I see a purpose for it. Socialism was a bad word in the U.S until Bernie ran for president in 2016 & today socialism is more popular than capitalism for those under 40 years old. All it would take for the slogan degrowth to become popular is for the right person to make it popular.

🚨 ALERT🚨 ICE operating in South Seattle. Abductions yesterday, agents spotted today in Othello. Be on the lookout:

It is genuinely insane how the opposition party does not want Trump to be removed from office.

I did, and got this sweet picture of the Salish Sea & Vashon Island from the train.

@senategabe.bsky.social appoint me as a six month member of Congress and on day one I will file articles of impeachment against RFK Jr AND I will give a 10+ hour long filibuster speech against the made up bull shit that chiropractors are, then file a bill making chiropractors illegal.

While not quite gas chambers (yet) I would say we've already seen the beginning of their final solution. They will, as Germany came around to figuring out, find other industrial means to mass murder undesirable populations, that doesn't draw news outrage against the military.

The U.S has so much segregation today that per the UN definition of apartheid, we actually currently surpass South African apartheid. In short, we still have apartheid, we just call it "zoning" because that lets white people sleep easier at night thinking they're not actually white supremacists.

I wrote a thing. Build trams, but build them well. Understanding what tramways are, what they do best and how to employ them. open.substack.com/pub/marcochi...

The Supreme Court of the United States is an illegitimate body, and every Democrat should run on negating and replacing it

If we want fascism to end in America, people like Alex Karp have to go to prison forever and palentir must be destroyed their databases erased, and its tools destroyed. Anyone in a high level at the company must go to prison as well. This is bare minimum stuff for rebuilding democracy at some point

The world is already in a worldwide war with fascism. They just won’t call it that yet, but we will come to look back at moments like this as part of a longer term fascist war against Democratic Society and opening shots in a global war for the future.

So then tell the truth: the economy is a ponzi scheme.

The economy is a ponzi scheme.

Whenever I can't think of a speech that'd take hours to deliver, I'd just bring a book and read a book out loud as my filibuster, to gum things up. When I was in HS, I'd sing at open mic, so maybe I'd just have singing filibusters silly little concerts to halt things.

I should be appointed for this role. I once stood at a packed city council vote on recriminalizing drugs and told my story of self harm (cutting) as a means of saying "I don't see y'all trying to ban razor blades today" I'm strong.

Well Mark Kelly should probably be thrown in prison, because of his aid and comfort for insurrectionists via confirming these judges & all the times he gave UC @senategabe.bsky.social

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

Matt Yglesias is wrong. "America" could be bad, and immigration would still be good, because freedom of movement is a basic human right in of itself. Human beings are naturally a nomadic species. Borders are just lines drawn on paper by European Aristocrats enforced by thugs with guns.

I don't think they can say that which is why they don't. Some of them don't have a problem with what he is saying. The entire caucus should have been up in arms on their COLLEAGUE Ilhan Omar's behalf. They haven't been.

Will Stancil is European, so he doesn't realize that Trump is the perfect embodiment of what the U.S has been since its founding. Donald Trump is the U.S with its mask off. Stancil doesn't wanna have a reckoning with the foundational core/myths the U.S was built upon, because he's a European.

Any best of movie list for 2025 that doesn't have Sinners on it at all is white supremacist If Sinners isn't very close to the top, it is hella suspect

This is a profoundly anti-Black country. Not just racist but ANTI-BLACK. It is foundational and everpresent.

US policing IS inherently racist and has always been. This is not controversial. The fact that people pretend that it is IS actually the problem. You're welcome.

Imagine if Sam Altman were held just as criminally liable as if he had personally encouraged users to kill themselves, generate CSAM, and stalk women. If any random person were going around doing that shit, you wouldn't base almost half the US stock market on them. You'd have em arrested.

He will always be an icon, he will always be a legend and he will always be the moment 🤍

this headline is what happens when you have no ability to talk about race: “US pauses all immigration applications from 19 non-European countries“ What a totally tortured way to say “global south” lol www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Maybe not a secret, but besides the rape trafficking, the other two big ones that virtually all of our elites are involved in, are drug trafficking and weapons trafficking. Our govt & economic system is basically just the Mafia but with nukes.

At least the Dems treason/complicity with insurrection is out in the open for everyone to see, making guilty verdicts easy to hand out because there's no secret evidence of fascist collaboration they can sweep under the rug.

Every last one of these cars should be destroyed.

Using AI is literally violence. Data centers cause cancer, they cause water shortages, they cause inflation of energy prices. As usual, Will Stancil accuses others of what he himself is doing, which is violence. Stancil hides his violence behind the innocence of white supremacy.

The low temperature in a week is gonna be 48 degrees. That is pretty warm for a mid December night. We need a volcano to go full Tambora 1815. Any takers?

I don’t think we as a society are really aware of the extent to which some people just outright hate kids. In this case, a city councilmember in King County, WA would prefer kids walk in a ditch than have a sidewalk installed.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

"Elon Musk is personally responsible for the deaths of at least 400,000 children" is a stat that should be cited every time he and his pervert fanboys start yapping about birth rates

Will Stancil knows that the economy is a ponzi scheme, but he refuses to state as such, because to do so would require him to say her name.

The problem is too many Dems share the same racist beliefs as Trump does, they just speak in coded language/don't dress up as Nazis. But guys like Senator Chris Murphy have bragged openly about trying to push deeply racist border policies. Even Bernie is pretty racist on immigration.

good news everyone the Mistaken Text From Grandma Thanksgiving buddy drama is still going strong this story delights me every year

We're at the point of hoping that the Ethiopia volcano erupts again but bigger, or that one of our Washington volcanoes wakes up, or that Oregon's volcanoes show Indonesia who's boss, so that we can cool off for a couple years. We need a fresh hot basalt mixed with rhyolite.

Abstracting Divinty by #HeatherMarsh lays bare the mechanics of cult power structures - what they are and what they are not. #DismantleADictatorship #3E

Yes. I'm 33, and I can still do my little bunny run (my bunny run is when I'm up on my tippy toes and my feet barely touch the ground as I'm running) its just that I go so fast that I sometimes black out.

Will Stancil failed geography class, because the very first two cities he mentioned are coastal cities. Detroit and Cleveland sit on the Great Lakes.

Detroit, Milwaukee, and Houston are all coastal cities, wtf is Stancil talking about? Houston sits on the Gulf of Mexico, Detroit & Milwaukee sit on the Great Lakes, as does Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Buffalo etc.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water. What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains. And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

Ironically @heathermarsh.bsky.social is the golden ticket here, because not only did she tell everyone about Epstein 10+ years ago, she's also the one who wrote a long time ago that the economy is, in her words, a ponzi scheme. And she isn't wrong.

Fucking awful, and also highlights why having independent local media that doesn't just reprint law enforcement press releases is essential for holding people accountable.

"This is not national security. It is a mafia protection racket available to the highest bidder." If you have never listened to this 2018 Heather Marsh talk at the Oxford Union, do it now. #3E #BindingChaos #OpDeathEaters georgiebc.wordpress.com/2018/05/31/t...

For those of you who have wondered why you have never heard of Heather Marsh or #OpDeathEaters before, this is why. She aims for all of them at once, always has. The whole point of OpDeathEaters is to get them all. #3E #EndImpunity
