judah-grunstein.bsky.socialGreat and informative interview of @andreapitzer.bsky.social by @jamellebouie.net. The term "concentration camp" has become calcified into a single referent, but as Andrea makes clear, it is more useful to think of it as a process, and its history begins well before Nazi Germany.

ramiismail.comDiscord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. āThe state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.ā
