Any Madison, Wisconsin peeps?

I'll be speaking tomorrow at two public libraries, the Verona Library at 10:00 am and the Meadowridge Library at 2:00.

I've never been here before. What a lovely place. And the people are definitely nice.

Hey, who remembers that time that the South lost the Civil War, so slavery was abolished? But racist Texans didn't want the slavery party to stop, so they kept slavery going for another 2 years after abolition? But then a bunch of Black Union soldiers from the United States Colored Troop under General Gordon Granger marched into South Texas with guns, and threatened to shoot anyone that wouldn't release their slaves? So then those Black soldiers finally forced those racist Texans to release their slaves? But then American people pretended that Juneteenth celebrates the news of slavery reaching the far reaches of Texas, when "the news" was really Black Union soldiers with guns? Because we lie to ourselves and talk about Texas like a distant space colony that was out of contact with the rest of humanity, but in reality people traveled to Texas every single day during that two years, and everyone knew what was going on? And no white people went to jail for keeping slaves for 2 years after abolition, because Lincoln was a self-admitted white supremacist and slavery sympathizer?

Happy Juneteenth!

This is the new Mastodon account for the Anarchist Library. If you're not familiar with this project, it is arguably the best English-language resource for finding anarchist texts available on the Internet. Give em a follow, and keep your distro tables, infoshops and reading groups stocked with all the latest zines, and most obscure 19th century anarchist texts the project has to offer.

The 2020 Presidential election was not stolen, Trump is just a pathetic sore loser. Please voice your opposition to unconstitutional federal interference in elections.

Trillions invested, entire industries destroyed, our information ecosystem fundamentally compromised, and all we accomplished was, at best, a 0-5% bump in overall aconomic productivity.

One #problem with #realnameregistration is that it can be used as an #ID for governmental services as well

That is what you could call a #thecirclescenario

Another problem is the #superapp

In #China it became nearly impossible to exist without the #微信 #app , known as #WeChat internationally

If you analyse what #AnnaZeiter said in interviews there are possibilities they want #WSocial to become a #superapp

I'll write it in more detail, in the future, I promise…

Reminder: every operational vehicle sold by Tesla is a surveillance apparatus operated by state actors and robber-barons (one could argue these are one and the same these days).
