The Republicans seem to be making quite a big deal about Communism. If you'd like to know what scares them so much about it, here's a free audiobook of The State and Revolution by V.I. Lenin, the leader of the first successful Communist revolution. www.marxists.org/audiobooks/a...

English fans looking mighty nervous. You can almost smell their sweat through the tv screen.

"Weather map" from AI-powered pixel weather widget vs my backyard, taken at same time (I'm the red pin): For reference, Tijeras is 15 miles from here. AI wouldn't be worth destroying the planet for if it didn't suck but boy does it ever suck.

This has all the markings of a performative gesture tossed in the direction of crypto bro Senate donors, with a simultaneous wink at Trump go ahead and do what he wants. It's the closest we'll get to any meaningful regulation of the engines driving us to our doom. www.techtimes.com/articles/320...

Seems like chat is a little slow to catch on that the US is fully back at war with Iran? MSM attributing escalation to internal power struggle in Iran rather than Trump admin targeting civilian infrastructure, including a desalination plant. www.aljazeera.com/where/iran/

The U.S. is #1 in healthcare spending. But it's also: • 62nd in life expectancy • 54th in infant mortality • #1 in medical debt • #1 in medical bankruptcies

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

An agent from HSI—the criminal investigation arm of ICE—shot and killed a young man in May while responding to a local 911 call as part of Trump’s ‘Memphis Safe Task Force.’ The call had nothing to do with immigration. Jonah Neal. Say his name.

With the help of two people close to him, we have confirmed David Brouillette as the main suspect in the shooting of Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine. We would like to thank the public for their help in identifying this agent, and of course our team who worked for the majority of these 2 days.

Are we allowed to talk about Obama building the infrastructure for systematic ethnic cleansing and marrying it to the surveillance state, or nah? www.aclu.org/news/immigra...

Tired of ICE mercenaries terrorizing your community? Afraid that they're going to murder yet another person—perhaps one of your neighbors? Find out where they sleep. Go there and make sure they cannot sleep. It's easy enough. Here's how people did it in Minnesota: crimethinc.com/noisedemos

I continue to receive spam texts from the DFL in Minnesota, where I haven't lived since 2004 and despite many requests to be removed from the list. So this happened today:

The climate movement stands in complete solidarity with the abolish ICE movement. It must. The refugees that these sadistic killers target are, more often than not, fleeing climate disasters fueled by the global warming that fossil fuel companies are responsible for.

The message in chalk: "This is blood"

Someone has footage from around Maine who can help us find the latest ICE killer. Have you seen an ICE agent who looks like this on Patrol, let us know at theicelist.org/index.php/IC...

Sad news. We're re-watching Peaky Blinders & I had just remarked on his range bc I remembered him as playing mostly affable characters but he could be absolutely chilling as a villain. www.bbc.com/news/live/cr...

Buddy had a friend of his wife’s go to Book of Mormon today. There’s a sequence where the lead character dreams he’s in hell. The lead actor threw in a “Hi Lindsay Graham!” during the matinee.

New blockbusters just dropped: "Endless Summer Pet Hair Edition" "The Sheddening Part XII"

I ask you to join me in solemnly vowing to mark Lindsey Graham's grave as "Public Restroom" on Google Maps.

The ruling elite continue to show disciplined class solidarity. Why can't we?

I’m just glad Graham lived long enough to get the war with Iran he’d always lusted after and then had to watch the US get its shit stomped in.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

Drove by cars lined up for BLOCKS waiting for the food pantry to open this morning. If you think this is going to get better if the Democrats win big in the mid terms, just go ahead and unfollow me now.

Is it just me or does anyone else notice google maps rapidly becoming enshittified?

If you liked rape apologists for Platner, you'll love two state solutionists for Emanuel.

Honest question: is it a misreading of history or the current moment if I broadly compare this decision to the formation of Sinn Fein as a semi-autonomous political front for the IRA? Glad to be corrected if that's a bad take but I'd appreciate not getting slammed. Thanks.

MDd generally believe in the system. When they've had enough they usually quit for a job that's just as awful but pays more. Many RNs are anti-union. Those who get it understand the public is on their side when a strike is correctly framed as a quality of care issue rather than a fight over wages.

it’s truly upsetting to see how many people have become comfortable with doing a sex pest trolley problem

Pausa de Humiliacion

If you're so desperate to win an election and hold political power that you were willing to support a rapist mercenary with a Nazi tattoo that worked for Blackwater, you really need to reflect on today's events and ask how this could have turned out differently if you had basic minimum standards.

I have said often that white people wield the benefit of the doubt like a bludgeon. It is one of their most potent, tempting and common weapons. It extends outsized reach to bad actors, gives them leverage & is simple & effective. It has killed us many times over. So I no longer extend it.

Tfw you look out the window and see rain but the "live radar" on your fancy ai powered weather app shows no precip for hundreds of miles.

Turns out “America 250” was a temperature forecast

Politely requesting to boost this artist's account. Frugit's work is pure genius and brings joy to my wife and I on a regular basis.

Happy birthday, America.

Sure seems like betting markets on wildfires are an...extremely bad idea lol.

Liberals don't equate white supremacy and ecosystem destruction with democracy challenge: fail bsky.app/profile/mark...

The transfer of vast additional wealth to the 1% in every global crisis is not failed governance. It is the system doing precisely what it is designed to do. If you believe we need to "restore democracy," you're who PT Barnum was talking about when he said there's a sucker born every minute.

Happy 4th youtu.be/2D-l1MauBmM

millions of fireworks will go off in the next 48 hours. the protest at the center of the Prairieland case last July 4th — a year ago tomorrow — was a noise demo setting off fireworks for the detainees inside the ICE facility. did you know the federal government categorized fireworks as explosives?
