no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

"Like a bunch of gangsters": 100+ nations were set to approve a historic plan to slash pollution from cargo ships. Then the US stepped in. Diplomats were stunned by “nasty” and “very personal” threats, including blacklisting, financial penalties, tariffs, sanctions, and the revocation of US visas.

What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

2026 ass tweet: The Zionist Ritchie Torres dropped out of the Bronx primary because he might've lost to PSL's Andre Easton in the general. If you want the Dems to go Zohran Mamdani instead of Ezra Klein, threaten them with the PSL (also, vote Andre for the Bronx 🙌💪)

NEXT WEEK'S PATREON: imperialism in the twenty-first century w/ john smith

New York City's now got a mayor-elect who just quoted Eugene V. Debs within the first few words of his very first speech after winning the election

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

i know he’s fun to laugh at but we really need to start enforcing corruption laws again, and the statute of limitations has absolutely not run out

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Idgaf I’ll say it. I love socialism because it works. And it’s what capitalism reverts to any time we need temporary relief.

I know exactly who needs to hear it but it's not useful to slap a "rude" label on posts if the definition of "rude" seems to be "our pearl-clutching site leadership thinks it's in poor taste"

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

how you can tell even conservatives hate Dick Cheney: The devs haven't banned anyone for clowning on his death

Curtis Sliwa, a complete maniac and deeply prejudiced republican, has treated Zohran Mamdani with more respect than a gigantic chunk of "liberal" politicians and public figures. He has treated him like a human being which is more than I can say about shit like this.

Dick Cheney was a bad person and im glad he’s dead

"Not to be too woke" during burgeoning American fascism is crazy. "The one friend that's too woke"—you've seen dead babies for 2 years and a research institute said there would be 4 Billion deaths before 2050 with unmitigated global heating. Americans go kicking and screaming towards a decent life

how do these people not understand that warm-and-fuzzy democratic socialists are the absolute best case scenario for the future of the democratic party lol

When the suspects appear to be white guys, it’s not a bombing — it’s an intentional explosion.

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

if everyone keeps listen to people like ezra klein the democratic party nor the left will ever win again. this type of framing and mindset is a failed ideology

"what if... there was a THIRD way, you know, instead of flat out naziism or giving people basic human needs, what if we offered a third choice: absolutely nothing."

Not left. Not right. (right).

this guy sucks. liberalism sucks.

At the time of his death, Kissinger was worth $80 million. A 2023 study showed that Americans who make more than $300k a year live an average of 14 years longer than the poorest one percent.

Sometimes it becomes extremely clear that there's a vast difference in how neurodivergent folks & neuro'typical' folks communicate. Our fun is seen as irritating, our directness offensive. Its fascinating to see when allistic folks generally think its odd to not lie in general chats for the vibes.

i’m glad people are coming around to the fact that Dawkins is a fucking asshole who only got any kind of regard because he made his career out of dunking on christians… like yeah bro that isn’t hard. he’s always been a center-right bigot who hid behind his veneer of “rationality”

There are many reasons I miss Link but one is his tireless advancement of accessibility on this website *please fucking at least rip the text off your images and add them as alt text

"I have villages to turn into cities and they're making me deal with this spray-tanned jackass instead."

American so-called "democracy" is a situation where blue maga genocidal democrats and red maga fascist republicans, are two wings of the same capitalist, white supremacist, and imperialist party. Both parties are beholden to the capitalist ruling class (multimillionaires and billionaires).

It is true that labor produces for the rich wonderful things – but for the worker it produces privation…It replaces labor by machines, but it throws one section of the workers back into barbarous types of labor and it turns the other section into a machine. www.marxists.org/archive/marx...
