So funny how people endlessly relitigate what would happen if a Dem was in office meanwhile Amos Hochstein (Biden advisor) is on Face the Nation this week saying they thought about bombing the same shit Trump did last year

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

Marx and Garibaldi both

putting the headphone jack back in. i am a simple and practical man

Earlier in the thread this guy was lamenting an alleged red-brown alliance, and here he says *Democrats* should pass the most right-wing immigration bill at the time of its proposal that was allegedly only engineered to call the GOP's fascist bluff.

Centrism!

got a brief window into a beautiful world in which the new york knicks were good. fleeting and gorgeous. and always out of reach. goodbye, dream! travel well

Pope Leo 100% yelled at the TV for Spike to sit down during the 90s Bulls/Knicks playoffs.

Ho Chi Minh actually quoted the American declaration of independence in Vietnam's declaration of independence.

All that’s to say how the US is understood historically from the outside (internationally) is eye opening

Tangentially, the *international* history of the Monroe Doctrine is something worth looking at. For a century Latin American revolutionaries viewed the Monroe Doctrine as a basis for their own liberation; conversely Hitler and Imperial Japan cited the Monroe Doctrine to justify their own expansion

And as for the Soviets, without getting into any cultural trends or turns with Kruschev or whatever - the people of the world don’t (or didn’t) hate us in the way our government wants you to think they do. Soviet citizens didn’t stew about capitalist Americans any more than Arabs hate your freedoms

“We’re just trying to do what you guys did, throw off our European oppressors, please just let us do it.” Uncle Ho cited the Declaration of Independence and the example of George Washington often.

US being a historical force agaisnt decolonization aside, for centuries revolutionaries the world over looked to 1776 as an inspiration, from Simón Bolívar to Ho Chi Minh. Well not just inspiration, but also as a reason why the US empire shouldn’t interfere in their national liberation efforts

Benjamin Franklin on a Soviet stamp, 1956.

I never know what to say to the “what’s a conspiracy theory you genuinely believe” prompts because most of the things I believe actually and demonstrably happened but nobody knows or cares

I’ve seen it now holy cow lol. Especially with his nice play earlier too

Waiting for the highlight to drop on the app lol

Moments I regret listening to the cubs instead of seeing what Nico just did

Obama dropped more bombs than Bush on seven countries, bailed out the banks, sent the national guard to indigenous land protectors and deported 3.2 million people. Hopefully never.

The Mao-Wemby edits go fucking hard lol

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

I think if you asked the median person even on Bluesky to estimate exactly how many Jewish settlers live in occupied Palestinian territory most would be off by at least 300,000.

Dunk and Egg

the hitlerian victims of communism foundation on twitter: USSR pin awarded to farmers for "Mastery of Cannabis Breeding". Are these your "Marxist" values??

happy 4/20

Absolutely blown away by the level of discourse here. To see my work discussed like this is such a fucking joy.

this is every type of person i've bought weed from

"The US Ruling Class is a Terrorist Organization"

I often think of how the guy who was arrested for sodomising prisoners with a knife is now like a contestant on their version of celebrity big brother and comedy panel shows

Ok now that you’ve read palantirs manifesto you should check out this manifesto. You may have heard of it.
