Next election is like prime time for socialists and communists to run for local office

Wise man…

'Palestinians in the occupied West Bank dread announcements of stepped-up Israeli forces attacks while Israeli security services conduct an investigation and vow to strike back', reports Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh. 🟥 Read report: aje.io/6w4u9c

is it good if over half of americans think we currently don’t live in a legitimate state?

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

we fight for jocelynn ✊ humane treatment of immigrants should not be a partisan issue. they're just as much deserving of dignity and respect as anyone else. www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-...

"Just vote with your dollars" ok I get five votes and Babykiller Brian over there gets 5 million. This is a good and effective system for measuring public opinion.

The thing that fucking baffles me most about liberals is their weird obsession with apathy. As if not caring about things is somehow the highest virtue. Any ideal beyond vapid consumerism and self-isolation is considered extremism, and should be ridiculed or ostracized. It looks fucking agonizing.

I think the general internet argument view of “you have emotion about this event har har, you’re triggered, you have an emotional response to cruelty har har” has been a complete disaster for humanity both for the person being told that and for the person saying it

How am I fighting Trump? By giving him every single thing he wants every time and asking people not to yell at me

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

i’m way too excited about a bluesky-based instagram replacement. i just really want musk / zuckerberg / all evil rich billionaires that control all online spaces to lose everything

Lesser Evilism results in a government made up of people that won’t do anything to stop the evil

i hope it’s clear that big tech is not an ally. it only was as much as it was profitable. textboon rainbow capitalism, and now when they saw the writing on the wall, they flopped back into fascisms arms

Great news: the Super Bowl performer who raised the flags will not face charges.

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

"We don't want to leave, not even for a moment." This Palestinian woman returned to the Jenin refugee camp where homes were forcibly demolished as Israel continued its deadly raids across the occupied West Bank.

I hope Kendrick's halftime show is the blackest show on earth cuz we're not going to see another Black halftime show

Think the big misunderstsnding amongst liberals is the left does take fascism and the right as a serious threat more so than the dems, but their staunch critiscism of liberals is because they dont want to go into this fight with a bunch of allies who are going to make excuses or worse sell them out

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

Harvard just put out a statement on the research cuts from the NIH. They completely underplay the gravity of the cuts and do not point the finger at who did it. It's a politically feckless statement in the face of cuts that would gut university budgets and hobble scientific research for decades.

Visit me in the camps

Beyond crushing. Nature released a study a little while ago proving these policies increase suicide attempts among trans kids — and lawmakers pursue them anyways. Cruel beyond comprehension. I am so sorry this is happening.

like what is anyone supposed to do with this when you open any app and see this shit immediately

Cybersmith (the human pet guy) is such a perfect example of how complicated, and seemingly contradictory, people can be. He has some of the wildest, most shit takes I've ever seen and is kind of a cunt to groups of people, but he's kind to individuals. He gets earnestly angry on behalf of strangers
