Leon Trotsky 1918:

This scale of wealth concentration must inexorably produce massive social upheaval and revolution, as surely as it did in 1789 and 1917. #Musk #SpaceX

As always @philippmarkolin.bsky.social bangs the nail exactly on the head. Scientists are being used as political tools, prosecuted w/ full hyped-up horror for minor administrative issues while US global leadership in science & health is being rapidly demolished.

More proof that the immigration court system is an anti-democratic farce.

Immigration Judge Amy Lee orders dead non-citizen deported, finding "insufficient proof of death."

You can't make this up!

Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında).

Onu öldürmelerine izin verme.

A major exhibition in New York shows the remarkable and rapid artistic development of Raphael. He embodied the Renaissance dedication to not only the arts, but also the sciences, both of which are under merciless attack today. #artistsoftwitter #art https://t.co/6pJAmtxDfz

Bogdan’s trial is at a critical turning point. Two expert reports have now exposed the core of the charge—that Bogdan spreads Russian propaganda—as baseless.

Kyiv has dismantled the monument to Mikhail Bulgakov.

That should come as no surprise.

In The White Guard, Bulgakov depicted the anti-Jewish pogroms carried out by the forces of Symon Petliura—precisely the pogroms that Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance led by ex-Azov officer now seem eager to sideline as an inconvenient footnote to the national story.

Historical memory is becoming increasingly selective.

The darker chapters are erased, while controversial figures are recast as untarnished heroes.
If this trend continues, Ukraine may end up celebrating only those whose hands were stained with the blood of their Jewish, Polish, and other neighbors.

Is this the “democratic Ukraine” that people are being forced to die for?
A democracy worthy of sacrifice should be able to confront its past honestly, not sanitize it.

The UAW officialdom ordered Harvard grad student workers to end their strike without having gotten any meaningful concessions from the university. This umpteenth betrayal underscores the need for rank-and-file committees. #teachertwitter #Harvard https://t.co/qTVDuETgLl

NY Democrats and Mamdani administration provide platform for Israel Day pro-genocide march

Mamdani did not personally attend. But his absence was a calculated fraud. His admin provided the permits and police protection that allowed the parade to proceed.

Thomas Hardy (1840) – Novelist, poet. The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure. A sharp critic of Victorian literature, which does not “truly [express] the views of life prevalent in its time,” it does not “reflect and reveal life” or criticize life.
