There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Sometimes I write about the tinned fish I bring to work for lunch. I have a headache.

Elon Musk in particular shouldn't be able to shrug and walk away from what he's done to our government, if you want to run for office and a big part of your message isn't accountability for these weasels you can forget it

A tiny but wild snapshot of the current chaos

A federal court—including a judge Trump himself appointed—has spoken: Trump does not have the authority to set these outrageous tariffs that are sending costs skyrocketing and tanking retirement accounts. It’s time for the wannabe tyrant to end these devastating trade wars now.

I mutter "Jesus Christ" to myself while reading headlines far too often for comfort these days.

Tom Morello is still cool in my book

Speech crisis is at "you can't make 'liberal-sounding' movies anymore."

No matter how small the threat of communism is it is elevated and made the core ultimate and pressing threat. Any proposition to make capital subservient to the people is communist. Any proposal to make society more equal is communist. This should tell you how scared of it they are.

We better hope bird flu doesn't become a pandemic. If it does we're fucked thanks to Kennedy. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This gets more ridiculous every day. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

The campaign to terrorize the poor continues. The regime added a clause to grant agreements that will allow them to weaponize public housing funds. It continues to comb through resident data claiming to look for fraud. This is what they are really up to. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Leo Tolstoy wrote "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Then he added 800 pages about an unhappy family with 200 pages of his theories on agricultural economics blended in for good measure.

Mercy once calculated that I would need to drive two million miles to emit as much carbon as is emitted by an hour in an F-35 and I think about that every day now. Ending imperialism is literally how we save the planet. The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.

A thing I desperately need people to understand is that "illegal" does not mean "impossible." Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it can't be done. Israel's genocide is illegal. DOGE is illegal. Sending people to CECOT is illegal. The law is not a force field.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Thread time my bisches! 🧵🧵 let’s talk about food production nd how maha has made the food industry freak the fuck out over colors.

Double fuck you to the guy who didn't want to attend his alleged best friend's wedding, even though his best friend was marrying MY best friend, because he thought it would give me marriage ideas. I was a bridesmaid, FFS! He dumped me 5 months later because I "overreacted" to the election.

National parks are some of America’s greatest treasures. Targeting the NPS not only threatens the millions of acres of land it protects but also the very people who work tirelessly to make them accessible to the public. 🧵👇

Our national forests Should NEVER be for sale. The national Park land of this country belongs to EVERYONE. This is our nation's shared wealth, and it's being auctioned off to the highest bidder to be clear cut and stripped of EVERY resource. This is foul, disgusting, and unconscionable.
