I don’t know what people are saying about BlueSky elsewhere, but there are good journalists covering what’s happening in LA there, and I encourage everyone to watch this clip: https://t.co/AvluhaRgmu

Allez, il est temps de l'annoncer : un livre sortira le 19 mai chez Robert Laffont avec mon nom en haut de la couverture. Il s'appelle "Les Dissidents: une année dans la bulle conspirationniste". (🧵thread d'autopromo éhontée)

@thisblueangel puts the spotlight on vacant apartments that serve as subsidized wealth storage amidst widespread homelessness. This has driven new forms of protest, reminding us that the grip of money is rooted in the compliances of everyday life.

Bluesky. Just sayin. https://t.co/fXdqgleAfr
Come on down, the water’s warm

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

I wrote this piece 8 years ago to explain another Trump victory. It's now common sense, but I think we need to dig deeper to figure out what to do next. https://t.co/UTYyh2DGyS

Every time I criticize the Dems and someone says “so what’s the answer?”, I’ll just post this

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Precisely. Some claim things cannot get worse. They absolutely can.

Look to any country where the prisons are bursting with political prisoners. There is no shame in voting against even worse.

Fascists triumph when we lose our capacity to think strategically.

[Kai Newkirk for Congress @kai_newkirk]

NEW: A coalition of Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive community leaders issue statement on the presidential election.

"In our view... allowing the fascist Donald Trump to become President again would be the worst possible outcome for the Palestinian people."

🚨 BREAKING: “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” says Mariel Garza, as LA Times blocks Kamala Harris endorsement.

@stalecooper But thankfully I had some friends who didn’t make assumptions and helped me out by putting in more than their share

[Michelle *thisblue.bsky.social* Chihara @thisblueangel]

@stalecooper Uh… as an academic who rarely gets to go to conferences because I’m super not making anywhere close to six figures, and who got stuck with a $350 bill that was $150 short, on a reservation I made to be social, I think this tweet might be kind of a dick move

Seinfeld after being asked about the Marxism and Humor workshop that @maxhaiven and I are convening at this weekend's @ASAP_artsNOW conference in NYC this weekend.

[Michael Docherty @maybeavalon]

A few folks have asked me about ways to help in western NC - this master list (not my work!) is partly about resources that are available to those affected, but it also contains organizations that are looking for support:

I was one of the few art historians signed on to this plea to spare two young people from prison for throwing soup on the glass of a Van Gogh painting. This was a non-violent form of symbolic protest that should not be prosecuted so severely.

When you're reading the Eric Adams indictment today, take a moment to ask yourself why the Turkish government and its aligned business interests were willing to go so far and spend so much on bribes to make sure that they could develop skyscrapers in NYC.

@dennismhogan I mean

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Very touched to hear the great Cate Blanchett quoting Doppleganger at #TIFF2024 - and LOVED that she refused to be cut off mid-sentence while talking about climate change!

Are you in need of emergency healing?
