    Also, if you rent in Los Angeles: Get involved with your local ! The energy and solidarity in LATU zoom meetings have been one of the few bright spots of this whole thing.

    More than funds, I think it needs to have real roots in a broader movement for social justice, like the alternative media that came up in the 1960s, and not tech people trying to fix a problem created by other tech people

    it is sad to me that the idea of alternative social media has become totally monoplized by reactionary free speech warriors (ie gab) while liberals and leftists continue to delude themselves into thinking we can beg or bully Big Tech into doing better.

    just as striking is that our national government seems to prefer sowing chaos & disorder to taking full advantage of the clear opportunities for emergency powers, mass surveillance, and control of physical movement. contradictions of revanchism + neoliberalism!

    Everyone talks about Jeremy Bentham's weird prison. But the Panopticon chapter starts out with a really fascinating section on plague-fighting measures in the end of the seventeenth century.

    Rereading "Discipline and Punish" + was struck by Foucault's argument that the plague marked the birth of modern discipline: "The plague-stricken town, traversed throughout with hierarchy, surveillance, observation, writing... this is the utopia of the perfectly governed city."

    I have learned that this is a Joe Biden proposal, which makes me regret shooting so low. (I am congenitally moderate.) Actually, dismantle capitalism.
