Elon Musk’s Right-Wing D*** Riders Melt Down Over “Evil” Jokes About Tesla
Every accusation is a confession. Make no mistake, despite alligator tears of Musk, I *still argue that perhaps not literally planned (mygad I'm beginning to sound like the conspiracy theorists I rail against... except, yanno, all I hear is crickets from them when *actual conspiracies are taking place, these people would have called the Civil Rights movement a conspiracy) so while the specifics may be unplanned, make no mistake - this falls neatly in line with stoking hatred to enable a "it will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" response. This is still mere *weeks*into this administration.
To bring it home to us in Canada, jfc the NDP gotta get their shit together, cuz the Libs are just gonna cement a disaster capitalism response and further capitalize on the moment to solidify nationalism which in turn furthers the by definition unsustainability of global capitalism.
Fascism is a feature, a symptom, not a side effect.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Letter From an ICE Detention Center
Mahmoud Khalil, who has been detained and targeted for deportation by the Trump administration for speaking out about the atrocities in Gaza, dictated a letter to the public from his detention cell in Louisiana. Jacobin publishes the letter here in full.
Who has the right to have rights?
With January’s cease-fire now broken, parents in Gaza are once again cradling too-small shrouds, and families are forced to weigh starvation and displacement against bombs. It is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom.
I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.
The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. Visa holders, green card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs."
I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear.
For decades, anti-Palestinian racism has driven efforts to expand US laws and practices that are used to violently repress Palestinians, Arab Americans, and other communities. That is precisely why I am being targeted.
Columbia targeted me for my activism, creating a new authoritarian disciplinary office to bypass due process and silence students criticizing Israel.
Students have long been at the forefront of change — leading the charge against the Vietnam War, standing on the front lines of the civil rights movement, and driving the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Today, too, even if the public has yet to fully grasp it, it is students who steer us toward truth and justice.
At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all.
