The only A.I. I support is Abolish ICE.

If we absolutely positively know who’s destroying the country.

And we know they won’t stop.

And we know HOW they do it.

Why do “WE” have a crisis?

I’m not saying there is no crisis. But here’s the question:

IF the only thing that changes is WHO gets to vote.

And if white people ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS vote the same way…

And they elect people to uphold Jim Crow, mass incarceration and anti-democratic principles

And NO ONE ELSE EVER DOES…

Tax Day 2026: The Average Taxpayer Paid $4,049 for War and Weapons - Institute for Policy Studies Tax Day 2026: The Average Taxpayer Paid $4,049 for War and Weapons

Don’t know about you, but we’d like our tax dollars to go toward programs that benefit us, our neighbors, and our communities.

Is this how you'd distribute your tax dollars?

$1,870 of that $4,049 went to defense contractors.

More than twice as much as what went toward troops’ pay, even as many troops rely on food stamps to feed themselves and their families.

Meanwhile, the average CEO pay at the top Pentagon contractors in 2025 was $24,632,610.

$4,049 from the average taxpayer for weapons and war.

That's...
-32x the $124 paid for school lunches and other nutrition programs.
-213x the $19 paid for the U.S. Postal Service.
-119x the $34 paid toward public transit.
-253x the $16 spent on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

The federal government
took $4,049 from the average taxpayer to fund war and weapons in 2025.

When you compare that to what went toward programs that actually help us…
the gap gets hard to ignore: 🧵

The actual doomerism is scapegoating responsibility for him on some deus ex machina like he fell from the sky. He is part of your world. Especially if you're white. You take part in his attitudes all the time. You actually get rid of him by restructuring your society that made & fully endorses him.

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

The thing I think many peeps resistant to the idea of open borders fail to remember? The world already basically has open borders.
If you have money.
Seriously. Those with wealth can generally live wherever they want.
Maybe everyone should have that opportunity.

Impeachment? Hell yeah. Arrest and prosecution? Yup.

Calling him a pussy for not hitting the nukes or attacking and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people? Maybe put a check on that one.

Idk if "president caves" and "lmao TACO" is the discourse we really want to be having.

Especially when narcissists want to feel big and strong and powerful.

Just an hour ago, we were all really worried about nuclear war and/or the commiting of horrific war crimes.

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’

This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is.

So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

The way some of y’all have spoken to and about Black women who are offering a fact check about political conditions in a very white state with active Nazi and white supremacist militias is very telling

Black women are easier to swing at so you’re producing us as social media punching bags

So many people on this app operate like being a racist isn’t like being a Nazi and that’s interesting

Y’all can talk about Platner’s problems without minimizing the fact that Mills, an actual elected official right now, refused to protect citizens from the gestapo, has had bad relations with Indigenous folks, and doesn’t show up for communities of color in Maine

That’s Nazi shit too, you fucks

And yes the way people talk about Platner’s tattoo and the antisemitism associated with Nazi symbols while never discussing Mills’s racism is problematic and speaks to the way that racism is not treated as disqualifying and antisemitism is treated as uniquely bad

Signed,
A Black Jew in NH

Platner doesn’t need endorsements and Mills does Nazi policy as a lawmaker

So I think folks should stop with the external endorsements and let Maine‘s voters — including the POC who are deciding between shit and shit — figure out what they’re gonna do

People shouldn't feel bad about previously admiring someone when they didn't know about the terrible harms that person committed, but we should challenge ourselves to consider how pedestalizing and prioritizing the legacies of charismatic leaders can create harmful dynamics. That can be addressed.

Rather than talking about "horse shoe theory," which is bogus af, couldn't we just name that certain bad isms exist across political spectrums and that grifters are a thing?

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

SO GOOD! "the idea that my political ideology is synonymous with hating technology is confusing. Every leftist I know has a hard-on for high speed rail or mRNA vaccines. But the “left is missing out” blog positions generative AI as the only technology that matters." -- @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

Mayor Mamdani Breaks His Promise to NYC Public Libraries The Struggle Against Defunding Libraries Continues...

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Ew. Just ew. Bragging about separating families and tearing apart communities is gross.

Also, Obama did put children in detention centers. Where do you think Homan started down this path?

When people say “but socialism’s doesn’t work” ask, how many of the socialist countries he names were invaded, sanctioned, etc by the US to make sure socialism didn’t work?
