Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity

I’ll add that we should read each and every one of these essays with an assumption that anyone defending systemic abuse participated in systemic abuse. Because defending the system is a form of participating in it.

This is also a story about caste! Hindutva apologists are far more likely to buy into this kind of MAGA-adjacent eugenicist horseshit if they are also caste supremacists! (Special fuck you to Gavin Newsom for vetoing the bill that would have banned caste discrimination in California.)

"Consequences for thee, but none for me." - White Men In Positions Of Power, Since Forever

White men are historically allergic to… consequences

So ICE murdered the witness, right?

AI is just one of the big bubbles going on right now. The real economy is screwed, so the money is going into anything they think they can juice to write down a big number with a $ in front. This is not a strategy with a long term future.

They tried to smack a lot of things out of me as a child. I still have all the things, including PDA. All it did was teach me that many of the adults around me couldn't be trusted.

Your regular reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics is bc there are never any actual elite consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics. <Everyone> from the GWB era went on to lucrative gigs in media, business & academia.

All of this would go to businesses, not the consumers they passed their costs on to. Typical neoliberal bullshit.

Where have I seen diagrams like this before🤔🤔🤔

Ah yes that's it😬

Don’t make me go off about Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities again. They have to make and occupy more and more office buildings to keep this scam up. They bundle all of our debt (student loans, etc) with this crap in a huge scheme to take out loans they never seem to be forced to pay back

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Fuck gaming and frankly gamers, you'll have to sit on last year's machine folks, we're going to be facing a serious crisis in ability to service basic hospital infrastructure.

David Copperfield — so wealthy that, according to reporting, federal investigators at one point expressed concern about pursuing aspects of his case due to the scale of his financial resources.

Step 1. Create narrative that certain groups don't deserve to keep their children. Step 2. Steal children. Step 3. Sell children. Step 4. Use profits to fund legislation that keeps families in cycles of poverty, and *also* fund forced birth legislation. Step 5. Repeat.

People have been trying to tell me what is and isn't possible for my whole life and it has zero impact on what I think is and isn't possible, lol. Like I'm not the one, keep it moving.

Ppl always want to command and disrespect while wanting access to connections that were cultivated and earned. And it's like u can't have it both ways.

You impoverish the caretakers and the chain that relies on caretakers will fall apart. Class consciousness is required for reading comprehension.

i really am begging people to understand that hate and desire are not at all contradictory

This is why all those moron liberals waving off Newsom’s anti-trans position as “just about sports” are catastrophically wrong. Fuck that guy and fuck anyone defending that move. We all know where it’s headed

have struggled to come to terms with this lately and i think it’s because i would never in one million years do this. nor anything else like it. that’s not a brag or virtue signal. i literally cannot occupy the mindset of a person for whom calling the law on a kindergartner is an appealing choice

We also made little to no attempt to make your classrooms safer, or to teach you to wear masks. This is because we thought that a comfortable untruth was better for your health… than actual good health. We thought you’d prefer to believe in the tooth fairy version of the pandemic.

Dear Young People. This post is written for you… Our generation of doctors decided to let you all get infected with a novel virus without even protection from vaccines in many cases, and we already knew that some of you would be killed or disabled for life when we made that decision.

If you do… do something with this info, please dont tell no one.

"Notable names include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Martin Heinrich." HOW INTERESTING.

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

The Thiel-backed “Polymarket” is partnering with Substack bc of course they are. 1/

the goal is everything being hosted Online, where people have to pay a fee to do anything, pure rent seeking all the way down if that means they have to buy all the hard drives and video cards and ram on earth, then so be it

Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement. Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

Most of the things we "know" about famous people, political figures, even history, have been everything but massaged to straight up lied about by those in power. They didn't tell us about his platform, they just made his campaign into a joke. And "they" is both sides of the supposed aisle.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.

In fact in a functioning system a lot of us would be migrating with the weather. Boundaries wouldn't mean shit. Our "jobs" would go with us. Please fucking stop buying into this shit. You should be somewhere warm if you want, yes, but that ain't the fucking snow's fault. The snow sustains us.

YOUR AIR AND WATER COME FROM SYSYEMS THAT NEED COLD AND SNOW WHAT ARE YOU NOT GETTING CHEERING ON THE DEATH OF WINTER *IS* CHEERING CAPITALISM WHAT ARE YOU DOING

It's not that networks and corporations are afraid of Donald Trump, they're on the same page, the same team. The wealth class that owns our media and our businesses aren't being made to do things against their will, they're willing participants and even directors of ascendant fascism.

Advising someone on fundraising for community rent support. There are 67,000 people in MPLS facing eviction in March because they can't go to their jobs to make rent money. This is early-covid era levels of potential evictions. MPLS RENT MORATORIUM NOW.

Y'all should wanna destroy capitalism, so maybe y'all will be able to dedicate your time to your true purpose: DOING IT.

Every night, y'all prove that we really are just animals with language and weapons.

the claim of objective neutrality is actually an attempt to establish absolute authority over political ideology

Externalizing shame onto the Other and demanding the Other change/dissappear to fix it is the core psychological maneuver of fascism. The person who demands you agree today will demand that you die tomorrow if you agree. Your capitulation will never cure their shame, but only encourage their cruelty

There is the world that white folks desperately want us to believe that exists and there is the world that actually exists. White people are literally wiping themselves out to maintain this delusion.

kid-in-the-brown-hoodie is a whole-ass ideology

it's harder to fight back when most of the population is sick or dead. stop helping the fascists. mask up. protect yourself and your community.

The federal government has been chasing and terrorizing children since the moment whiteness touched its shore. ...you need to get THERE... and quickly. That's what I mean by catch up.

I love that social media is helping people talk with strangers across the world and understand our shared struggles and humanity. We are starting to unite. We're starting to get it. And that's what those in power don't want. Let's all unite, form a strong fist, and knock them the hell out.

"If our people fight one Tribe at a time, all will be killed. They can cut off our fingers one by one, but if we join together we will make a powerful fist."
