It really seems like this is the first time the mainstream conservatives are hearing about the fact that there are far-right groups that hate them as much as they hate Democrats. Like guys...we've been trying to tell you this. For more than a decade now.
You’re just a Zionist mouth piece at this point, undercounting by hundreds of thousands.
it’s so cool how almost everything is a scam and is simulatenously killing us
Civility means way too much to some people. Actual mass suffering doesn't get them riled up as long as it's orderly and legal.
If there's one thing I want folks to grasp about this election, it's this: substack.com/@sarahkendzi...
Because authority figures are projecting normalcy and emphasizing the importance of a smooth transition, average people are not alarmed even as trump is promising a militarized deportation program (which will expand into a going after everybody program)
I’m pretty much out of advance knowledge but if there’s one lesson we’ve learned from this it’s that the people telling you to calm down because it won’t be that bad are almost always wrong.
It’s not a great sign that Trump’s win was marked by no major protest activity. Even the first time people just went out to the streets as a show against it. Now the vibe is more resignation than anything else.
The new Overlook Walk Waterfront turned out pretty good.
I’m not upset that the resistance liberal accounts have joined, I’m upset that 60,000 people who like “Mueller She Wrote” have joined with them and may or may not listen to us when we’re like “they are taking your money, please do not let them take your money”
Calling it a ‘compromise’ to posthumously tie Harriet Tubman - a legendary anti-slavery icon - to the imperial forces of oppression undermines her legacy and the very fight she stood for. This isn’t even symbolic, it’s a slap in the face and co-opting her to future oppression.

"There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today."

Trying to cope.
It’s always nicely titled legislation with bare minimum policy and lots of holes to make sure people still suffer, especially if it’s meant to help minorities.
Always remember: Shut the fuck up.
Chappell was right - Kamala ran a neocon campaign with right-wingers by her side like Liz Cheney while telling people that the Republicans were fascist. She was warned about abandoning the base and she didn't gain any R votes. It was the worst campaign in modern history.
Why’d people reject Kamala’s social fascism?
Shitlibs are beyond evil.
Institutions will not save you from fascism. But they will serve it loyally.
"Accreditation is important to colleges as it is often tied to receiving federal funding."
Josh Kruger was a horrible person, exploiting and abusing already hurt people.
American math is having money taken out of your paycheck each month for health insurance and still having to pay copays and deductibles but not wanting Medicare for All because you might have to pay a bit more in taxes.
It is possible to think that the Israeli apartheid must end now, and that the bombing of Gaza is a war crime, and also think that Hamas indiscriminately murdering civilians is a war crime. It's not even a paradox or a logic puzzle, it's a basic consistent moral position.
COVID happened and they were afraid of market capital stability with all of those new problems and a full-out transition - the jolt would have been even more catastrophic. Their policies and agenda are still in motion and the people involved in the corruption never left. From Garland to Biden.
Reported deaths in Palestine
All of a sudden people care about the citizens or something…
In case you associate fascism with uneducated ("working-class") people, here is a reminder that the early adopters of that ideology tend to be very well-educated - business owners, academics, professionals.
Yes, we should give people money to survive off the streets. Homelessness is a product of capitalism and our federal governments decades long lack of policy. How does that relate to this in any way? Stop acting like a city can solve a national issue.
It’s not conspiratorial, it’s playing out and it’s why he’s untouchable beyond theatre to weave a narrative for them to claim there is no other choice, it’s the will of the “people”, a historical context that will be missing the context of his enablement. A good read is Sarah Kendzior.
