One sign that we are living under an authoritarian regime is that a lot of people are acting like they are living under an authoritarian regime.
The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

“Why aren’t you in the Hague?”

Everyone should watch this.

🚨Please don’t scroll past this. I lost my main support recently, and everything has fallen apart. I’m struggling a lot, and asking for help is not easy. No one around me sees or understands how deeply I’m hurting or what I’m going through. I feel invisible, Please don’t overlook me‼️ #mutualaid

“It’s hard to imagine a clearer example of greenwashing in this world,” the environmental campaigner Bill McKibben told Unearthed. “The oil and gas industry – which is pretty much the same thing as the plastics industry – has been at this for decades.”
The big petro companies have been running a high-profile campaign to "end plastic waste." A new investigation shows that, during the campaign, these companies have produced 1000X more plastic than they have cleaned up. unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/11/20/a...

The Alliance to End Plastic Waste spent five years clearing up the amount of plastic its key oil and chemical members produce in two days

Texas Republicans have pre-filed bills to ban websites like Plan C Pills and Hey Jane, which help people order abortion pills by mail, and reclassify abortion pills as a "Schedule IV" drug under the state's Controlled Substances Act. The state already imposes a total abortion ban:

blushes with something like guilt, thinks fleetingly of Bury Your Gays, as yet unread
reading the books I want to read less than the other ones and saving the ones I want to read more as a treat, resulting in bookshelves, cabinets, corners filled with the books I want to read most, about which I will never know more than how attractive they seem to me. the total condition of desire

i admit i live in an echo chamber of leftist politics, the only exception being when i hear things said by the president, the next president, the supreme court, members of congress, people on the news, my family, or people i encounter in my daily life.

What I've wanted all of us to say to FB for literally years now, and maybe it's actually happening?

it's true! they don't call it "ragebait" for nothin
ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.
