because we did that in 2020-2021 and it not only produced no results, it also burnt out over 100 new organizers because neighborhood councils both don’t do anything and don’t have any real power. They are containment chambers for nutjobs

when Jane Byrd became mayor of Chicago my mother said “she did it, she beat the machine” and for over a decade, almost into adulthood I believed that a supercomputer had been the mayor before Byrd

this tradition needs to end. it’s little more than a manifestation of white civility politics. republicans are building concentration camps, starving the public, and stealing from the treasury. is it too much to ask for democrats to act like all of that matters?

Love to reach the stage of a war where, after months of death and destruction, the war's foolish and unachievable goal is finally revealed in an expose based on anonymous sources.

Like LA’s transit system, the parks are falling victim to the housing crisis and the LA establishment’s inability to do anything outside moonshot ideas that require some higher level of government to back a dump truck full of money up to the city.

damn they do a pretty good building out here huh

i just remembered this concept that came to me in a dream a year ago of tax collecting combat robots in the post apocalypse

NIXON: That Grogu is a real shifty [expletive], but goddamnit does he get results. EHRLICHMAN: Scared the hell out of the Cambodians, too. NIXON: That’s what we needed over there. Someone with some [expletive] guts. HALDEMAN: [inaudible] NIXON: He’s one of the good ones, Bob.

I have no opinions on Carvana as a business, but if they somehow manage to destroy car dealerships, they will have done more good for this country than most institutions could ever dream of.

Orson Welles: I worked with Grogu. Not in film you see but on the stage. Brilliant performer but a cruel disgusting wretch of a soul. Interviewer: Pourrions-nous parler de Citizen Kane à la place, s'il vous plaît ? Welles: yes he did sell out his friends to HUAC, I will never forgive him for that

The death over the weekend is just days after a lawsuit against the site was filed with a worker claiming he was doused in liquid methane. There are like 10 baffling facts in the complaint www.expressnews.com/business/art...

genuinely hard to reconcile how good our universities are in spite of how dumb the people running them are

You don’t believe that. You want to know how I know you don’t believe that? Because you cosponsored legislation that specifically says you don’t believe that

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

It's kind of ironic that Democrats think they're acting responsibly by tamping down this kind of justified anger instead of channeling it, but it's really the opposite. Leads to disaffection, radicalization

lol any way 💅

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

The Supreme Court said Biden couldn't forgive student debt

Los Angeles is under attack! The forces of evil are descending on our city and trying to turn it into a corporate oligarchy! Join our 6 endorsed candidates this Sunday, May 17, as they play a game of Dungeons and Dragons with the great @brennanleemulligan & other special guests! tix: dsa.la/dnd

it's been obvious this is where we're heading for at least 4-5 years now — trump and his paymasters in the oil industry and petrostates are trying to shackle the US to fossil fuel so Americans can be the buyers of last resort for otherwise stranded oil and gas assets.

not me….. us. Bernie Sanders endorses our members @marissaroyla.bsky.social, @hugoforcd13.bsky.social, @faizahforla.bsky.social, Estuardo Mazariegos, and Eunisses Hernandez, because they are champions for the working class and are ready to shake up how things are run. Plug in at shakeup.la!

Last week Carl's Jr workers in North Hollywood marched on the boss due to workplace safety issues. After a co-worker of ours was burned by a piece of chicken at the fryer, she was told to use mustard; when that didn’t work, she was required to finish the shift - remaining in pain for over 6 hours!

Trump confused Taiwan with Iran, and the New York Times has again erased it from the account of Trump's presser because it's embarrassing to him They framed it instead as "Trump Says He and Xi Talked Extensively About Taiwan"

It's interesting how it is always the left wing's fault that fascists rise to power, as opposed to the centre's. This is, of course, despite the fact that the centre are the ones in power who have declared that racism is 'reasonable', transphobia is acceptable, and the disabled don't need money.

IT'S NOVA IN THE NEWSPAPER

*Runs in swinging a baseball bat “I’m a DSA member!” “What?!” “Sorry I was having a nightmare the proletarians rose up against you and I was deciding what side I was on”

alright, own up. who isekaied the congressman

"We asked Spencer if he has ever lived in the trailer, and he said no, adding, 'I have never told anyone I lived there.' However, in the campaign ad, he says squarely, "This is where I live" as he stood in front of the trailer." TMZ doing politics is good actually

If you live in LA, it is essential that you talk with your friends and get them to vote for Faizah

President Xi: My hope for our two countries is that we could avoid the Sugondese Trap Trump: What is the Sugondese Trap? Xi (grinning):

what we even doing here??

a 13th-14th century seal depicting a squirrel encircled by the words I CRAKE NOTIS ('i crack nuts')

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

There are approximately 2.8 million trans people in the US. That means FOURTEEN PERCENT of American trans people have moved across state lines in the past 18 months.

"no truths" is so on-the-fucking-nose

How do you change a voter's mind? One conversation, one tweet, or one post often is not enough. SMC member Ritti Singh in @convergencemag.com examines how campaigns can use comms to change the narrative entirely and sway voters en masse. convergencemag.com/articles/sur...

oops! you're right, I plotted and schemed against you. Here's my breakdown of what happened. I: * Contacted your bastard son * Convinced him to raise an army against you * Paid informants to familiarize myself with your habits * Slipped poison into your nightly tonic Going forward, I promise not t

Wow! You’re right to think this way. Scheming viziers are a big problem for even the smartest rulers

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

I saw a guy who figured out how to set up DHCP on an IBM from the early '80s and do Google searches with an ascii printout. If I'm going to learn what the computer does, I'd rather it be 32kb programs written in assembly or BASIC that you have to copy onto 5.25" drives. That's real computer, to me

can't get over just how offensively wrong everything in this video is: "how does banning meat ads help climate change" uh, plainly obvious that industrial scale meat production is a large climate driver "you need burger for a healthy diet" what?

Imagine being this weak

Wow he's really slipping he didn't threaten to kill ANYONE on Mother's Day this year like he usually does

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

me after I sow:

It is the responsibility of the marginalized to counter the regressive and shitty voting patterns of white people. And if they fail to do so, everything that follows is solely their fault. God forbid that white people change a fucking thing. I hate it here.
