This is the punchline, but the whole thread is something I endorse 110%
anyways I think it certainly wouldn't hurt to hold ourselves and each other to higher standards of reading and arguing so let's give that a shot

My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this.

Israel’s culture minister wants to strip film directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor of their Israeli citizenship for their movie Naza, which features testimonies of IDF soldiers admitting to knowingly killing civilians in Gaza
Le ministre de la culture, Miki Zohar, a réclamé que Yuval Abraham et Rachel Szor, les réalisateurs de "Naza", soient déchus de leur citoyenneté. Leur film décrit, témoignages de militaires à l’appui, comment des civils sont tués par l’armée israélienne dans l’enclave palestinienne.

Why are the AI guys all simultaneously panicked about their bank accounts (this is the only thing they will panic about, whatever they are saying, except maybe fleeced investors coming to kill them)

This is some sick stuff.
But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

3 things about Dem politicians who dabble in transphobia:
1. It's wrong, they're wrong, on a moral basis they're being evil
2. It's stupid, they're stupid, they'll never get any credit from the fascists for it
3. It's proof you're not capable of reading or rising to this, and therefore any, moment

if you want to speedrun developing the level of personal and political brainworms that were characteristic of the elites in the Confederacy I highly advise telling a chatbot all your problems
real friendships involve the other person pushing back against you, having needs, being busy, not being able to devote themselves to you. we know from the experience of the powerful that having somebody at your literal beck and call is a factor in driving people mad.

The UK, alongside eight other US allies such as Canada and France, declared today that they will ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements. This is a long overdue but necessary step towards establishing the baseline of accountability against Israeli occupation and apartheid.

@gabrielwinant.bsky.social is saying true things again! "If the center and the right think the working class and professionals don’t belong together, they should make an offer to one group or the other about a better affiliation."

![The question of whether or not these groups-auto workers and grad students, screenwriters and teamsters-belong together is not one that has a self-evident or objective answer. It is an eminently political question. [...] Certainly, classes cannot be made from just anything: there must be some material substrate that is shared or at least comparable. But no two workers, much less groups of workers, are identical. Rather, all workers must decide to affiliate with each other, see themselves in each other, and become something together. That is true at every scale, from two workmates to whole sectors of the economy. Classes are made politically. Indeed, the political work of deciding what to bring to the fore, of how to make experiences commensurable, is what organizing is. The necessity of the activity itself reveals the lack of the guarantee. When someone says that grad students have hijacked the UAW, or that gentrifiers are taking over the Democratic Party, they are not making a descriptive observation, but a normative one. Let them make their case.
It's easy to blow hot air about who doesn't belong with whom. But it's not a serious idea if it has no stakes: it's the reaction of a child who thinks peas and ketchup shouldn't touch on the plate. If the center and the right think the working class and professionals don't belong together, they should make an offer to one group or the other about a better affiliation. Their failure to do so in any serious way is the condition for today's growing socialist coalition. What Mutiny shows is how this alternative proposition has, over a decade and more, been painstakingly turned into something concrete. It has limits and contradictions of its own. But it is on the table now, people can see it, and some of them like it. If the incumbent political order is anything other than historically exhausted, it will have to produce an answer that is more than a temper tantrum.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zyqczbqcnv4ubznwjhnfgwhj/bafkreiab6mdsimej6rf7dcf4hn3vd2mpololi2mcwjyeatatnwfaowdfaq)

On the left, a UK Labour government responds to a fascist demo. Next, the far-right's march through EU institutions. The Greek 'centrist' government is waging an 'anti-woke' campaign against school books. Meanwhile, everyone is puzzled as to why the AfD did well in a historically far-right region.
