“Do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people” 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦🗽🇵🇸 🏳️‍⚧️

MAGA thinks it can simply change sides over night, throw Americas allies to the wolves, make friends with its historical enemies, and maintain American dominance at the barrel of a gun. You now have no allies and soon to be zero economic leverage. Congratulations, you played yourselves.

America has turned its back on the world. And in turn, the world will turn its back on America.

“Ok Google, show me alternative search engines”

America fumbled their own success. The wealthiest nation in history could’ve provided every citizen a car, a home, health care, education etc. but GREED and RACISM was more important. Now you’ll go the way of every other dying empire and a new superpower will have the chance at an honorable legacy.

The international community must immediately urge the Iranian authorities to halt the execution of arbitrarily detained humanitarian aid worker Pakhshan Azizi, who was sentenced to death following a grossly unfair trial. Read more 👇

I don’t expect MAGA to see the world as I do, or even to agree on most things, but have a standard, have SOME values, set the bar SOMEWHERE. When someone does a Nazi salute, you call it out, you disavow that person. You don’t make any excuses. Too many suffered and died to make light of that bs.

Trump comes at you real fast

The fact that Donald Trump, a despicable excuse for a human being, a criminal, a sociopath, a man whose name is synonymous with greed and corruption, not only rises in our society but can attain the top echelons of power is a testament to how far from a moral and just society the United States is.

Ashley Babbet likely would not be dead if Trump had not lied about the election being rigged. There likely would be no mob that day and she probably wouldn’t have been there. And now he continues to use said victim of his lies as a propaganda tool. What a sick deranged pos.

You’re crazy if you think any of the alleged “waste” that DOGE cuts is going to be redirected to benefit the American people. All will be going straight into billionaire coffers, whether it’s Elons, Trumps or any of their associates. This is what happens when you hand the keys to the kleptocrats.

Correctional officers in New York beat Robert Brooks to death while he was cuffed in the infirmary. Grapic Video in the article. 14 officers were involved/witnessed, none intervened. The body cams didn't record audio because they were in standby wnyt.com/top-stories/...

Amazing that MAGAs are only just now finding out that the reason such a high percentage of Elon Musk's workforce is foreign-born is because he wants a captive audience he can abuse due to their visa fears, rather than an US workforce that might engage in behavior he deems distasteful like unionizing

This is exactly what I imagine an authoritarian fetishizer would look like too.

Bernie Sanders: “My friends, what we are looking at here has nothing to do with democracy. What we are looking at here is oligarchy.”

On the scene of the Amazon strike in Maspeth, the NYPD is trying to break the picket, engaging in arrests of union members and engaging in physical confrontations with workers and their supporters.

The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters. Let's fucking go! 🔥

Protestors in South Korea essentially held one of the largest pro-democracy raves in modern history.

Day 15. Today, there were various protests all day. 17 different protests are happening tomorrow just in Tbilisi. Protests ongoing in the regions too. Release the unlawfully detained and tortured; schedule new, free and fair elections. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

“…The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

What an absolute pos. A little late for the warning. History will not be kind to the GOP, nor should it. www.ft.com/content/11d2...
