On Becoming The First Species To Go Extinct From Politeness, by @caitoz www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/on-becomin...

Lethal injection won't be efficient when it's time to scale up.

William S. Burroughs's Thanksgiving message. Now go enjoy your turkeys and football.

"Banana Republics" got corrupt governments foisted on them by the CIA because US corporations wanted cheap bananas.

The most mysteriously interesting thing about Jeffrey Epstein is the money. By allot.

I'm not the one to do it, but this list should be the basis of a collection of hypertext links to these quislings' other misfeasance. E.g., Brittany Pettersen of CO goes on lobbyist funded junkets to Israel; she's way too rightwing for her district and, like the other ones, needs s primary.

Good: "Release the Epstein Files." Better: "Release Epstein's video tapes."

Cops fighting corporate crime should be *uniformed* and funded on parity with the USMC. Like so:

When the press wasn't afraid of presidents:

@catturd-tm.bsky.social he's here and you know what to do.

Epstein may be what it takes for some people to get to a unified field theory of patriarchy, class, unequal justice, and Zionism.

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files. Good luck, asshole.

Yesterday's Vote Blue No Matter Who Crew: Henry Cuellar (TX) Donald Davis (NC) Marie Glusenkamp-Perez (WA) Jared Goldman (ME) Adam Gray (CA) Thomas Suozzi (NY) Cuellar faced a primary challenge from the Left but defeated Jessica Cisneros with the help of Dems, Inc. by about 200 votes.

You can buy into a mutual fund that tracks Nancy Pelosi's portfolio:

For those who say, "Communism never worked anywhere," I give you Slovenian coastal resorts in the '60s and '70s.

From 2009, former vice president of the United States Dick Cheney sat on the strategic advisory board of Genie Energy. #GenieEnergy was 'granted' drilling rights by Israel in the illegally-occupied Golan Heights region of Syria. For proper shivers, just look at who else is on the board...

Can't wait for HRC and the other genocide neoliberals to turn into loose nostalgic jellies over all the post 9/11 bipartisan warmongering fun they had with Dick Cheney.

I'm getting shitlibs and Japanese cartoons showing up on my feed. Have there been solar flares?

Dem "leadership" suck at opposition because they agree with the GOP on economics--but keep a little insincere DEI on hand as camouflage. What they won't get is that, for the Left, DEI is part of a bigger, economics-driven liberation story. E.g., slavery was unpaid labor and racism its justification.

Now Hochul is counting on Mamdani's coattails. Savor the irony--and don't forget to collect on the receipts.

I give you The Montana Plan: Corporate charters are set up at the state level, and the states decide what abilities corporations can have, e.g., engage in political speech...or commercial speech only. Further, a carpetbagging corporation only gets to do what a local corporation can do.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

If crime isn't to some degree driven by poverty, why does opening up a blood plasma selling location reduce crime? Why do universal basic income studies show crime reductions of anywhere between 15% to 42% in saturation experiments where entire communities get the income security?

Ameican indoctrination needs certain assumptions to be accepted without comment. One is the purported causal link between work and freedom (along with the corollary that the more you work, the freer you are). But farm worker peonage and billionaire laziness disprove these claims every damn day.

An accurate headline would include the phrase, "under color of law."

Look for the helpers.

schumer recruited her - the thought of graham platner winning the primary and running a genuinely aggressive race against susan collins worried him - 'bout a month ago mills was actually praising collins for doing a good job - you can't make this shit up!

Centrists hang on until the bitter end.

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

The Israelis tortured Greta Thunberg.

End clown-on-clown violence now!

Laws designed to harass the homeless can also be used against ICE.

250,000 people turned out in Amsterdam to support Palestine today. Our leadership does not represent us.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

Trump and Hegseth gave the generals something to talk about amongst themselves. Now we find out who they are. Personally, I'm not optimistic because Americans are indoctrinated into worshipping the rich and thinking of compliance as a tool of individual advancement from childhood. But good luck.
