At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.

(1/X) The media's refusal to discuss Trump's personality disorder has made its coverage of Iran very poor. They pretend that Trump had some normal rationale for the war, some semi-imminent threat, but it's more likely he did it out of some kind of combination of a desire to distract from Epstein...

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

America isn’t being destroyed by universal healthcare, free college, feeding the poor, housing the homeless, living wages, green energy, liberalism, wokeness, or socialism. America is being destroyed by war, oil, greed, corruption, zealotry, ignorance, racism, bigotry, conservatism, & capitalism.

It was about upholding white supremacy and power.

Nuremberg style trials is the ground floor for how the monsters who brought this about should be punished, for every single one of them. Not even one ICE officer or cabinet member should be allowed to escape persecution for these crimes against humanity.

Progressives like @warren.senate.gov and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social need to clock this moment for what it is and fix their hearts. We do not support people with Nazi tattoos (Platner). We do not praise people who offer a friendly platform to Nazis (Carlson). STOP IT. BE BETTER.

21 March 1908 | A Frenchman, George Autret, was born in Paris. In #Auschwitz from 8 July 1942. No. 45186 Evacuated to Mauthausen in 1945. Liberated in Gusen II camp on 5 May 1945.

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

I never want to hear that we can't afford universal health care or clean energy or high speed trains again. For the rest of our lives, any time a Republican says "well how can we afford--" the answer is "your clown asked for $200 billion to kill civilians on the opposite side of the world."

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

"We're replacing human employees with robots because obviously, robots don't get sick or misbehave..."

Either way, I agree that it’s never been good. And if calling it “slopulism” is how more people come to that negative assessment, fine.

Similarly, the current cost of doing nothing abt homelessnes measures in the billions for any large city.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Isn't this just what Eco and Arendt talked about, how fascists love violence for its own sake?
