Here's a clip from one of my favorite documentaries "The Power Principle" by Scott Noble. I threw it together to try to get more people to watch. Good stuff to know in the age of privatized imperialism youtube.com/watch?v=BmWN01…

between 2007 when Hamas won the election and came to power in Gaza and 2021, a period that covers three major Israeli mass slaughters in Gaza, BBC News used the phrase "Hamas-run health ministry" 3 times. They used "Gaza health ministry" without "Hamas-run" over 200 times

it's the trifecta of big tech, bought politicians and the security state all coming together to ban a competitor, enforce their monopoly on social media and, crucially, to expand their harvesting of personal data and censorship powers as contained in the fascistic Restrict Act:

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just refused to hear Wikimedia v. NSA, our longstanding challenge to the NSA’s mass surveillance of Americans’ online communications with friends, family, and others abroad. This decision comes at an immense cost to our privacy.


Mr Beast is pretending his YouTube videos are the product when they are clearly the advertisement for his broader brand. McDonalds doesn’t lose money on advertisements, it spends some money to make more money. At does the beast #MrBeast

He is correct that it has raised awareness and got people talking. I'll take the L on that and delete the tweet. However passing off business expenses/loses when you have multiple channels, a clothing line, an international fast food franchise just to name a few is disingenuous

UPDATE: In-N-Out, Chipotle, and Starbucks have successfully blocked California from implementing a landmark law establishing industry-wide working standards and wage increases at fast food chains. Voters now need to approve the law in a 2024 ballot measure for it to take effect.

Thread: The Chron just published its 1st major analysis on what the data shows are the differences btw the prosecutorial approaches of the new DA, Jenkins, & her predecessor, Boudin. Below, I'll break down what I think they got right, and what they missed. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/bro…

If you live in the US you have a greater responsibility to do something about the giant empire of death that you live in and benefit from on a daily basis before you start moralizing about other nations.

Tens of thousands of Academic Workers held the line on Day 2 of our multi-unit statewide strike. We made UC return to the bargaining table, despite having previously declined to schedule any sessions for today. With our growing power, we WILL win fair contracts! @UAWonStrike

In Ep 169, "How the Right Ventriloquizes 'The Working Man' to Push Pro-Corporate Policy and Gut Welfare" we examine how rightwing demagogues––and corporate liberals––evoke "The Working Man" to oppose immigration, debt cancellation, and pro-labor policies. soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

San Francisco’s new DA @BrookeJenkinsSF, appointed by SF Mayor @LondonBreed, is a criminal and must be voted out. Vote @HamasakiLaw because #BLM #EndPoliceBrutality

San Francisco's new DA, back when she was working as a staff prosecutor, appears to have shared a defendant's rap sheet outside the office — and then once she quit to join the recall bid, she & the person she shared it with used the info to attack Boudin. missionlocal.org/2022/11/brooke…

the UN just held a vote on ending the US embargo on Cuba, which has killed countless over many decades and violates every international norm. Every country voted in favor except the United States and Israel, and two countries abstained: Bolsonaro's Brazil and Zelensky's Ukraine

THREAD. Two Harvard professors published an academic article calling for 500,000 more armed cops, who they say will arrest 7.8 million more people per year. The article reveals alarming flaws in elite academia at a time of rising fascism. This is one of my most important posts.

Female incarceration rates by country. States in the freest country in the world are in gray. I put arrows next to the bad guys. Ps when you’re in prison, you don’t get to decide what to wear, who you can be around, or what you eat. It is a total loss of freedom #Iran
