"This video is like a biscuit that is savory, rich, full of subtle flavors, and dry as a bone. I am simultaneously satisfied and parched." top comment lol this video is a 10/10 brief analysis, she has some zingers "Fortune favors the bold — but bravery is easier for the fortunate." goes so hard

This quote isnt from the Nuremberg trials, it's taken from the 1947 book "Nuremberg Diary" by Gustave M. Gilbert, where the author was able to transcribe their conversation with Goering. The context has been removed from this quote but Goering did actually say this, according to the author.

Chinese authorities are intensifying efforts to erase the memory of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

“For decades, this part of Fort Worth has languished as nothing more than a loving community for African American families and a bustling hub for Black-owned businesses,” said Mayor Mattie Parker

If you believe nobody should be allowed to amass limitless wealth and power; that nobody should be exploited or oppressed; that democracy, equality, education, and empathy are the foundation of society — then you arent a liberal. You are a socialist being gaslit by conservatives wearing blue ties.

"For some reason" It's infuriating that the vast majority of blue voters understand that the entire economic elite hold absolute control over our society, our government, and our economy, yet they are unwilling to challenge the current system. They say "no kings" but dont wish to dethrone the rich.

Boycott CBS. Boycott Ellison.

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

This is our home. We have no place else to go. We must protect it at all costs. I will never understand why this idea is so hard for anyone. You will not live forever. Let me tell you something: I will go down fighting for her if I have to. For my children and grandchildren.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

When he wins, just remember that the far right literally owns the physical voting machines as their private property

Still true

Right as always.

Quote checked it: "I have no particular love for the idealised “worker” as he appears in the bourgeois Communist’s mind, but when I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on." — George Orwell

Data centres 🤮🔪

Mussolini never said this, exactly. Also, corporatism isn't the same as corporatocracy. The basic premise of corporatism is that different social classes should cooperate instead of remain in conflict. It's complicated, and also stupid.

The banal dehumanization of homeless people in this article is insane. They dont even refer to them as people. Just "homeless camps" or "derelict boats". Not people, just objects to be removed. Directly equating human beings with garbage and toxic waste. It's so evil.

The war on Iran is a distraction from the war on Iran.

Why is anyone acting surprised still? This didnt change anything. Rich people already dont pay taxes and the IRS has no power to force them to. The government does exactly what the rich want it to do. It's not a conspiracy, it's literally an empirical fact [Gilens & Page, 2014]

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

Im often reminded of "moderate" abolitionists who dismissed the "radical" abolitionists. "Gradual reform is the only option! The slaves will have to endure while we try to improve their conditions until they are finally free 🥰" If you support the democratic party, you would have been one of them.

incredibly based minnesota

After weeks of Starbucks leadership telling every major newspaper in the country how mean Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s been to them by publicly not liking them, today she formally apologized saying she thought they knew everyone here including herself hated them already.

It's a mistake to believe the people in power dont care what we think. It's very much the opposite. There is nothing they care about more than what we think, believe, and pay attention to.

Limitless wealth inequality is equivalent to oligarchy. They are the same. Wealth is power. It's obvious to everyone. Why do we allow the rich to exist? Everyone knows the rich cant be regulated. Isnt it insane? As a rule, social norms tend to prevail over reason—until social norms collapse.

There's no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do. The purpose of a system is what it does. Democracy is not when you elect whichever economic oligarchs lie in ways you prefer. Democracy requires sortition, economic democracy, and a wealth cap ratio.

This Turnstile fan went viral for repeatedly being featured on the jumbotron at a recent concert with a message on their phone that reads “Utah says no to the data center. We don't want it.” Link: www.instagram.com/reel/DYZyTUZ...

HOA's are fascist

Friendly reminder that it is the job of all cops to literally force poor people into carceral slavery. That is their job. They catch slaves. This behavior isnt abnormal. It isnt an exception. The only thing arguably abnormal about this incident is that the victim happens to be white this time.

Democracy is not when we beg politicians to represent the public interest. Begging them to act differently than they always have is rationalizing abuse. America has never been a democracy, but it can become one. We can subvert the elitist power dynamic of their rigged system. One city at a time.

Our government isn’t broken. It works great for billionaires. For Big Pharma. For Wall Street. For corporations that can hire lobbyists. It's rigged for the wealthy and well-connected. We need to build a better system—one that works for working people.

How many times does a popular bill need to fail by one vote, or an unpopular bill to pass by one vote, until the majority of people decide the entire system is illegitimate? Elected politicians are majority wealthy and well connected. Why would they ever choose to represent the powerless masses?

Mamdani for President 💥

The establishment portrays itself as moderate, but they're more radical than anyone. Defending a system of murder, racism, exploitation, and climate destruction is far more radical than advocating for an end to those things. We arent radical. We just want to live. And self defense is a human right

Missing Indigenous Person Alert (MIPA) - Seattle, WA #MMIP Please repost

Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United. The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections. The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.

Democracy is not when we beg politicians to do represent the public interest. Begging them to act differently than they always have is simply madness. America has never been a democracy. But you can change that. We can subvert the elitist power dynamic of their rigged system. One city at a time.

That much evidence and still only one conviction.
