I think the real Zoomer Millennial divide is whether or not you remember when revolutions died

Something I don't think a lot of the people younger than me understand is that for a moment it really looked like we were going to win, that Arab revolutionaries, Greek Occupiers and Brazilian insurrectionaries were going to walk into the future

arm in arm, with the regime and the bankers crushed beneath our feet. That was the moment they brought out the machine guns. The psychological blow of watching the what was probably the first time the left could conceivably have won in almost

half a century blown away in a hail of bullets was indescribable, and I think the half a decade of paralysis in the global street movements reflects that. Even now the international solidarity networks have never been rebuilt.

1. On the 20th anniversary of the Battle of Seattle a lot of people are focusing on the role unions played in the movement that basically stopped the WTO in its tracks. This is almost pure revisionism, the WTO wasn't defeated by organized labor,

2. it was defeated by leftist direct action campaigns and a wave of revolutions. The crucial part of this story, and the part that the unions don't want to talk about because they essentially weren't involved, was what happened after Seattle.

3. A Zapatista-founded international network called Peoples' Global Action, which had been heavily involved in the Seattle protests (summit hopping was actually the Zapatistas' idea in the first place), began to get involved in a series of other

Bruenig is precisely the wrong person to be talking about this and as such he picked a terrible fucking example sucks but the enfolding of social movements and activists into the state is an INCREDIBLY important discussion for the left to be

1. One of the things I've noticed in my time in leftist circles is that outside of abortion work we really don't talk about the Evangelical right very often, and I think that's an incredible mistake.

2. Obviously there are exceptions to this, and @onesarahjones has done some really incredible work documenting how Evangelical groups and institutions operate but as someone who grew up in what in one of their intellectual strongholds I don't

3. think people understand how scary these people are. I'm not an expert on the Evangelical movement but what I can do is talk a bit about the incredibly fucked up stuff that I saw these people doing growing up and what they're doing now.

Breaking #ICE news: After holding a trial, federal judge in Los Angeles rules that ICE cannot rely on patchwork of federal databases to detain people held in state and local custody, invalidating the single biggest method that ICE uses to detain people across the country.
Judge also rules that ICE cannot issue so-called "detainers" - requests to state/local jailers to hold people for ICE to pick up - in states that don't explicitly authorize their employees to cooperate with ICE. That means detainers are invalid in states like CA and NY.
For a write-up on the case that explains the issues, see @joelrubin article from the @latimes: latimes.com/local/lanow/la…

In continuing her record of seeing the future, @MichellePhan launched her own lo-fi inspired YouTube Live radio station in June. Right now, it acts as a distribution channel for her licensing startup Thematic's catalog, but I believe we'll see more of this
@MichellePhan Variety covered this, featuring some comments from her. variety.com/2019/digital/n…
@MichellePhan YouTube's lofi hip hop and chillhop streams are something really interesting. They generally outperform all other YouTube Live streams. They're simply a lo-fi inspired radio station playing over an anime GIF. It's a simple recipe. They shouldn't really exist in the Spotify era.

2nd #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what do you currently see as being the major obstacle to women entering your field?'

Responses incl gender career stereotypes from an early age, lack of self-esteem and lack of female role models #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think that there is not enough awareness of female role-models in my field. There need to be more initiatives that allow young women to connect with female role-models so that they can be inspired and motivated to follow in their footsteps."
2. "Discouragement from teachers in high school to pursue a STEM career and an unwelcoming atmosphere in technical universities."

1) I’ve re-written the start of this tweet storm 5/6 different ways, but it ends up the same: the #NXVIM cult has so many separate lines of inquiry that it’s too early to really understand it. But some themes are starting to emerge, please follow along.

#Qanon #TheStorm @POTUS
2) This is going to be disjointed, stick with me and join in because I think this story lays themes & foundations for what’s going on in elite circles for sex trafficking & may even touch at the edges of things more devilish. Oddities and observations...

#MAGA #TheStormIsHere
3) Building a picture of what this cult is, the first oddity? Being based in Albany, NY. Albany? Then I started to consider why. Albany is the seat of the NY government, and deeply tied to NYC, where a lot of elite people live; have certain proclivities.

#THREAD: I am at the #COMMA2017 content summit conference. I'll be discussing #ASEAN integration, the digital media landscape and the #millennial agenda.

What is the future of news and media in ASEAN?

Stay tuned!
#CeritalahASEAN started with Ceritalah 25 years ago in the early 90s - during the height of print media. In those days, The Economist, The Straits Times, The New York Times, were really flourishing. Much of the 80s and 90s, I met with and talked to editors across the world.
Those publications were really dynamic and powerful.

But we've seen those publications come down. WSJ stopped printing in Asia. Jakarta Globe stopped printing in 2015. KiniBiz, Volume in Thailand also stopped printing....

What has come up to replace those institutions?
