Important to remember that none of these W. Era neo-cons ever redeemed themselves, they just demonstrated their own lack of basic foresight in their horror at Trump's exploitation of the mechanisms and narratives they championed

Politicizing every shooting or terror act from the get-go is reckless and dumb.

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

Recognition of State of Palestine by Canada, France, UK etc is not only performative it is dangerous.
It doesnt commit to ending genocide or implementing arms embargo and sanctions.
Plus, explicitly calls for demilitarization of Palestine and disarming resistance.
Reviving Oslo is not an option!

The total violence exhibited with only a few weeks left in semesters was a sign of authoritarianism but also a sign of strategic weakness. A ruling class that can no longer tolerate dissent is a ruling class terrified and wracked with shame and guilt. They are both more dangerous and more fragile

What does gentrification have to do with authoritarianism? I talked with @xandrewleex.bsky.social about how displacement, surveillance, and “quality of life” policing function as tools of social control—and why housing struggles are class struggles.
