Last Notes npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 Lebanon’s religious diversity. The country is not a monolith. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “A protester breached the airside perimeter at Shannon Airport in #Ireland today, climbed onto the wing of a parked #US Air Force C-130 Hercules and damaged the fuselage with what is believed to be an axe, taking the aircraft out of service. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 Zionism is a death cult. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “A child was killed, and several others were injured in a US-Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential and tourist complex in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz on Saturday.” npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…cj3j npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…3vsh @nprofile…939n npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 My subscription to Ivory is scheduled to renew in January. I won’t be renewing because I don’t use Masto enough to justify it. It will be over to the standard Masto crap app + the browser on my laptop at that point. Yesterday I logged in under my current instance on the crap app for the first time since getting kicked off the mastodondotsocial instance November 2024. I will miss Ivory. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “For both speakers, the dead children are secondary to Israel's image; they are only casually referenced as a cause of unreasonable and uncalled-for hatred for Israel.” npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 All you fascists bound to lose. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 #Nashville #uspol #uspolitics #travel https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:o7resn4ug7cdrv5lo7gz3teh/post/3m4lc7lr2g224 npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “Regardless of the motives, however, #Trump proved once again that when an American president makes a firm demand of #Israel, he cannot be ignored. #Biden knew that, too. It just didn’t matter to him because he didn’t want Israel to stop.” npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…s4u0 npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…j393 npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…jleu npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…5rv0 npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 This skeet has an apt existential analogy that applies to changing instances here at Masto: the myth of Sisyphus repeatedly rolling the rock up the hill only to watch it roll down again. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 Why Masto may be unsustainable in the long run. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 My regular reminder on how I define fascism: a right-wing movement that 1) tends to be hostile toward subaltern ethnic or cultural groups while advocating homogeneous ethnic or cultural rehabilitation (frequently cast as utopian, generally supremacist); 2) tends to oppose Marxism, l anarchism, and worker-led democracy and revolution in favor of state capitalism via centralized dictatorship that appeals to strong police powers; 3) tends to favor militarized command structure predominated by petty bourgeois, white-collar labor that reorganizes direct action and occludes class-based activism. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 I find that liberals losing arguments fall back on the bad faith question, “What’s your plan?” Thing is, I didn’t create this system and our ballots won’t change the status quo. So asking what my plan is as if anyone outside donors and party machines have flex is a viciously circular trap. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “Do not waste your tears over fascists. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “That must be the reason … why poverty-stricken old Negroes … lived so long — because to them, no matter how hard life might be, it was not without laughter.” npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “Youman Wilder, founder of Harlem Baseball Hitting Academy, faced off with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on July 3 at Manhattan’s Riverside Park, where he’s coached boys of different ages.” npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 #books #fiction #HarlemRenaissance #union https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:o7resn4ug7cdrv5lo7gz3teh/post/3lxzewhfpl22h npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…fult npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 I love Aaron Douglas’s art anyway. I love that the Harlem Renaissance artist started the Art Department at Nashville’s own Fisk University. But I particularly love the way he counterposed the skeletal hand of death with the white cuffed hand of business in “Aspects of Negro Life: Song of the Towers” npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 Emancipation Park in Austin, #Texas was created so that African Americans could celebrate Emancipation Day (what came to be #Juneteenth) without resistance from whites; Austin condemned it aided by the #US Housing Authority for funds to build segregated public #housing but not upset southern #Democrats npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 From “On #Juneteenth” by Annette Gordon-Reed. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 The orders issued #otd 160 years ago by General Granger after Federal troops landed in Galveston, as reported in a local paper. Note that freedom is absolutely announced at the beginning of the inaugural #Juneteenth document, but the ending leaves open the possibility for the infamous Black Codes. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 @nprofile…4pyc npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 Fascist fucks. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “Join us at Disability Rebellion against cruel government cuts and ableism! npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “[#otd 1961] The nine Freedom Riders and five regular passengers sat frozen to their seats as the mob shouted for the Freedom Riders to come out. Some tried to force open the door. this brought the two Alabama state investigators out from undercover – they ran to the front of the bus and braced themselves against the pull lever, holding the door shut. Enraged, the [white] mob began pounding on the bus with pipes and slashing the tires …. [The driver] revved the engine and backed up. The numb, terror stricken passengers, watched Anniston policemen move in from positions on the fringe of the crowd to direct the bus out of town, as though they had suddenly awaken to a traffic problem.” npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 TIL that antifascist historian George Rawick, during a period of low cash flow, decided to stop paying his phone bill reasoning that the #FBI could not stand to lose the opportunity to tap his calls and that they would make sure his service would continue. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 #Bluesky moderators are blocking these Al Jazeera images (and thus the link) when the link is posted on that platform. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 Fell for AOC once. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “the bourgeoisie has not only forged the weapons that deal death to it; it is also brought into existence [those] who will wield these weapons – the modern workers, the proletarians. npub17nxnn9kmyqjxzqdk0th62pj3gxnvt6dngvrdpsh29t9wpr4ry8dqqaqcrr micchiato 🎋 “CEO: UnitedHealth's approval ratings are in the dumps.
