alarmed (but entirely unsurprised)
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

"especially American ones, with whom the Belarusian émigré is fighting his own personal cold war" is an absolutely insane qualifier for a link to an NLR piece that has nothing to do with any of this
Billionaire-owned “philosopher” Benjamin Bratton finally coming out as full technofash in this declaration of alliance with JD Vance & a16z — here’s his scathing rejection of those who “stand in the way” of corporate AI agendas nobody wants. www.noemamag.com/is-european-...

worth being critical about what the point of Western recognition of Palestine even is amidst a Western-backed genocide of Palestinians, but it is extremely funny that FDP zombies are even worse than the AfD on this count 🤡

case in point, if there's one thing this dumb fucking website is good at its papering over far-right rhetoric with toxic wholesomeness
This is the response to someone asking if Jesse Singal has been banned from BlueSkty yet.
SIngal is, ofc, a dangerous hate-monger whose mission in life is the destruction of trans people, the same trans people who carried this app, especially in its early days.

this also feels inevitable in Europe — years of real-estate speculation + creating infinite short-term lets for bottom-feeders doing professional shitcoin speculation have created the perfect storm that the far-right are very well-equipped to capitalise on
So yes it appears that Trump’s housing policy is mass deportation.
Fed Gov Stephen Miran: "If you close that border and you have negative net migration - & there's been reports thus far that 1.5 million migrants have left the US just in the first half of the year -- that's gonna have a very disinflationary effect. And so I'm expecting quite a lot of disinflation."

It was really engaging to think about imperialism with Costas Lapavitsas and Claude Serfati at Historical Materialism this summer - with a lively French audience! Promising that so many young people are interested in Marxism and (anti-)imperialism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwW...

the closest thing to a peep out of bluesky was doubling down on suspending the accounts of people being shot at, bombed, and starved to death by israel. bluesky's efforts to deny palestinians access to aid will be studied in the future

I mean it has been abundantly clear for a while now that Bluesky is a whiter, more middle-class version of Linkedin
NEW: Bluesky is becoming place to discuss scientific research - it gets more proper engagement & attention, new study finds.
For all the talk of decline - borne out by several metrics - the science community seems to have adopted Bluesky more than others.

A reminder that the Israeli government does not allow any international journalist into Gaza. That’s how they have killed more journalists than most conflicts combined since WWII while claiming that all the journalists they’ve killed were actually enemy combatants.

when even the most craven liberals in the rest of the western world have started scrambling to pretend they opposed Israel's genocide all along, Germany remains steadfast and true to its proud tradition of appreciating a genocide whenever it sees one. this country is going to need another Nuremberg.

they should send the little prick on a flag comparison tour across the Balkans
Now, you may have noticed that Israeli officials usually don't make that comparison.
They usually compare pro-Palestine solidarity to the Nazis. So why did Yair Netanyahu bring up the USSR flag instead? I think it's because he was in Hungary around fascists and he couldn't make the Nazi comparison

Thread: Das Interview mit Katharina König-Preuß ist ein typisches Beispiel für die diskursive Strategie progressiver Israel-Unterstützer*innen angesichts des immer offensichtlicheren Genozids in Gaza und der fortschreitenden Faschisierung Israels. Diese Strategie umfasst drei Elemente:
»Eine Armee ist eine Armee ist eine Armee«
Die Thüringer Linke-Politikerin König-Preuss verteidigt ihre pro-israelische Haltung trotz des Gaza-Kriegs. Sie kritisiert Genozid-Vorwürfe und vermeintliche Nahost-Experten, die sich über Tiktok info...
