If the last decade hasn’t convinced you the Democratic Party is a political dead end, I don’t know what could. They aren’t the way forward to defeat fascism/the GOP, to survive climate change, to provide even the basest necessities on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We need better than them.

I don't think I need to tell bookworms, authors, and writers that, if the USPS is privatized, everyone from big stores like Barnes & Nobles to indies like the one I work for is fucked, right?

A SHITLIB: The fascists are in power. It’s a constitutional crisis. We need to unite to fight them & save the country. THE SAME SHITLIB: Hey you leftist fucks, you deserve this for criticizing Biden & not being grateful for The Best Economy Ever™. This is all on you. You dumb reactionary children.

Oh no... not ANOTHER #coronavirus with #pandemic potential... Bat-infecting #merbecovirus #HKU5-CoV lineage 2 can use human #ACE2 as a cell entry receptor This study reveals a distinct lineage of HKU5-CoVs in #bats that efficiently use human ACE2 and underscores their potential #zoonotic risk.

UPDATE - holy shit I cannot thank you all who contributed enough. We are nearly 3/4 of the way to Winnie’s goal. I’m currently waiting to hear back from the vet regarding her surgery date. If you have a little to spare, we can ensure Winnie gets well ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...

RFK's not-so-veiled threat to take mental health drugs away is even worse than it looks at first blush. He wants to replace these medications with labor camps. This fits with the larger, eugenics-informed Trump/Musk agenda. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

the fact that there are people who seem to think that the funds he is stealing from the american people by stripping away all their rights and protections are somehow going to go to them and not directly into his bank accounts makes me want to smash my head against a wall

Oh, this is actually pretty easy. The GOP have gone mask-off fascist, while Dems are proving to be spineless at best or collaborators at worst. Meanwhile, no capitalist system is set up to fend off the rich swine it was specifically created to empower.

To the libs who think we can ever go back to what once was in the wake of what Trump, Musk & their fascist cohort are currently doing: We can’t. A capitalist, imperialist nation will inevitably produce monsters like them & empower them. “Norms” won’t save us. Socialism & [redacted] might.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

Biden never had to end the student loan repayment pause; he did so because he wanted to. By doing so, he threw millions of borrowers into financial distress: www.stephensemler.com/p/how-biden-...

My cat is suffering from a terminal disease & literally lost a fang today on my bed &, despite me being unable to bring her to a vet until Tuesday, is still nuzzled on my lap demanding cuddles. I don’t deserve the love of this creature. She deserves the best life a cat can have. You’re crying too.

UPDATE - unfortunately Winnie lost a tooth today. Her disease is worse than I expected, she’s seeing a specialist Tuesday and I’m scheduling her for surgery ASAP. If y’all can help us get to $1000, that will really help out with the costs upfront. www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...

It ain’t easy work to deal with mentally disturbed/unwell people on the streets & in the subway, but it’s absolutely necessary that every resident of NYC has housing & healthcare.

"This growing body of research refutes the rampant myths and fear-mongering that suggest pretrial detention ... is ultimately in everyone's best interests. They show that even a day or two in jail can cause immense and long-lasting harm — harm that judges tragically and systematically ignore."
