So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

I say it all of the time because it's true: Islamophobia in the U.S. is absolutely one of the most tolerated forms of bigotry. It's everywhere, routine and rarely challenged. It's not surprising that teenagers who swim in this water from birth would also be Islamophobic.

"Sponsor an Orphaned Child in Gaza: Bring Hope, Transform a Life."

Western capitalism did not need to be corrupted by the Russians or the Jews into being horrible and murderous, and if you are looking for shadowy outside forces to explain why your ruling class is a bunch of pricks you are massively fooling yourself.

Remember that most of this shit is the fault of white American WASPs or neo Catholics with names like Chet and Dooger, that they all went to places like Stamford and Yale to learn eugenics. I find the idea these guys were innocent babies until Israel corrupted them to be laughable.

I think it’s notable that a whole lot of Jewish (and non-Jewish!) folks are saying that the antisemitism here is as bad as it’s ever been and getting worse maybe worth paying attention to the voices of people who live this stuff

if there's one conclusion that the study of both labor history and imperialism converge on, it is that the richest people in the world are happy to burn money on control, power, impunity. and the "everything is about profit" version of anti-capitalism does not survive serious contact with either

Ultimately it's about control; for billionairists there is no cost for maintenance and expansion of their control that is unjustified, no matter how high, even if the cost is everything. The capitalist spirit intends to enslave the world, and they'll burn the world beneath their feet to do so.

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

From my family in #Tehran— “It felt like night at 9 a.m. because of the smoke. The air is poisoned. I’m so angry.” There is also fear the smoke will be used as cover for more attacks on civilians. #Iran

Imagine walking down the street and seeing a smiling couple holding hands. You walk up to these strangers and say “your man isn’t my type.”

When someone says “I really like this” movie / TV show / book / video games etc, I’m intrigued by the impulse some folks have to waddle into their replies and say “oh, but EYE didn’t like it.” What is that impulse? What’s its intention / social function?

Yes! Hot guys who are willing to look stupid are like ten times hotter for it. Grant was constantly throwing his body on the ground in silly ways without breaking character or winking at the camera to show that he's actually too good for this.

Cary Grant in North By Northwest is such an amazing character, because he’s simultaneously the most suave guy who ever existed and an abject doofus.

Yep. Ford represented a very specific kind of Being Cool By Being A Dipshit that used to be right at the heart of American pop-culture depictions of masculinity. Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart both excelled at it.

The beauty of Han Solo is that Han Solo is not nearly as clever as he thinks, but the Force evidently has taken a liking to him because he is easily one of the luckiest sonsofbitches not to swing a lightsaber.

there's something to be said about how Harrison Ford's two big pop culture characters of Indiana Jones and Han Solo both have gigantic goober energy, like, both of them are constantly getting into Situations

Hahahaha holy fucking shit if anyone ever doubts their stance on any issue just look to Van Jones as an anti-compass and do the exact opposite of whatever this corrupt asshole is doing.

Van Jones is the Tulsi Gabbard of Shaun Kings

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

The very first thing is that people need to look at the fact that for yearssssss Jews have been saying there is antisemitism on the left and for yearssssss we’ve been told that’s *impossible* and we’re lying.

Yep. The Holocaust and every past & present genocide was legal. Chattel slavery was legal. I always keep that in mind when people start throwing around the term “legality” as a measurement or equivocation of morality

I have said many times that if your internal barometer for Right and Wrong or whether actions are permissible is whether or not something is legal I view you as a danger to me and all around me.

killed by him!!!

it can be hard to really internalize the fact that every single person you meet has just as complicated and dynamic a private inner world as your own. even more difficult to accept is what they apparently choose to do with it

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

I remember hearing a story about how a group of Norwegian laundresses fucked up German uniforms during the occupation in WWII. Little things like too much starch or shrinking wool, etc. Just things to keep in mind

I also think some people need to learn the difference between someone obviously pretending they support a thing and actually supporting a thing.

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere. (Plus resources and my must-reads list!)

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

For anyone who needs to hear a song about rainbows right now. And a note to consider - The Muppets are not any one thing. When handled properly, they are capable of a rainbow of emotions, from base comedy to sublime sincerity, and creatives would do well to embrace that full and glorious spectrum.

We’ve paid rent for over 270 households so far in February and we currently have a waitlist that totals over $30,000. We distributed rents one by one. We can’t even think about March rent yet. You can help us here: gofund.me/5d4d1a571

Ugh. Behind on rent again ($1350) $darlingoftheworld if you're able! Thank you!

that is also why they keep fucking scapegoating trans people, they're dropping chaff

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

Welp it’s gotten real real if you can please help. If you can’t it’s really hard out here so share gofund.me/a5ee0064

The biggest gift to us is that he kept MLK out of his trashy mouth today.

You are more than the best or the worst thing that happened in your life. But going viral tells the world the exact opposite of that.

Back when Facebook had a “trending” section, I ended up on it a couple of times. Every time I did, it was one of the worst days of my adult life.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
