Their goal is to sabotage govt function in order to claim it doesn't work and needs to be smaller. It is how they make the case for privatization. It always has been.

Mamdani appointing Lina Khan as co-chair of his transition team is such a mic drop. The reaction from Wall Street tells you he's trustworthy and uncorruptable. He's working for the people.

The corelation between capitalists, conservatives, libertarians, and the religious is not mysterious. The confounding variable among all of them is belief in mythology, i.e. faith without evidence. The myth of a free market The myth of free will The myth of gods The myth of attachment

The right is trying to spin this to mean they were not that close. Lol gtfoh.

If you think this is badass, wait until we win. katforillinois.com/legal

Autoritarian socialism fails because of authoritarianism. Democratic capitalism fails because of capitalism. Authoritarian capitalism fails because of both. Democratic socialism works because of both. Socialism doesn't fail because of the economics it fails when the politics are not democratic.

One of the greatest songs ever written.

The solution to high prices is end artificial scarcity induced price gouging through anti trust monopoly busting. End VC oligopoly buying of primary single family homes. Monopolies and oligopolies are the inevitable result of capitalism. It's the capitalism stupid.

Carney scooping up the H1B visas that America no longer wants means the next wave of innovation is coming from Canada. Below is a list of some H1B Visa recipients.

A group of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian industrial and agricultural facilities in Tulkarem, in the occupied West Bank, causing large fires and injuring several people.

More housing, alone, is not the answer to affordability. New inventory will simply be swallowed up by the rich/VC's, who can outbid salary earners using their passive income and/or capital asset leverage.

Myth: New technology creates as many jobs as it displaces. Perhaps, when the printing press couldn't print a new printing press. Reality: AI is writing the code for AI. Robots are making the robots. 3d printers are printing the 3d printers.

Option 1: Technology reduces the workforce by 50%. Profit from labour savings goes to the investor. Option 2: Technology reduces the work by 50% for 100% of the workforce. Time freed for the workers. Which route does capital choose?

Why are rich people threatening to leave New York to avoid higher taxes if everyone keeps saying the mayor doesn't have the power to raise taxes?

Win, win, win.

No coincidence that MAGA keep falling for obvious romance scams.

Hey Islamophobes, FYI, Dr Oz is Muslim.

I applaud dems for standing their ground. They already got Trump to order senate GOP to nuke the filibuster. They won't do it, and dems will win back the senate and do it themselves. Most voters are low information and are blaming GOP for the shutdown. It's the correct political calculation.

GOP can't run on affordability in mid-terms because Trump promised affordability on day one. They would have to admit that he was ineffective, incapable, and incompetent in that goal... 2 years into his term. Game over.

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President. Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty. Endless projection. I hate him.

Community notes wins again.

A govt grocery store takes money already going to subsidized grocery stores and uses it to buy from NY and surrounding local farmers at wholesale and sells it to new Yorkers at wholesale cost. No rent, no advertising, no property taxes, no markup, no profit. That money pays employees a living wage.

Nobody fled socialism. They fled authoritarianism.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This is what a New Era looks like.

Attacks continue in Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza as Israeli forces expand military action beyond 'yellow line'.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Mamdani won the vote of 30% of NYC Jewish voters because he didn't run on identity politics. He ran on affordability. Identity politics were intentionally smeared against him by Cuomo, but it didn't work, even with billionaire backing.

Oof. Massie went off. 👀

I thought they were all leaving. Lol.

Oops

I guess the rich aren't moving away after all.

Sliwa didn't spoil shit. Lol.

Brooklyn has the most outstanding votes to count. Mamdani wins with over 50%. That mandate will force Hockel to grant Mamdani his policy platform.

Polymarket says 74% chance of a 10%-20% margin of victory.

It's not if he will win, it's by how much.

Mamdani would actually make me consider moving to America.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

Funniest thing I've seen all year. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

ShOcKeR, tariffs cause inflation. 😒

A cousin in Utah said she wishes she could move to Canada. I said, "Do it! We have free healthcare, women's rights, 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, no guns, no school shootings, environmental protections, indigenous truth and reconciliation, renewable energy, paid parental leave, hate speech laws." She was sad.

The scientific method leans left because its sole purpose is the evolution of knowledge through discovery. This is fundamentally at odds with conservatism and the status quo it attempts to preserve.

The president's wealth is not a sign of competence. It takes no skill to scam. You just have to be liar with no morals.

Yes, we said Nazis.

Christians (religious followers) have a fundamental dilemma that makes them prone to being less kind than atheists. Atheists have nothing stopping them from being kind to anyone. Christians (religious followers) have to choose against kindness when it contradicts the Bible (holy text).

Another MAGA own by Grok on X. Lol.

They fight Mamdani, not because he can't deliver, but because he WILL deliver, and THAT is what they are scared of.

Knowledge and physical fitness tests. Lol.

It’s such a simple concept to have the government do repairs to buildings that landlords refuse to fix and then send them a bill. It prevents tenants from having to live in squalor while landlords play games with their housing.
