Can't really even imagine caring about birth rates tbh. I'd rank concern over it just below a potential future helium shortage and just above ants gaining full sentience via cosmic rays and toppling humanity.

Voter registration isn't the problem. People are done with this nonsense.

we HAVE to win the MIDTERMS so a DEMOCRAT MAJORITY can attatch a NON-BINDING RESOLUTION asking the GESTAPO not to wear MASKS to the OMNIBUS BILL that increases their FUNDING again

-The US sanctions against Iran are specifically designed, by admission of US officials, to cause mass misery and social discontent to the point of instigating protests. This is a well-worn playbook for US regime-change operations.

the day i see an anti-communist define communism correctly, i will feel orgasmic bliss

ICE murders moms then calls them “terrorists.” It’s so Israeli.

sadly fascist don't abide to the law

Abolish ICE. "Oh but during Obama they were more polite-" Shut up. I don't care. "Oh but what about moderates-" Shut up. I don't care. "Oh but how will we enfor-" ICE is as old as Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It's not fundamental. We'll get by fine without it.

With more than a month to go before the upcoming Chinese zodiac Year of the Horse, museums across Beijing, China's capital, are rolling out their own creative cultural products themed around the horse, one of the most beloved zodiac signs in Chinese culture.

Billionaires own all of our media, they control the narrative and what most of us see in the mainstream. We must expropriate their wealth, seize their holdings, dismantle any bourgeois focused and influenced levers of control and hand control over the media to the people and our communities.

People need to understand THIS, plus the fact that American police murder an average of 3 citizens every day - many of them Black, homeless, or disabled - and you never even learn their names. No police in this country can be reformed: ICE, CBP, FBI, DPS, local cops etc. Tear the system down.

I was incredibly sad to learn that many publishers would not publish Parenti's writings and that he was basically unhirable because his writings and lectures were a threat to the compatible left. Even leftist publishers would pull the plug on his books because he didn't write to their wishes.

In a dictatorship of the proletariat, the corporations wouldn't be fucking running the fucking country. Ever occur to you? We ain't even got room to talk about other country's governments. And the thing is, all they gotta do to shut us up is give the bare minimum of concessions.

This was always America. This has always been the American way. Its just now the mask has slipped off. Ask any oppressed people what their experience in country has been. Ask any oppressed person what its been like living in a country that's had American intervention.

You cannot fight fascism with neo-liberalism.

Anything less than the complete and total abolition of ICE makes them fascist collaborators.

Abolish capitalism and you won't have to worry about generationally replenishing the workforce that you're exploiting into an untimely demise.

That's because the Dems don't want to actually do it. They already ran on it in 2018, won in 2020, then proceeded to fund ICE even more. They don't want to be held accountable for making the promise, then refusing to deliver.

Gaza 'dying slowly' amid collapsing buildings and severe cold - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-dying-slowly-amid-collapsing-buildings-and-severe-cold

still waiting for evidence that the democratic party has any intention of stopping the nazis

4,500 names released. www.thedailybeast.com/personal-det...

I fuckin hate nazis man. I dream of a world with zero nazis on it.

Kamala goes around using fascism to sell her book and American liberals still defend her open grifting lmao.

It’s amazing how many grown adults think capitalism is some kind of innate natural thing humans do and have always done or just simple trade and bartering but with more tools

Running on policies people actually want sets a dangerous precedent that the masses have the right to influence public policy more than our generous funders and lobbyists

Sure is a crazy coincidence that all this totally organic unrest in Iran is happening at the exact same time the US empire is waging a campaign of unprecedented scale to rapidly crush disobedient governments and populations throughout Latin America and west Asia.

Every western country on earth is currently both (A) hollering about the need to free people from authoritarian governments and (B) gradually making it illegal to criticize the state of Israel.

I like this old Soviet painting. It is called "On the Eve of October. Meeting of I.V. Stalin and V.I. Lenin at a Worker's Apartment in Lesnoy in 1917", and it was made by Piotr Belousov in 1939

The counter protests in Iran backing the Khamenei government are much, much bigger than the foreign funded separatist ones. Don't be fooled by Western media regime change narratives. The vast majority of Iranian people stand with the present government.

How is this a democracy when 45% of US voters aren't represented by either of the major political parties? Dem and Republican affiliation is tied at 27% each.

Governors are like: "we will not tolerate ice terrorizing our state. To fight back we will be arresting protesters"

The first duty of a revolutionary is to be educated. -Che Guevara #marxistmonday

I always have this paragraph from State and Revolution laying around

The idea that ICE agents are "out of control" is wrong. The people in charge of them want them doing the things they are doing. ICE is not out of control. They are doing exactly what they are being told to do.

We need to appeal to median voters, by which I mean my own sensibilities, by refusing to take meaningful positions and instead diverting that energy into what's most effective: tone policing slogans to please people who've never been politically useful to us.

China again urged the US to immediately cease its blockade, sanctions and coercion in any form against Cuba, and to do more to contribute to regional peace and stability, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday.

Latin American countries are all sovereign and independent countries, and they have every right to independently choose their own cooperation partners, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday

thinking about this one again

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

Abolish ICE, then abolish all billionaires.

the top democrats aren't refusing to take a strong stance against ICE out of cowardice; they like ICE and the things it does and they want it to be there when they win the next election so they can use it. if they ever budge on this it will be because they were forced

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

i want all you "don't provoke them" "don't give them an excuse" "that's just what they want" people to imagine someone saying that in late 1930s germany and tell me what you think of that person

:^)

Dear liberals, it is from a place of love, hope, and necessity that i say to you, as nazis invade our cities, with my whole heart, my deepest sincerity, and the guidance of history: you will either become one of them, or one of us. please. please make the right choice this time. -a communist
