Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

Obvious pretext for censorship. It has nothing to do with propping up American filmmakers and everything to do with controlling access to information. Next week it will be book tariffs and so on.

The only foreign film I would impose a 100% tariff on is Life is Beautiful by Benigni

Good morning! It’s a perfect day to realize that the politics you’re used to are gone and never coming back so you can either think about what you want the future to look like and try to build toward that or keep trying to wishcast the country back to 1998 and be part of the problem.

Giving rhetorical rim-jobs to Our Small Businesses has been so central to American political discourse for so long, it's almost refreshing (and certainly very funny) to see the guy every small business Nazi voted for going "lol fuck those guys"

Will Jake Tapper run as many segments about Fetterman's explicit anti Palestinian racism as he did about a made up quote from Tlaib?

Perhaps the reason it took time to confirm that Fetterman is a homicidal maniac due to an alleged medical condition is because his "kill 'em all" stance on Gaza is indistinguishable from the rest of Congress

Apparently John Fetterman had a heated argument with his wife Gisele about the situation in Gaza. “They are bombing refugee camps. How can you support this?” the staffer recalled her saying with tears in her eyes. “That’s all propaganda,” Fetterman replied.

NPR did a 30-minute interview with Steve Bannon in his podcast studio that aired just yesterday. PBS had on Chris Rufo tonight. Cozying up to these fucks won’t save you.

jesse singal is being used as a primary reference by the trump administration on “the dangers of youth transgender care”. he is aiding the states objective of oppression of trans rights directly now

Happy May Day, y’all

This is nonsense. Chatbots can’t solve this problem. When faced with a friend deficit on this scale, the solution is obviously friend tariffs.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

Former Israeli amb Isaac Herzog: "God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was POTUS during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted,”

They are not. We have maybe the worst political system in the developed world, one that makes an unrepresentative sliver of voters with no principles who aren't really paying attention decisive. Every few months, they get profiled like a set of jangling keys and folks want to throw democracy away.

A highlight from the (excellent) new Ben Affleck Criterion Closet vid.

Who except literally everyone could have seen this coming

Hey @beijingpalmer.bsky.social why am I getting shitty ads from Americans for Prosperity on Ones and Tooze?

Sounds like it’s a mistake to leave public goods in the hands of billionaires who can decide at any moment they’re bored and don’t want to support them anymore bsky.app/profile/clar...

make america healthy again is all about eating more fast food and making lists of queer and autistic people but does not include cheaper or free healthcare which is interesting

The Oscar-winning documentary NO OTHER LAND is now available for rent at supportmasaferyatta.com All rental earnings will benefit the Masafer Yatta communities depicted in the documentary, especially families who have been attacked by settlers.

my plan to get people to start having more kids? make climate change worse. abolish the department of education. also milk is poison

they made up a bunch of shit about jeremy corbyn being hitler 2 so they could have this guy instead

“Painting out these movie mistakes as part of a restoration is wrong. What's in the movie is in the movie, and altering the movie to this extent is a form of revisionist history. Cinema is worse off when over-aggressive restorations alter the action within the frame.”

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

texas strangling its cheapest form of new energy in order to corruptly reward a dying oil industry is a good reminder that conservative government is what causes states to be poor, not the other way around.

Nobody cares about the processes that govern how politics and policy are supposed to work in Washington. Ordinary people care about the processes that lead to the imprisonment of ordinary people to the point that those processes are consumed as mass entertainment.

AIPAC funded primaries against black progressive incumbents and there wasn’t a peep from any of these people

This is the shot they chose, huh?

They spent the last four years telling us people who invaded the capital and beat police officers with flagpoles were unjustly persecuted civil rights heroes and now it’s taken about 45 minutes for them to be like “yeah if you write an op-ed you’re going to the blacksite that’s just common sense”

given the blatant human rights abuses and crimes against humanity, the most moderate position from the democratic party in this moment should be that they prosecute and lock up the entire trump administration and heavily sanction el salvador

Welcome to the free thinker’s podcast, the last space where you can say anything in this woke culture. Please refrain from criticizing the President of the United States and the richest man in the world because those guys are my friends. Here’s six hours about how hard it is to be a cop.

the right always say they just want immigrants to assimilate! here you have a "Maryland dad" but he's not *really* from Maryland according to them he's wearing a Chicago Bulls hat but he's not *really* a Chicago Bulls fan according to them you'll never be American enough

Generally I find “separate the art from the artist” talk pointless and usually it feels like a means of asserting some kind of accountability to compensate for feelings of political powerlessness, but today’s a great day to remember that JK Rowling actively contributes to transphobe legal fuckery

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.
