Read your Orange Catholic Bible…😛

If we could stop blaming drugs for bad people doing bad things, that’d be great.

Please explain how the people and/or the workers control the means of production. They don’t? Keep “socialism” out of your mouth. This is capitalism sucking.

This reminds me of my argument on crypto. “If they have to advertise it at the Super Bowl, it’s not money. You ever see an ad for dollars on TV?”

Recognizing that there’s a difference isn’t the same thing as infighting. As a democratic socialist, I’m happy to work with social democrats against fascism, but I also recognize that the two are not the same.

Exactly one year ago today:

I wonder how this viewpoint is impacted (in US actors) by the fact that so many US liberatory movements were possible only in a moment when there was a competing system pointing at the oppression they uprooted. It doesn’t excuse their position, but it might help explain.

That’s amazing.

These people only care that the “right” people are making babies.

Anyone think these people think Just War Doctrine means going “It’s just war…🤷🏼‍♀️”?

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare.

The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

It does seem like a lot of bad-faith actors are taking advantage of disagreement over whether the Holodomor should be categorized as a Potato Famine genocide or a Holocaust genocide to argue that it wasn’t a genocide.

Our democracy is like Facebook. We’re not paying for the product (with publicly funded elections), so we are the product. We are being sold to their customers, billionaires and corporations. If we can’t change that at least, nothing else will change.

I worry that the lesson these guys learned from the French Revolution is that the Bourbons weren’t repressive enough

Make the voting age the same as the youngest age you can be tried as an adult, and they’d stop this shit fast.

Everybody in the creative industries is waiting with looming dread to find out whether the next economic crash will be a "people are spending more on entertainment for escapism" crash or a "people aren't spending anything on anything" crash

If you think you don’t accomplish enough, make sure you’re counting the time you spend taking care of others, even when it’s fun for you.

However one opposes oppression, people who do nothing will say one is doing it wrong.

Please stop making me side with the Catholic Church by attacking the good they do; I’m still mad about the evil that they do.

I have strayed so far from my childhood Catholicism it’s not even funny, but coming for the good the church does instead of the evil activates me like The Vatican Candidate.

Magyar: “No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions.”

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

There's an ambulance market (I could stop there), private equity has rolled it up, and it's now delaying deliveries, tripling the cost for cities & creating shortages across the country.
This is what happens as we shout about what podcasts politicians should go on

Only one of these shows positive outcomes in replicable tests, tho…

Warner Bros. Animation Issue Girls Watching Their Programs | The Mary Sue Does it ever feel like Warner Bros. thinks girls are icky? Here's a story that may lend credence to that theory.

Voting is a civic duty, but I’d write a candidate in.

Why do these people think rent in big cities is so expensive if no one wants to live like this?

It’s Protestantism. They could just start their own denomination and have things just as they like, and no one would care. But they want the respectability and tradition of Catholicism without the theological underpinnings. 🎵Let’s talk about works, baby. Let’s talk about works….🎵

Most reactionary Catholics are open or crypto sedevacantists and sedevacantists are just Johnny-come-lately Lutherans

The law should prevent churches that provide such care (and any medical care) from discriminating against those they care for. This is so gross.
