Ghost of Kropotkin

I think about this all the time. And for faculty in good jobs it still has some of that — I do enjoy knowledge making. But those are so so few and everywhere else the academe is indentured labor to a loan shark.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

You skipped over Clinton, Obama, and Biden who also oversaw the steady destruction of working class economic power and started wars in the middle east. You make it sound like wages haven't been stagnant for 30+ years, along with bipartisan QE inflation, bank bailouts, and tax breaks for the rich.

I know how he can fix it...

Oil tariffs!

This must be that "rules-based international order" we're always hearing about.

Both of Israel's parties in the US House voted to continue the illegal war and ongoing war crimes.

Oh yay. Who's excited for another year of record-breaking flooding and fires?

Climate change? Never heard of her.

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Years ago I opted not to go with Proton Mail because they were parroting US State Dept lines about the Ukraine situation and it seemed sus for a privacy-focused, "neutral" mail service. I do not regret this decision.

Everything in this thread is both bleak and likely.

The basic concept of "human rights" is that they apply to all humans. If they don't, then they aren't rights.

Get out while you can.

It's like covid, but with missiles.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

They’ve already seeded the next few generations.

An info graphic showing that the last five US presidents have bombed 10 different countries numerous times since 2001 Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran

So many presidents bombing so many countries that the info graphic is almost too small to see

Not enough people are talking about this sudden increase in disability.

Existing in this timeline is like being force-fed every 90s dystopian action movie plot through a firehose all at once.

The US never created a war it didn't like.

Ignorance is violence

&

Capitalists use media as propaganda machine to create systemic ignorance

&

Capitalists use war to perpetuate profit and power

Thus:

Capitalists create systemic violence for profit and power.

Capitalism rewards sociopaths at the expense of everyone else.

Cut the cord.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

And they'll read into this as "we need to move further to the right!"

What the people want is steely strong, left-wing, working class leadership. There's a reason the polls choose vague language. It's to allow the Dems to interpret them to mean the opposite and later claim ignorance over malice.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

This just gets even more insane. Every one of them should be locked up.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued that the "imminent threat" posed by Iran was its expected retaliation to planned Israeli military action, and that prompted the US to strike first.

"They were going to attack us after we attacked them so we had to attack them. We are very smart."

Everything the admin has done so far to the US has been consistent with how one would intentionally destabilize a country. Perhaps starting a major global conflict and making the US defenseless is part of that plan.

Years of U.S., NATO miscalculations left Ukraine massively outgunned The U.S. Army and NATO made key strategic, funding and production mistakes that led to shortages of a pivotal weapon Ukraine needs to thwart Russia's advances.

Trump/Hegseth are hell bent on exhausting the last stockpiles of munitions we have left with no real ability to scale up production to meet demand.

Either 2 things happen, deescalation or it escalates to tactical nuclear weapons. I pray to god it's not the latter.
