The hits just keep on coming. Jesus this could go so badly. So extremely badly. Why do we let psychopath Boomers like Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin, and maybe Keir Starmer do this to us? There are ways to end that, including the way we founded America in the first place.

So Israel has invaded, occupied, & bombed Iraq amidst it’s unnecessary & aggressive & everyone-sabotaging Iranian war of choice.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

I had a similar idea for SCOTUS: Set the size of the Supreme Court to 1 and specify that the most recently enthroned Justice gets to stay. Put the rest on senior status. Then like the *same day* they move out, change the Court back to nine pending approval of eight new Justices. They want games?

Credibility is so important because if you think the reporter is lying you won’t read what they wrote. Losing credibility means losing the entire point of writing a report at all. The reporters have to earn trust with the people. They used to do this as cub reporters, working their way up. Now?

Hey Dems in Congress! Stop being friends with the people across the aisle. They’re Nazis. Calling Nazis your friend says something about you that starts with a c and ends with ollaborator. Working with Nazis at all means you need to resign for your spectacularly poor judgment & lack of morality.

I mean is there a single actual leader in the Dem caucus? Zohran? Can’t run until we amend the Constitution. AOC? Ilhan? Who else knows their ass from a hole in the ground? The Dems have no bench at all. It means we’ll get one of those loser elected Dems. Maybe a Republican-loving centrist.

People still can’t see that Trump is destroying America systematically. It’s not on accident. That’s what he is trying to do. He is trying to destroy the United States. Why? Revenge. Trump’s boss, Putin, hates us for destroying his country during the Cold War. He wants the US ended.

Deliberate destruction of American power and prosperity by the Trump regime

I’m certain people who think they have “an idea of the scale and breadth of the means to bring about the kind of sweeping” are just trying to cool any revolutionary fervor by convincing you revolution can’t be done. That’s what they told the Founders. They were wrong.

Although he would be old and gamey, eat the rich.

when u tax the rich

We're uhh not hanging our hat on this assumption are we

Again, I am not sure America can replicate what Hungary has done.

unfortunately, kim il sung's clothes hang a lot better

Just. Have. Principles. And actually fight for them. Take a loss rather than a compromise. Don’t compromise. If we win, we get what we want. Thank you for attending my talk about how to be an effective leader in politics. BoomerDems: if you still hold a seat resign. What’s wrong with you?

If we're to have any shot of getting out of this, I really need my fellow white people to get past our apparently hardwired belief that something being illegal means it's impossible. Because I keep having the same conversation over and over again.

Abdul el-Sayed, if elected, would automatically be the best senator in the country foreign policy because he's on the record for cutting military assistance off to Israel, Egypt the UAE and India

People have got to wake up to how bad the situation in US science is right now

Oh hey an elected official who realizes the point isn’t getting elected and the people who think that way are mentally and emotionally small. But they are *many*.

AOC: “What’s funny is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that — my ambition is to change this country. Presidents come & go, elected officials come & go, single payer healthcare is forever” 🔥

He’s a conservative.

This is forty years ago, about. The thing about the last 40 years is that the Boomers wasted them. So did the Silent Generation. They didn’t try but fail to solve climate change. They simply didn’t try. All we can do is hope any Boomers who still arrogantly think they can lead us die off quick.

The thing about “golden calfs” If you have to tell people it’s not one… it’s definitely one

Just a reminder that no form of resistance to Nazism is too extreme

If you don’t write your drafts in beautiful longhand cursive it’s not a real book.

This is absolutely true. The U.S. is bizarrely the largest exporter of natural gas and other fossil fuels. I’m concerned that our unwillingness to leave our fossil fuels in the ground is going to make it very difficult to actually solve climate change under capitalism.

That would require the Dems probably eliminating tariffs on China and admitting the us capitalists have lost the position of economic hegemon. defeat of fossil fuels will signal the beginning of the end of the us empires previous level of power over others

“Hahahahaha oh man, I can’t stop watching and listening and laughing to castoff Republicans who made the most racist fucking ads imaginable and who pushed policy that killed god knows how many innocent people! I care so deeply about politics and their effects, don’t believe, check out my memes!”

You know, the tree of liberty needs a little watering. America 250: Start a Revolution!

Capitalism is cringe and has bad vibes and is chopped. Socialism has aura

These current elected and/or leading Democrats simply aren’t capable of doing this. They do not have what it takes. They lack skills. They can’t win the big game. They barely win *any* games.

I mean it’s like they haven’t read Genesis. Or, as I think, they’ve got a checklist of sins to commit and they’re going down them one by one. Sometimes in tens and twenties!

The bible… which I’m sure all American religious leaders have read

“We’re conservatives so we win.”

This is the specific kind of reason SFHs exist.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

Now they’re doing purges exactly like they did in the 1950s. When will folks realize they work so hard to defeat socialism because if we had socialism the Epstein Class would be less rich than they are. Even complaining about the mistreatment of citizens from a communist country gets you purged.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

Hungary has given me hope but we have absolutely no analogue to the party that defeated orban. the Dems are simply not very good at winning. Massive skill issues. And they have no principles. That’s bad.

It turns out a free and open internet is extremely easily manipulated. And yet the most basic of things was only shown briefly: the country where the poster’s IP address is located. That alone would solve most of this but the companies won’t do it.

democrats don't run to the center because they foolishly think it will magically win this time. they run to the center because losing is their job and running to the center has a proven track record

You know it used to be expected of a politician that they be able to convince people to follow them? To change the minds of their fellow citizens. To lead. To educate. To ennoble. The Democrats don’t do this. They are trying to grow their party by making it more appealing to racist white men. Why?

As primary season continues, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November. Hogwash. Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzG_TrhyrY

If Democrats listen to this batshit anti-science advice, the Party should just end. Seriously. It should end rather than do this. Focusing on climate *is* focusing on workers’ needs. Workers need to eat. Climate change is scary *because lack of food causes mass migrations and therefore war.* WTAF

These Republicans are one trick ponies, it’s just that their trick is called the Lost Cause and that ideology, as strong as any Marxists’ with their theory, infects literally everything they do. I’m defining that position as being characterized by the plantation owner mentality. What’s that?

The strangest thing about war is how normal everything is. Just up until it isn’t. If you’re expecting even a Civil War to not include everything you do in normal life, don’t. Look at the Ukrainians: they’re just microwaving their burritos too. It’s just that sometimes the building blows up.

Let’s play another round of: “Name the Democratic President.” Our choices: A. Barack Obama B. Bill Clinton C. Joe Biden D. Jimmy Carter Who let… 1. Bush get away with Iran-Contra? 2. Bush get away with torture and Iraq? 3. Trump get away with a coup? 4. Ford get away with pardoning Nixon?

Remember the story in The Wheel of Time where the Aes Sedai invents a collar to enslave other Aes Sedai and treat them as human pets?
