The President calls every black person he doesn’t like “low IQ” and the media believes it absolutely critical we draw no conclusions from that

Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of centrist and liberal media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social. > www.plutobooks.com/product/how-... > a.co/d/00CQcElr

Mass hungerstrike in PA ICE detention center "What started with 70 people participating in the strike on Thursday morning, escalated to roughly 100 people by Friday morning on Unit Four of the facility, the man said." www.pennlive.com/news/2026/04...

There aren't a lot of things I agree with Mark Carney about, but there's one area where he and I are in *total* accord: the old, US-dominated, "rules-based international order" was total bullshit: www.weforum.org/stories/2026... 1/

“Everybody’s using AI for everything nowadays, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square, and then resurrected virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

"At some point if the ship doesn’t turn around, maybe it will start taking on water or listing badly or hit an iceberg, or perhaps the iceberg has been there all along and is named Donald Trump."

Tim Cook is a piece of shit

It's official: Unions of Our Own will launch into the world from New York City, in the world's borough, at CUNY Law School, 6pm on 4/28 I'll be in conversation with one of the great journalists of the rank & file, Michelle Chen of @thenation.com @dissentmag.bsky.social, etc. + ample Q&A time

I want Democrats out there scaring the shit out of Americans about how insane and dangerous Trump is. I want them to say nonstop that they need to remove him from office and challenge Republicans to join them unless they don't love their country. Make it patriotic to want to get rid of Trump.

we should have a third industry besides AI and gambling

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Wrote about the Iran war, which has been a fucking embarrassment on every conceivable level www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Trump is fucking insane. The Iranian leadership is fucking insane. Netanyahu is fucking insane. It's a pipe dream that these madmen are going to hold it together to have an actual two-week ceasefire. And drawing conclusions about who got what at this point is like trying to catch a greased eel.

So to recap, Trump: - Started a war for no reason on the belief that Iran would surrender immediately - Killed thousands including over 100 elementary schoolgirls - Threatened genocide up to and including nuclear war - Then backed down in exchange for a worse position than the US had before ?

stupid easily manipulated people were told immigrants were eating pets and trans people were cutting off your sons genitals and they were goaded on by a broken media chasing clicks above all else

From now on, before anyone in the U.S. says anything, other countries should ask: "Do you condemn your fascist regime?" So many people here expect everyone to first condemn X regime to speak about any injustice. Let's see how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot.

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

You don't actually have to let a madman do whatever he wants. You don't have to do that! The Founders put impeachment in the Constitution for a reason. You can use it!

What if the United States had a Congress?

“Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Saturday that Jews are committing killings, ‘ethnic cleansing,’ and ‘crimes against humanity’ in the West Bank.”

Are you absolutely kidding me? Pocket squares and pins? Read. The. Damn. Room.

It Should Be a Bigger Story That the President of the United States Is Fucking Insane rudepundit.blogspot.com/2026/04/it-s...

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

People don’t wanna put two and two together with what he did to usaid and him putting up those maps of global birthrates and saying white people are being replaced

Super Mario Galaxy Movie's Charlie Day says alleged UnitedHealth CEO Killer Luigi Mangione is his 2nd favorite Luigi

a good rule of thumb for moving through the world is if anyone calls themselves an "influencer" or "creator" they are about to tell you something insanely fucking stupid

Inshallah

MADRID (AP) - Spain says it has closed its airspace to US planes involved in the Iran war. @apnews.com

In a healthy democracy the government would have collapsed by now and instead we've got at best just over 7 months to know if there will be electoral consequences and until january for them to start to take effect

Yall know despite all of this they would still vote for Trump for another term if the price of gas were to go down, right?

But Americans are authoritarian and they refuse to believe that rich people kill you for money, and there is no such thing as “our“ rich people. You don’t get a dictatorship unless the opposition refuses to oppose. Rich people are NEVER our friends. There is the rich, and there is us. We are at war.

WW3 is gonna be the stupidest war ever.

The 2028 primary is going to be so stupid

Malcolm Kenyatta, who was one of Fetterman’s opponents in the primary, pulling no punches: “John promised that he was going to go to D.C. and be Democrats’ 51st vote. And instead he’s gone to D.C. and is behaving like Donald Trump’s fucking intern.” Gift link www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...

Fact that he pays no social penalty for being a racist directly contributes to him hoovering up public money to stunt public transit.

It was the one big decision that doomed the country and we wouldn't have Jan 6th if not for Brooks Brothers

hamas..er.. hezbollah... headquarters under every building. I am wise enough not to expect any contrition from anyone about anything but "gaza was an understandable response to 10/7 but this lebanon thing goes too far..." is an easy apple to grab and yet... anyway, i hate almost everybody

This is why the "maybe ICE won't be so bad" takes are infuriating. You can't possibly be that stupid. I mean maybe you can be that stupid. Let's make it easy: They are sending ICE not because they have to, but because they want to. They could easily send the right people for the job.

This is the logical extension of "I'm going to do my own research" culture. And I'm sorry to say that expertise actually matters. And some people have been bamboozled into believing that saying this makes you an "elitist" which once again shows that people don't know what words actually mean.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Make the WPA great again!

if there's one conclusion that the study of both labor history and imperialism converge on, it is that the richest people in the world are happy to burn money on control, power, impunity. and the "everything is about profit" version of anti-capitalism does not survive serious contact with either

The goal now is just to discipline labor and crush any popular anticapitalist movement. They’ve achieved a level of wealth that makes profit and loss pure abstraction, now they’re just focused on social control. Fighting taxes isn’t about wealth, it’s about starving the state of resources

Fetterman has failed America with this vote www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Chuck Ragan covering Bouncing Souls' "True Believer" in Millersville PA. Amazing show and incredible to see this.

I don't believe any of these fuckers are actually anti-war I think they're preemptively and opportunistically positioning themselves as the next, younger, and equally hollow incarnation of populist authoritarianism

Dems must, when in power, use hearings to generate endless content of the following:

When you convince people to vote for Fetterman to stop Trump but he keeps voting to advance Trump’s agenda and you won’t do anything about it
