luddites werent even opposed to technology just the use of technology to replace skilled workers. which actually makes the comparison that much more apt

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

"We will have to rebuild everything and we, the young people, will have to try to do everything so that such atrocities never happen again." I'm honored to share with you the second part of the memoirs of my dear, late grandmother, Jacqueline. Now: 1942-1943. ==>

In 90% of Bond movies the bad guy is either a sociopathic billionaire or the Russians. It's presumably why Amazon are finding it so hard to find a script for their Bond that Jeff Bezos will let them make.

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

''Even a modest Basic Income program could become a stepping-stone toward the most profound transformation of all: to unlatch work from livelihood entirely.'' -David Graeber

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

I know we’re all tired 🥱 But let’s see how many reposts we can get across this app Let’s go ‼️

Maybe not if you have a choice between it and a cheeseburger with fries; If you're really hungry & that's all the edibles available, it probably tastes better than okay.

Meat in Jello is not a real food.

Speaker Mike Johnson told House Republicans this week that if they can pass the Save America Act, they can reduce voter turnout by at least 20%. One of the Republicans said he believed they could actually get voter turnout down to just 18%. Johnson said, "That'd be huge for us."

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

The number of child labor violations in the US has multiplied 5x in the last 10 years. And yet, "Republicans in Nebraska, Indiana and West Virginia have successfully passed legislation in 2026 rolling back child labor regulations..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Never not a good time to listen to "Dixieland" by Steve Earle, Joshua Chamberlain forever.

Great song. Also strongly recommend the Ghost of Paul Revere with the official Maine state ballad

Doctors say that most serious childhood diseases are caused by viruses. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they are caused by radiation from 5G cell phone towers. For a busy parent, it can be hard to know who to trust.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Tax billionaires out of existence.

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton tells House panel she has no knowledge of Epstein crimes, urges probe instead of Trump Admin and Justice Dept youtube.com/shorts/KDtJt...

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Mr lyons reports that ICE is operating in the most dangerous times right now. Well Mr. Lyons the statement should have been "Having shot many innocents, ICE has created the most dangerous times in the communities in which they operate"

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 Since 1641, the Black man's ability to perform in combat was questioned by White commanders. The question should have been not whether he could fight—but why. Meet Black patriot First Lt. John R. Fox. (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Dan Koh: In the last year, this leader tried to take sovereign land unilaterally, use the justice system to jail enemies, & actively shut down independent media voices That was Vladimir Putin—the fact that so many ppl thought I was describing Trump right now shows how much our democracy is at risk

for the non-marxist gamers in the audience: this is the same logic guiding the real estate sector and it’s called Rentier capitalism www.researchgate.net/publication/...

The economy isn’t “K-shaped” for millions of people — it’s desperate for some and elite for others. 87 million people are struggling to stay afloat and 46 million are thriving at the top. That gap isn’t abstract. It’s policy-driven and it’s widening. https://seiu.co/3OhNEFl

“We intend to make people so incredibly poor, they will have to rent a keyboard and monitor in able to use the computer they don’t own.”

Maga is people with six teeth supporting people with six yachts.

It’s weird. The MAGAs are spoon fed daily outrages and have their physical health degraded by the constant cortisol pumping through their veins. When there’s a real outrage- The Epstein abuse- The outrage machine’s unplugged and they’re cool as a cucumber. Trump says move on.

BREAKING: AOC in Germany: “You are the Attorney General of the United States of America and you don't want to hold anyone of these pedophiles accountable? Resign or be impeached!"

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Oh my god

This is your wake up call to know that Trump has only one consituency and that is billionaires. Our health be damned so billionaires can make more money. We must turn out in massive numbers for the midterms and vote out every Republican.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."
