"Trump and Musk are violating our Constitution's Separation of Powers. The remedy for this violation is impeachment. As an elected official you took an oath to uphold the constitution. I ask that you initiate impeachment hearings and proceedings immediately."

yeah i empathize deeply and agree it would be nice to figure out solutions here. when you say underwater, do you mean if you sold it you would have no money at all? like you currently owe more than you think the car can be sold for?

colombia elected a left wing president who is now maybe the only major leader in the world FIRMLY trying to do what's right and turn away from fossil fuels. how can the international climate community support him? how can leftists around the world support one of our only successful recent electoral movements? how can we help make sure his win isn't in the end painted as a failure? this seems pretty important tbh

2024-11-24 20:58:54 UTC

“Colombia is doing the right thing in a way by saying we need to move away from fossil fuels,” said Bill Hare, a climate scientist and chief executive of Climate Analytics...
“They’re doing it for a combination of different reasons, some of them economic, some basically completely moral and oriented around the climate crisis. What is really bad that’s happening is that they’re not being backed up by the international financial community.”

no there was not one perfect place to go. yes, collectively, the crew that is now on bluesky did and does have the capacity to address that problem by creating and supporting other types of platforms. twitter migrants DID change fedi and in big enough numbers could REALLY change it. great to see that creative energy going to bsky now but we should look at the reasons it took so long, and so many people do not feel empowered to leave bad situations or work together to make better ones

2024-11-23 19:00:55 UTC

ok i'm about to get off the internet for today but i have to say that the one thing i don't see AT ALL on bsky is any self reflection on why it wasn't more of a priority to get communities the fuck off twitter after musk bought it. plenty of slow realizations that oh wow turns out its good actually to get off of there, and that our reactions to the right's online house of terrors only fuels those same terrors.
but all of that was known 2.5 years ago

2024-11-11 17:27:28 UTC

yes I hope bluesky replaces twitter, I’m also aware that bluesky is in its VC-funded phase of trying to replace its entire perceived market and especially any ideological competitors. the pattern of is well understood if not well known: domination over cooperation, hype over honesty, vagueness that serves capital

2024-10-26 00:34:16 UTC

the bsky left is obsessed with wapo not endorsing kamala, they see it as an act of preemptive collaboration with fascism, and propose we all cancel our wapo and prime accts to fight it
but bezos isn't afraid of trump, he just doesn't want to pay taxes. he doesn't care if you cancel your prime because he knows everyone has to shop at amazon. bezos only cares about staying untaxed and unregulated, therefore trump is his better option

I’ll say it. Bush era neocons Cheney and now Gonzales endorsing Harris is bad, actually. It doesn’t mean she’ll be a better leader than Trump, it means she’ll be a more reliable imperialist & create more predictable weapons markets.
when the neocons were in charge we hated them even more than we hate trump now, because they excelled at launching wars abroad and a surveillance state at home. nothing to be gained from their solidarity, even republicans hate the Iraq war

annoying because this is a simplistic nod to a very real and complex conflation of petroleum -derived power with human masculinity. it’s not (only) about dick size it’s about possessing the means to do large amounts of physical work, which confers Uber male status in communities like mine

following #frontPopulaire, I got the impression the French left met their moment with an instant, vibrant campaign of art, public rallies, slogans, essays etc. ultimately, shrewd coalitioning brought them victory, but the win rested on action among and between a set of organized -if small - left political parties. In the US we constantly hear, from left & center, that a diverse and organized electoral left is impossible or pointless. yet, elections still have consequences https://piaille.fr/@DionyZack/112711596540845275

Central Valley counties (about the size of Vermont) represent less than 1 percent of US farmland, but produce about a quarter of the nation’s food and an even larger share of its fruits and nuts.
central valley farm workers average $20,000 annual income and 90% identify as Hispanic or Latino

2024-06-30 22:34:28 UTC

California’s Central Valley forecasted to hit 120F next weekend.
over 150,000 people work outside growing food for the US in the Central Valley, (and prob more considering 75% of the workforce is undocumented)

Bernie sanders god bless him tried so hard to identify the role of oligarchs in destroying American democracy but no one understands him. I think he should say “look, these guys are the mob, they are the mafia. They are the reason we cannot have nice things, and it is time for billionaire mobsters to get out of our political parties, out of our primaries, and out of our democracy…”
But of course you can’t tell sanders what to say😂

2024-06-23 17:35:33 UTC

one problem with telling Americans we are ruled by oligarchs is that Americans only care about oligarchs if they are Russian or from the Middle East. Apply the word domestically and suddenly people legit have no idea what it means

Of all the people responsible for covid denial, doctors are the ones with the most potential for reframing and whose failure to do so causes the most harm. They have the latitude to speak freely, the training to interpret new covid science, the responsibility to do no harm to their patients, and often, they are the ones with the power to set the tone for entire hospitals, public health officials, politicians, and patients.

2024-06-17 19:02:26 UTC

the failure of mainstream medicine to name post-covid immune dysregulation as a serious public health crisis is causing not just unnecessary death and disease, but also feeds the democracy-destroying fires of disinformation. when doctors, as the public face of science for many, are untrustworthy, conspiracy theories are easily weaponized https://assemblag.es/@hugo/112625277951807994

Managing a mastodon server of 50-100 has been so far doable for our crew, and the cost is about $300 a year. it’s possible that this is a scale at which ad-free, user-owned social media works well. it does require 10% of the members help govern, but I think that’s good practice for co-op culture in general. Also pay what you can works fine at this scale and sorts itself out

2024-05-22 21:35:17 UTC

this is where I’m coming from with #SocialTech for changing culture, we need to rescue the idea of change/innovation/evolution from capitalism and its bros and girl bosses. We need a working vision & definition of technology that centers long term societies oriented around life itself, not just short term profits for a few. this is def a note to self for my upcoming book lol https://fediscience.org/@steve/112486844345257840
