“Well everyone doesn’t use the Marxist definition of class” maybe they should. Maybe it would be better than vague abstractions leveraged to make people feel better. Maybe it would inspire more solidarity between people that are one cancer diagnosis and a job loss away from bankruptcy. Strange
Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult
The work that needs done to create a decent world is massive, but nobody is coming to save us. The psychopathic children are in control, but we are the adults in the room — those of us who care about universal justice. We simply have to find a way, everything depends on it.
Thinking that the Democratic Party has some moral high ground over Trump is ludicrous. Both are guilty of genocide. There is no rule book, no set of values or principles, only power and who wields it. The Democrats are the same, in fact they made this very moment.
While Israel and the US commit genocide, the US ruling class goes apeshit because some cars are vandalised. The sheer divide between reality and the concerns of the oligarchs have reached inconceivable proportions. We cannot let this continue. This depraved order must end.
Palestine wants justice
Israel wants tyranny
There is nothing complicated
Elon Musk spent $44b to control what you can and can’t talk about, then used that power to support genocide. That should make you hate him as much as anyone on this Earth.
Intelligence agencies funding anti-intellectualist propaganda to flood the information space with noise, rendering it impossible for people to understand the world and usefully organise against power, is killing us
God doesn’t act, people do. You can theocracise that away into people being the hand of God all you want, but you are people, so act. Nobody is coming to save you, you’re here to save yourself.
Nothing has changed. Not really. It’s just that now, the victims of WESTERN IMPERIALISM have smartphones. That’s it. Now they can show you what your governments are doing in real time, show you the infant skulls as they mount up.
So now, you’re culpable too.
Everything they taught you that you should oppose is happening right fucking now, under your nose, on your watch, and the victims of your complacency do not have the luxury of turning their phone’s off
BREAKING: The DOW is on track for its worst April since the Great Depression, critical cancer research could be impacted as a Harvard scientist has been detained by ICE, and Trump's approval rating plummets.

Dr. Josephine Baker fought for milk testing in lower Manhattan over a century ago, where babies were 7 times more likely to die than WWI US soldiers in the trenches. Milk was often adulterated with chalk and germ-y water. Today the FDA stopped testing milk due to lack of staff. Shame on you, Trump.
Scorpion and frog "the scorpion won't sting me if i grovel and beg enough"
If you're trying to forecast anything about this administration there has been only one reliable principle since the beginning and that's "It will be worse than you think"
I will quit my job and work for any candidate who promises to put the leadership of this administration in the same overseas gulag they've been shipping people to
I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird
I didn't pay much attention in my high school US History class, but one thing I remember is that the whole point of the US is that we didn't want a king.
Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.
My favorite. She must have Scottish blood.
Life gives you lemons.
