I argue it's still "One Country, Two Systems", but Hong Kong's is ironically more rigid and brutal than the Chinese, thanks to the binding precedents of common law and the efficient ruthlessness of British-trained bureaucrats

Rip Rosa Luxemburg you would've loved american "democratic socialists"

The population living in slums in 2025 is equivalent to the population of the earth when the communist manifesto was written in the 1800s.

writing that republicans "do not seem to be considering" a full-scale porn ban, despite your own sources for this story AND republicans themselves saying they want to ban porn, is sending me to outer space nytimes.com/2025/12/01/u...

Alexandra Pavlovna Lobanova - senior telephone operator of the 254th Red Banner Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment, Junior Sergeant. During an enemy air raid on Kazatin on June 2, 1944, she repaired communication lines twelve times under heavy bombing, ensuring uninterrupted fire control.

don’t understand the optics argument from anarchists. it’s very American. “People think communism is scary so instead we should abandon making society better and just fuck off to our own insular communities. everyone who isn’t my cousin/girlfriend should die” is also bad optics.

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages

Again, it’s so weird how mad KHivers are about the reaction to the “fuck everyone who cares about their relatives being murdered” strategy. They loved that plan during the election! Look how happy they all were about it!

You're the guy running the vomit machine on acclaimed television series Mad Men, I'm the guy providing emotional support for the guy running the vomit machine on acclaimed television series Mad Men via a gentle hand on the shoulder, we are not the same (I'm your rock)

As folks have noted in the replies, the student's mother is something of a MAGA public figure (and lawyer). This is obviously a purposeful stunt to attack a trans graduate student, which is sick af and must be opposed on the grounds. It is simultaneously an assault on university pedagogy.

In a world that hadn't jumped the shark, this would be immediate grounds for the university's accreditation to be placed under careful scrutiny.

They’re terrorizing latinos with ethnic pogroms and torturing them in camps, they’re executing random people in the ocean, they’re threatening to overthrow the entire government of a latin American country, and they’re openly collaborating with the Russian regime.

Yeah. We also went from pretending that Israel only bombs hospitals by accident to them bombing 30 hospitals and the U.S. applauding within the past 24 months. I'm not sure what's worse, mask on evil USA or mask off. The latter is definitely more depressing.

⭕️ Israel Releases Nurse Tasnim al-Hams After Months of Secret Detention Israel has released nurse Tasnim al-Hams, the 23-year-old daughter of Gaza’s field hospital director, Dr. Marwan al-Hams, after abducting her from outside a medical point in Al-Mawasi on Oct. 2, 2025. Euro-Med Monitor...

Danish social workers are still pressuring Greenlandic women to get abortions, they did this before FKU was banned on Inuit, and they're continuing today. They're desperate to stop Inuit from existing in Danish society. instagram.com/p/DReyrSIDHO6/

that account location feature on twitter was the funniest shit ever they shut it down quick lmao

It is estimated that 200,000 died or disappeared during the "holocausto silento" of the Guatemalan Civil War, but frankly, it is likely that number is higher. I cannot really contemplate how many of my people have consumed in the machine in the last few decades.

They’re saying from each according to his ability — and I have the best ability, a soldier came up to me and told me, tears in his eyes, she said “you saved America, sir,” she said, cold day, she had these rosy cheeks, unlike Rosie O’Donnell, no ability — to each, to each according to his needs.

"This edible ain't shit" (takes second edible) (30 minutes later)

The fact that no permanent security council members vetoed making Trump dictator of Gaza shows the obsolescence of the United Nations

When they need to do this you know we are getting somewhere

"Border Patrol has been using a 'predictive intelligence program' that surveils and flags drivers as suspicious based solely on 'where they came from, where they were going, and which route they took.'" #USA #Surveillance #Transportation #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

Today is a pretty good reminder of why No Kings and such is so off-putting to me: it's because liberals have learned so little, and so many of them think this is simply a path "back to normal." and any attempt at showing them the deep rot of their political beliefs ends in "fuck you commie"

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

They will murder my family and this is all they will do about it, pretend that our killers don't know what theyre doing

oh yeah the new york city subway is so fucking scary, you never know what kind of weirdo you'll have to share a train with

We need to help this child eat

This is so fucking disgusting

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

OPINION: "There is a glaring omission in the wall-to-wall coverage of the Jeffrey Epstein case... The facts of the crimes and the trauma inflicted on the innocent children continue to fall to the wayside." — Paul DelPonte and Aaron Hanson

Zionists openly expressing regret for drilling the horrors of the Holocaust into Americans heads because they draw the obvious parallels to other human rights abuses is so insanely evil. Its a version of "leopards eating your own face" for people who have no souls.

ICE is nothing other than the modern klan. The third reconstruction WILL succeed

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

Puberty blockers are safe and proven - the THIRD PARAGRAPH acknowledges that children WILL still be prescribed them, just not if they're trans This is an attack on trans children, full stop This government does not care about children, full stop

I don't mean to be rude, but it is hard for me to get excited about Sarah McBride convincing other democrats to wag their finger at Nancy Mace or whatever given that McBride is, well, a supporter of genocide. www.autostraddle.com/sarah-mcbrid...

frankly do not give a fuck about where Israelis have to go when their stupid fake rape country is abolished.

“For sale.” That’s how an Israeli soldier captioned a photo of a Palestinian detainee, boasting online about his role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
