An engine of wealth redistribution.
pinned post!
There are forms of power that require consent: laws, rights, institutions, elections, norms, ethics, morality... They only function when all sides agree to a shared premise. We are no longer in one of those moments.

The underlying thing making democracy impossible is the vast fortunes of the extremely rich and any Democrat unwilling to support wealth taxes is not interested in addressing America’s biggest problem.

I have liked Matthews. The loss was even softened a little by being happy for him. But there's no excuse for today. He should be traded.

This is from Rubio's MSC speech. It's such a *ridiculous* frame. That American capitalists were the victims of neoliberal globalization vs. the perpetrators and beneficiaries. Fascists' alternating assertions of weakness and strength give you whiplash.

It’s good that people are learning that making people promise to be peaceful is pointless; I really wish folks’ kids didn’t get gassed though. These pigs are here to inflict terror, they’re not playing by any rules. We told everyone.

All grocery delivery apps in New York City (including Instacart) must now pay workers at least $21.44/hr. That number does not include tips. Companies must also provide workers with annual increases adjusted for inflation.

You can picture how it must have felt in there. Four fucking Nazis with their shit-eating grins squeezing their fat asses into a booth at a family-owned Mexican place poisoning the entire room with their smug impunity. Desecrating a place of community

It’s quite something to be Palestinian and watch the surprised Pikachu faces of western leaders at how the “international rules based order” is gone. You did nothing to stop its destruction. You only care now because it affects you.

Carney's speech is another example of how Canadian strength is invisible to American sensibilities. That entire speech is a call to arms, anchored in resolve and defiance, backed by /every/ form of power we command, and entirely devoid of the histrionics required to be noticed in American discourse.

The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland

Thousands of people in the Twin Cities are mobilizing against ICE. Federal agents roam the city attacking people at random—but everywhere they go, they meet resistance. What happens in the Twin Cities will determine what happens to us all. Don't surrender to fascism.

THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.
