The ranking Democratic members of two congressional oversight committees
announced on Monday that they had started an investigation into reports of misconduct by federal agents during immigration arrests across the country,
focusing on the detainment of American citizens.
The investigation, a joint effort between the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations,
will inquire how long American citizens have been held and whether the…

It's also interesting that we're only tangentially making the connection between shit social media and fascism. What we are not saying is that control of social space *is* a form of governance. Humans have the right to free social spaces, both physical and digital.
When we think about social media as a system of control, as a government, we see that capitalist social media results in incredibly abusive dictatorships. These dictatorships exist solely to exploit their citizens, extracting both labor and attention, for the gain of a few. They manipulate their citizens to keep them locked in. It's not a coincidence that these systems algorithmically promote fascist ideology. They are themselves a type of fascist government that pushes fascism into the physical space.

As fascism descends, you are going to need easy to access and use alternatives to Big Tech (aka Fascist Tech).
So maybe bookmark the Chatons collective site initiated by our friends at Framasoft with hosted versions of free-software services for collaborative writing, video conferencing, scheduling appointments, collaborative spreadsheets, file sharing, picture sharing, etc.

40-årskrisen för fysiken börjar tidigt. Toppformen når vi redan innan 35. Vid 60 har vi tappat uppemot hälften av vår styrka och kondition. Men nedgången går att bromsa rejält, och det är aldrig för sent att börja. Det visar en unik svensk långtidsstudie, som följt samma personer i ett halvt sekel.

It's Interesting today that the popularization of @…'s concept of "enshittification" is leading us to really think hard about how various methods of vendor lock-in enable corporations to abuse users. We see how first there's lock-in then quickly abuse follows, and recognize that the only way out of this trap is to build systems where users can leave at will.
But it's interesting that in this time of rising fascism no one is making the connection to fascism, as both increased lock in and enshittification of government. And no one is making the connection between the need to make systems optional to avoid enshittification, and libertarian socialist arguments against the systemic lock-in (and following abuse) of capitalism and the state.
