@evacide it would benefit everyone to look at the Duluth Power and Control wheels, and learn a bit about Domestic abuse…. Once you really “see” it, you find you can overlay those wheels on to many contexts…. Including the work place and the government. It’s stomach churning, but totally necessary to be able to recognize it.
This is spot on. It's also why serial abusers and rapists are not just bad to have in liberation movements for practical reasons, they are also *ideological enemies* who have a personal stake in making sure liberation fails.
Authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large. It uses the same tools and the same logic and, honestly, the perpetrators are often the same damn people.
Did I build my entire career around this realization? Yes. And it's left me extremely prepared for this moment and given me a lot of clarity around what I can do in this fight.
in 2016 watching from Canada. I felt that pit in my stomach. I knew America was in a relationship with an abuser. Power and control would be leveraged. Male entitlement would be ruthless. I felt sick.
Rewritten in style and tone for a 5th grade reading level using patriarchal language that resonates with a right-wing audience:
"When a father leads his family with too much force, it's like when a powerful leader controls their country too strictly. Both try to be in charge of everything and make all the rules. Sometimes, people who are harsh at home also want to be strict leaders in bigger ways."
my years of calculus told me writ was misspelled wrt (with respect to) and I couldn’t understand what this post meant. I must’ve reread it 10 times before I realized writ is actually the word you meant.

When studying gender based violence in war 25y ago, one of the eye opening researches to me was by the Israeli suicide prevention / generic help phone. They found that *before* a war starts there is already an increase in domestic violence and an increase in violence in society at large. (And after a war it continues for a while). You may well have found the logical connection underneath this statistical connection.

Gaza està en silenci ara. No amb pau, sinó amb anihilació. No un silenci de quietud, sinó d'asfíxia.
Van tallar l'últim cable Cap missatge ix. Cap imatge entra. Fins i tot el dolor ha sigut prohibit.
Vaig passar al costat dels cadàvers d'edificis, de cases, d'homes, alguns respirant, uns altres no Tots ells esborraments per la mateixa mà que va esborrar les nostres veus. Aquest no és només un setge de bombes. És un setge a la memòria: una guerra contra la nostra capacitat de dir: "Vam ser ací"
3/6 Els bombardejos mai van cessar, especialment en Jabalia. Bombardegen els carrers on els xiquets mendiguen menjar. Bombardegen les files on les mares esperen farina. Bombardegen la fam mateixa. Sense menjar. Sense aigua. Sense eixida. I els qui ho intenten, els qui busquen ajuda, són abatuts. La gent mor ací, i ningú ho sap. No perquè la matança es detinguera, sinó perquè la destrucció de la connexió va tindre èxit.
Internet va ser el nostre últim alé. No va ser un luxe; va ser l'última evidència de la nostra humanitat. Ara s'ha anat. I en la foscor, massacren sense conseqüències. Vaig trobar aquest tènue senyal de eSIM com un moribund troba un centelleig de flama. Em vaig quedar sota un cel trencat, arriscant la mort, no per rescat, sinó per a enviar això. Un sol missatge. Una última resistència. Si estàs llegint això, recorda:
Caminem a través del foc per a dir-ho. No ens quedem callats. Ens van silenciar. I quan es restablisca el cablejat, la veritat es filtrarà a través d'ell, i el món sabrà el que va decidir no veure.
A partir de hui, HORÀRIA LOCAL de 21.00 a 21.30 apagaré el meu telèfon mòbil. En la forma més severa de desconnexió d'internet, de 21.00 a 21.30 durant una setmana, pel poble palestí.
30 minuts de silenci digital. Aquesta és una campanya digital coordinada del moviment "Silenci per Gaza". És una ona que creix. Perquè es pot fer alguna cosa: una pausa digital diària de 30 minuts totes les nits, de 21.00 a 21.30 hora local de cada país.
Durant aquesta pausa: No es permeten xarxes socials. No es permeten missatges. No es permeten comentaris. S'apaguen els telèfons i ordinadors.
Jabàlia és un barri de la ciutat de Gaza. Un camp de refugiats, doncs la Franja és un gueto creat pels ocupants, on van obligar a viure a centenars de milers de palestins expulsats de Palestina en 1948 i 1967.
Tinc un amic d'allà, un artista. He tardat any i mig en poder parlar amb ell. Ho ha perdut tot. I li han assassinat al fill. Però encara li queda vida i estima. Potser.
Jabàlia vol dir muntanyenca. D'allà ve el nostre terme Javalí, muntanyenc.
Javalí és un terme anterior a senglar. Un terme utilitzat des de fa 1.300 anys. Arabisme incorporat al valencià-català. I usat tradicionalment al País Valencià i la Catalunya Nova. Senglar, de reminiscències afrancesades-occitanes, es popularitza al nostre país fa unes dècades.
També és un cognom comú a Palestina, clar.
The refugees of Jabalia are descendants of 38,000 Palestinians who were ethnically cleansed from Ashdod, Yaffa, Ramleh, Lydd, and Beer Sabe during the Nakba of 1948.
Well, Grok has been corrupted and is spreading lies using Snopes and Wikipedia as political authorities and people are getting banned again. Paying doesn't protect you. When it fails again, it won't be back. Too bad ego gets in the way of learning valuable lessons.
@CDuBois WTH?! How is it decided? People have been saying things like that? I don't get it. I've lost thousands of followers after painstakenly accumulating them several times. If it happens again, I'm done with it and done paying for "free speech."
@CDuBois I never talk to people like the left does. It's hateful. On the right, they pick at tongue-in-cheek comments or just words and phrases that gets people banned. Then there's nobody who can help. They have Bluesky to be as nasty as they want. It's so childish. @MissusTruth__1776

Nicknamed after a #cloud, ' #nimbus' becomes the nation's dominant COVID strain July 5, 2025
In weather, "nimbus" is a type of cloud associated with heavy precipitation.
In health, it's the nickname for a new strain of COVID-19 that recently became the disease's dominant variant in the U.S.
Known officially as COVID variant NB.1.8.1, nimbus was first detected in March 2025 in Europe and Asia, said Matthew Lara, chief of staff for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Here are the symptoms: What are the symptoms of nimbus?
In addition to a sore throat, other common symptoms of nimbus include the following: Body aches. Congestion. Cough. Fatigue. Fever or chills, Headache. Loss of smell. Loss of taste. Runny nose. Shortness of breath. Nausea or vomiting. Diarrhea.
In recent months European diplomats have intensified their complaints about Chinese industrial overcapacity, fearing that their markets will be flooded due to
“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” - F. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled

Twink Link is being freed: #Nintendo apparently backtracks, says you are allowed to call yourself Twink Link as it works to unban a #Switch2 it "flagged by accident"
Or at least, so it is claimed. In case you somehow missed the initial kerfuffle – and what a delight for you, as you now get to catch up – #Reddit user and Nintendo Switch 2 owner Funaoe24 previously shared on Reddit that they'd earned a #console ban preventing them "from accessing any Nintendo services at all on the system." The apparent reason? Their sister recently changed her #username to Twink Link.
Then, in what was previously a final edit, the unlucky owner shared that, "Permanent system bans cannot be revoked by Nintendo at all," at least according to the support agents they were in contact with. Twink Link was seemingly jailed for good with no possible recourse.
To put it clearly and unambiguously, Nintendo can randomly #block the console and #support plays dumb. Nintendo then claims it was all just an #accident but without the huge outcry on the internet they would have done a fart for their customers.
LOL is this referring to a big spiky static dissipator for radio towers?
somewhere in my files I've got a photo of myself menacingly wielding one of those. it was one of the old Cortana (now Nott Industries) dissipators, and hitting someone with it would have ruined their entire MONTH.
it used to be called the Stati-Cat, but it's the GS-3 on this page. There's nothing there for scale but it's like 14 inches long and the spikes are wonderful, terrifying, oh, 8 gauge razor sharp steel pins.
The thing does actually work. Where we installed a tower with some on it, well grounded, it completely stopped the building it was on from being repeatedly smacked by lightning during the summer months.
Save money and improve effectiveness with our lightning dissipation systems that actually repel lightning rather than attract it. Proven technology that really works!
“What is unfolding in Gaza is not merely a military occupation or humanitarian crisis — it is a testing‑ground for techno‑authoritarian fantasies masquerading as policy innovation”
This article exposes BCG’s involvement in Israeli plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and "tokenise" Gaza's land, revealing a troubling blend of forced displacement and techno-capitalism.

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is nothing short of a starvation budget.
Proposed are $300 billion in cuts from SNAP food assistance–which will affect 11 million people, including 4 million children.
In the five states with the highest rates of hunger alone–Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas–the bill would cut food stamp benefits for over 1.1 million people.
He's not wrong, but he leaves one very important detail out. Europeans are being targeted by ICE just as much as Latinos. ICE might not be raiding European "neighborhoods" but they are being kidnapped and deported when they show up to Court or to their Immigration hearings.
It’s not an energy production problem we have. It’s an energy consumption problem. We consume too much. We need to let Nature go dark, let Nature recover. Instead, we’re being sold more tech scams. All over the world, solar panels have somehow become the best friend of biodiversity, according to countless breathless reports.
The solution to biodiversity collapse is to cover the earth with solar panels? Is that it?
