At the end of the Revolutions Podcast @mikeduncan.bsky.social theorized that revolutions hinged on the Great Idiots of History, men holding the levers of power who make EXACLTY the wrong decision at every turn and on those mistakes hangs the fate of revolutions Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

When you make every kind of entertainment hideously expensive and restrict third space locations for the purpose of social gatherings, you set things up in an almost perfect way to encourage "weekly protest as social clubs." Our billionaire overlords are dipshits.

It is February 28 tomorrow. This means a total and complete economic blackout. This means buying nothing. AT ALL Not even your coffee!

Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow. I hope you'll join me and millions of others.

Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. "That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed. "It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

one thing i've seen a lot lately that i don't care for is the flattening of "extralegal political violence" into one abstract idea that must be litigated as Good or Bad. i do not think we need to treat one of the most complex subjects in the study of politics and history as a binary

“do something!!” first of all, I didn’t run for congress to “do stuff.” I did it because I like seeing my name on signs

Oh this! The Democrats embracing genocide and not fighting it took away so many of the people who usually help on policy stuff. Like people are all up in arms about who everyone voted for but what really hurt them is the lack of organizers

if musk survives this trump term you can go ahead and put the whole of the CIA out to pasture

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

Oh this motherfucker knows *exactly* what he's doing

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Bonesaw MAGA

All right, rich people. I’m just going to do this. And if you get eaten, it’s your own fault.

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Hell ya get their asses

in terms of professions that do indeed owe you something, politician is actually one of the big ones

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

Someone's gotta do it I guess New print here! www.sonnyross.com/shop/together

it’s incomprehensible to me that you can see even a fraction of what republicans are doing or believe and think working with them is remotely a possibility. you need to crush them, like republicans are currently doing to everyone else

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

Your guide to succeeding as a political commentator in western media 1) No matter what crimes we commit, it’s justified 2) White people are always bigger victims than brown people 3) No matter how fewer crimes they’ve committed, our official enemies are evil 4) Anyone disagreeing is an extremist

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

Congress gave Mark Zuckerberg billions of dollars in tax breaks so that he could "innovate," and the best he came up with was burning $100B on XBOX360 avatar group therapy. Every american taxpayer should be allowed to chase him around with a bag of rocks

Sometimes you just have to lay down the law

i guess i never posted about it here before but president's day seems like as good a holiday as any to bring it back up: we don't have nearly enough federal holidays. that's why i think we should create around 30 more, each anchored to the friday or monday around a significant union army victory

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

When I die, I imagine I will be confronted with a highlight reel of all the times I forgot a nominal 2x4” isn’t actually two inches by four inches and my wood project ended up wonky as a result
