-term gain. That's the "smart" move by the university that buckled to fascism first.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you.
