Andes Hantavirus presumptive positive in B.C. as per our PHO today We aren't ready for this

Why even have a ceasefire if it means that Israel will keep attacking and you have no ability to fight back? 2,400 ceasefire violations by Israel means that there hasn't actually been an active ceasefire.

Liberals really need to reckon with the fact that a majority of the country voted for who they perceived to be a lesser evil in 2024, and it wasn't their candidate. Most people were suffering so much under Biden-Harris that they went with a president that they already knew would be terrible.

Can we please just have a functioning postal service instead? We don't need Walmart and Amazon to turn into the USPS.

I don't know how anyone that understands this still supports the Dems in any way and expresses any hesitation about the need to tear this entire system down. The longer we delay, the worse things are going to get. The crises of late capitalism are intensifying.

I have bad news for those of you that think the NYT interviews anti-establishment voices that don't already hold power. This guy is such an obvious bullshit artist. His aesthetic and rhetoric are purely performative.

"The US is the world’s biggest producer of oil and natural gas [...] But unlike many other big oil producers the US does not have a state-owned oil company. [...] Big oil companies are receiving the large majority of this extra revenue. So far, there is little sign they will reinvest those proceeds"

We're about to experience an unprecedented energy crisis.

LOL "They found that grinding work reduces an agent’s stated faith in the system. It also apparently really got Claude worked up, as it was reportedly the only agent of the three to start stating support for redistribution and labor unions and offering critiques of inequality."

The American century of humiliation

How long until the West Coast becomes uninhabitable?

If you think this is bad, imagine what’s it’s going to be like in another 20 years…

There are always just enough Dems to help the Republicans implement their right wing agenda. Conversely, Dems always end up a couple of votes short when it comes to passing legislation that would help ordinary people. It’s almost like all of this is a rigged, scripted game… 🤔

All the ridiculous posts I see from liberals and centrists really affirm the idea that everyone is the hero of their own story, regardless of how villainous they actually are.

Wall Street is desperately trying to convince itself that this time is different.

People are in complete denial about how bad the jet fuel shortage is going to get. What happens when air travel and commerce grinds to a halt because there's no fuel left?

So what's the plan after a bunch of DemSocs get into elected office and they deliver crumbs, ushering in a kinder, gentler version of capitalism? Keep cheering? Vote harder? Pretend that all of our problems no longer exist?

So Trump took a bunch of CEOs and this creep to China with him? The Epstein class, indeed.

Rural New Jersey Town Moves to Ban All Data Centers After Community Revolts www.commondreams.org/news/new-jer...

LOL

Consumerism is going to be the death of us all.

Literally Blue MAGA.

Buckle up. We've barely begun to see the real effects of Trump's illegal war with Iran yet. This is nothing compared to the pain we're all going to be experiencing by the summer.

I'm sure this will end well...

ICE agents are walking around with a list of 20 million people to detain in their pockets because of this Palantir database: www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

Of course this news would generate a ton of casual racism and xenophobia in the US.

The president that botched COVID is in the process of botching the response to hantavirus. Our last president botched the response to monkeypox and bird flu. It’s a miracle that we’re not all dead yet. Public health no longer exists in the US.

i don't think it works like that

Yet if Rahm somehow made it out of the primary and got the nomination, every Dem and “leftist” would vote for him, because they have zero standards and still approach elections with a trolley problem mindset. Then they wonder why everything keeps getting worse and fascism is ascendant.

In case you’re wondering who’s actually in charge of the country.

Because of capitalism, that's why. Seeking to profit from the next round of mass death and misery.

This isn't new. This has been the reality for many since at least 2022. It's how we ended up with Trump 2.0. 10% of the population accounts for nearly half of all consumer spending. This level of economic inequality is unsustainable.

What happened during the last Roaring 20s? 🤔

"Mild" 🫠

NEW: ChatGPT advised the FSU shooter that a mass shooting would get more attention from media if it involved several children, according to a new lawsuit against OpenAI www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

2020-2022 could have been the most transformative period in modern US history after social upheaval and uprisings showed that people were hungry for real change. Instead, all of that was thrown away to reinforce the neoliberal status quo and give hundreds of billions to giant corporations.

What people in the US need to realize is that Israel is a US proxy, not the other way around. These ghouls arm Israel because it's doing the US's bidding. The ruling class wants war with Iran. They want to steal the oil. They want to genocide Palestinians and the Lebanese. They want Greater Israel.

COVID forced me to realize that it doesn't matter how many die--people will not change their behavior, or even tolerate being slightly inconvenienced to address a societal problem. They could be personally impacted and even that wouldn't be enough to force change. People are too selfish to care.

How long until every Stancil acolyte turns into Jesse Singal?

Said the COVID minimizer.

When you live in hell, knowledge is a curse. It's almost better to not know anything and to bask in ignorance.

I'm going to say it again: Even if you give Platner the benefit of the doubt--you shouldn't--and assume that he's a "reformed" Nazi, you shouldn't be okay with electing ex-Nazis to Congress. If he changed, great. He can go volunteer at a community center, not occupy the seat of power.

Data centers are incompatible with human survival.

Just another day in the US.

Ever notice how liberals love to punch left, but when you return fire, they're always like, "Why are you always criticizing Dems? Why aren't you attacking Republicans? You must be right wing!" It's such a disingenuous line of attack coming from the people that would execute communists if they could.

Dems are the enemy just as much as the Republicans.

SocDems: "I want the US to be like the Scandinavian countries!" The Scandinavian countries:

Fuck this country. Pulte is the Twitter Philanthropy asshole that became Trump's director of FHFA. "The idea of putting data centers inside individual homes is gaining traction in the real estate industry, with CNBC reporting about a pilot program from PulteGroup and California-based startup Span."

Real-time information on the steadily rising costs of the Iran War. This is costing the US vastly more than *any* Dem social or economic proposal of the last 50 years. It would have paid for the entire original Build Back Better proposal.
