If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

#ncpol Congratulations NC. You just learned the meaning of the phrase "cutting your nose to spite your face" Thank God you didn't vote for the brown woman, she might have sent FEMA $ and then that would be bad somehow.

not meant to dig on anyone. but quotes like this are a reminder that a lot of people are two or three stages removed from having the slightest idea of what's going on. that's not an invitation to feel superior to other people but to see the value of political organizing, good media over bad etc.

The only relevant political point is that Republican members of Congress are all supporting these tariffs 100%. They could stop them at any moment. Each day is on them. Everyone with a messaging bullhorn needs to make that clear. They can pull the plug now or pay the price at the polls next year.

America is the kid that not only eats his own marshmallow before the researcher comes back, but eats all the other kids' marshmallows as well. So yeah, delayed gratification is not our strong suit.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

If our corporate overlords are willing to slaughter Palestinian children for profit, then they're willing to slaughter your children for profit too. It's not that difficult to understand.

You are thinking of "efficiency" in the old way. The new efficiency is all about directing more taxpayer money into the pockets of douchey techbro kleptocrats

If the primary purpose of society is deemed to be profit, then slave prisons are the natural conclusion, because cost will be inevitably be seen as the greatest evil and no cost is greater than labor. Therefore cheap labor will be held to be virtue, and free labor the greatest good possible.
