Trump is required to have his first meeting with his parole officer tomorrow. The judge has given him the rare permission to have his lawyer in attendance. This will likely be an utter train wreck.

So in summary, what the director was saying - is we need to smash the patriarchy from within, like Dave takes down the binary stereotypes of Henrietta's formalism, and re-invent the proletariat as a gender fluid, anarcho-syndicalist structure, with Penny representing a new take on ground-up democracy.

Very thoughtful film.

With 87% of the votes counted it looks even worse for the Swedish far-right than the polls suggested. They're down almost two percentage points, and are behind the Greens. https://valresultat.svt.se/2024/

“During Jim Crow, the Black family was together,” Donalds explained to the crowd.

Not worthy of freedom; he cannot handle it. Donalds believes this about himself. Without a boot on his neck he would be feral. I will take his word on that. But, he should not presume to speak for all black people.

In our history Black institutions, Black organizations were dismantled & burned. Churches burned. Neighborhoods burned. The less perceptive among us, like Donalds, roped in to cheer it on.

My grandfather remembered hiding under the bed as she manned the window with a shot gun when the white people from the town would get drunk and ride out on horses with torches to "scare the black folks" (they described it with different words)

He was so scared that my great grandmother might shoot... because if she hit one of them ... it would all be over. He fled to the north to work in the steel mills.

Ah yes Jim Crow what a wonderful time to be Black in this country. F-ing hell man.

You won't find this on the NY Times homepage, but "If Trump Wins" is very much the kind of journalism we need from the most important news organization in America.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/07/us/politics/trump-policy-list-2025.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yE0.HGUJ.n4G0j7au9_es&smid=url-share

If the Times -- and the rest of our news media -- did this kind of thing relentlessly, they'd be doing their jobs.

It's now or never, journalists. You -- and democracy, which makes what you do possible -- are a prime target of the fascists.

Unemployment has been at or below (mostly below) 4% since the end of 2021.

4 years ago, Trump called it "joyous" &"stupendous" that unemployment was only 13.3%.

In the "booming" Reagan years, unemployment averaged 7.5%.

Pres. Biden is presiding over historically strong growth.

“One of two Black contestants chosen for that season in 2010, Folkes was insulted that had called him inarticulate and accused him of illiteracy in a lengthy boardroom tirade minutes earlier.

As the crew member, a Black woman who worked as a contestant manager, consoled him, Trump suddenly appeared at the bar.

“He came up and he asked me: ‘Is this your woman? Because you two would make a really great couple. You both have the same background’” https://apnews.com/article/d962dfce1220920681ede63b90058f5d

America’s employers added a vigorous 272,000 #jobs in May, accelerating from April and a sign that companies are still confident enough in the economy to keep hiring despite persistently high interest rates. #Bidenomics

Just this week, Trump doubled down on the idea that he would prosecute his political foes, a terrifying assertion of dictatorial intent. We have the opportunity to repeat 2020 and stop him.

It is time to hit the ground running on the 2024 election cycle. We’re not just going to try. We’re going to beat Trump. We’re going to win a trifecta. And we’re going to codify reproductive freedoms and democracy reform: https://indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/neighbor_to_neighbor_ge?source=mastodon

Now that I'm spending more time on Mastodon, I'm realizing I don't follow enough people. Many of them are inactive accounts.

My feed is running dry rather quickly.

Who are some good people in the autistic and neurodivergent spaces to follow?

It's likely that the Russian services had something to do with the Marywilska fire -further bolstered when a fmr RU soldier was arrested north of Paris this week after explosives detonated in his hotel room. Warnings from European intel. agencies that RU is plotting acts of sabotage-in its escalation of the stand-off with the NATO MIL alliance. RU is turning to criminal gangs-.

I get real sick of some of the purity-testing lefty bullshit on here and then I run into a buzzsaw of "you support GENOCIDE OF JEWS" comments elsewhere for supporting Biden's restraint of Netanyahu's government and it's like "oh yeah. It's all fucking terrible, now I remember. All the time. All of it."

I wasn't going to link to this here, but now I am, because what the commenter replied to isn't even primarily about Gaza, it's mostly about how you reward - or punish - politicians with the granting and removal of power.

Even so, just supporting Biden's restraint as an illustration was enough to get me accused of supporting genocide of Jews.

This is what Biden has to deal with, folks.

“It’s just stated as fact that Apple ‘has fallen behind in the AI arms race’ (that’s from yesterday in the WSJ) but the companies Apple has supposedly fallen behind are, on their own, described with words like unpolished, embarrassing, hallucinating, untrustworthy, and even baffling." — @gruber https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/06/06/nyt-humane
