If anyone's got any spare scratch, consider throwing it toward a couple of Texas comrades. They've had legal expenses since they were arrested a couple of years ago while fascist militants were trying to attack drag show attendees in one of the fashiest states in the US. These folks have done us all a service, and we should support them with whatever resources we have available.

Chris G. was acquitted in a criminal trial last November, but is still facing a civil trial brought by a deep-pocketed group that self-identifies as a "Christian-fascist fraternity." That's in addition to the expenses left over from the criminal trial.

The other, known around Dallas-Ft. Worth as "protest mom," had to go to trial and got stuck with two misdemeanors, which she hopes to appeal, but isn't sure she can afford the lawyers (and that's in addition to the monthly probation payments).

Also, if you want to contribute to antifascist defense funds generally, I'd like to recommend something that's literally called The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund. That crew disperses funds to antifascists around the world, and I have no doubt that any one-time or recurring contributions would be greatly appreciated.

@georgetakei

The world needs to collaborate in "the other group chat" starting with recognizing how his mental disorders seek validation, then playing him.

He and co-president musk are taking down American institutions and the citizens, we might as well not be caught over the event horizon.

Also, time for Canada-Mexico dyad.

Brilliant article by @timnitGebru and @xriskology on the constituent right-wing ideologies in #bigtech. They are connected to #transhumanism, endorse the use of emerging technologies to “enhance” humanity & create a new “posthuman” species.
No surprise that their common genealogy goes back to first-wave #eugenics.
Also no surprise that fuckups like Charles Murray, Linda Gottfredson & Peter Singer are masterminds of those utilitarian movements & their obsession w/ IQ tests

"Instead of having the multitudes of humans around the world building tools serving their own needs, the TESCREAList techno-utopia entails diverting resources to create their singular vision of a superior being with characteristics determined and controlled by them."
