I don’t think people need to be “crucified” for thinking Platner changed or whatever but I do think they should engage in serious self-reflection and humility, such as not referring to themselves as being “crucified”

Because THIS shit? THIS shit has the potential to create a small army of red-browns. The tattoo should have been the line, and leftists who welcome "former" Nazis without even fucking doing the work to confirm they're actually "former" are a danger to everyone around them.

Personally, I hope I’m able to be this graceful and direct in my life when I fuck up (often). Naomi Klein remains amazing.

I don’t want to be “that person,” but this attitude about SA (making it about you, making a dismissive joke, etc) does not speak well to how you feel about the women in your life. Nothing about this situation is funny. Everyone loses. It’s really gross and sad.

Heartbreaking hearing that the woman who Platner raped was hesitant to come forward because she agreed with his politics and didn’t want to damage the movement. If you didn’t already realize, this sort of thing happens a lot you just don’t usually hear about it

This is like reading an obituary headline

"there's an iceberg ahead" "lol no there isn't" "but it's right there!" "oh lol, it's ok, we'll just steer away" "it's too late to avoid it. we need to hit it head on for any chance of survival" "no, watch this sweet move right here" titanic sinking, everyone dying: "so happy you got one right 🙄"

It’s a fun new game now to see a circuit court make a pretty obvious ruling and you get to wrestle with a little feeling of dread knowing it’ll end up at SCOTUS.

Excited for the FIFA announcement that the US team will have its loss suspended until after the finals

I think that if you want a working person or a person who has had a blue collar job to run as a socialist you should pick people who have had real jobs and weren’t mercenaries or Harvard grads

"Hey Grok, my patient's left arm hurts and they feel like there is an elephant on their chest. What's wrong with them?"

That the U.S. appears to have completely visibly given up after a catastrophic own goal fuck up is a little on the nose.

I love how [the guy with the Nazi tattoo and all the interviews and the history of saying women should take responsibility for their own SA] is clean and pure but the woman he allegedly assaulted "might have ties to right wing organizations."

Antifascists are an even narrower group than "The Left" and they're explicitly the people who HUNT DOWN men with nazi tattoos to DESTROY THEIR LIVES Antifascists aren't fucking voting for the oyster nazi - they want to drive him so far underground so he's afraid to show his face in public

She is rightfully pointing out that there were plenty of indicators of who he was. She is saying that she thinks “this was not the first time.” “There are a lot of men relying on the silence of women” to get to where they want to go. WHEW.

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

Asking your doctor about HRT in America in 2026 feels a bit like "suicide by cop, but with extra steps"

Clearly this guy has never heard about Patriots fans

I hate that it feels like we're fucked, but people don't understand how important "the ocean" is. It's not as resilient as people think and there are so many delicate micro-biomes that are dependent on each other. Warming waters is going to lead to things we all need being choked out.

Doesn't like Trump, but wants him to "come for" Sheinbaum like he did Maduro. I'm sure this course of action would solve Mexico's problems! The US doesn't have a history of destroying its southern neighbors' economies at all!

The FIFA thing really encapsulates the use of a two-tier justice system. Put rules on the books that can be enforced at discretion depending on the client, then have a bunch of people “well technically…” themselves into defending obvious corruption. Rules and laws generally protect power, not YOU.

The American people yearn for Chinese EVs. youtu.be/jc2-5Wk2Oq4?...

lol this is exactly why all of the arguments against taxation and for philanthropy are nonsense. Philanthropy is just a way to whitewash reputations, not create meaningful social change.

The part they left out is how the companion AI surveillance network would have flagged the revolutionaries before they could set about starting the American Revolution.

I can’t even express how deeply embarrassing this is, as a country. Visitors from around the world, & they see this:

“the reforms are aimed at reviving the country’s economy and tempting voters away from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)” Yes, I’m sure the center-right making workers’ lives more miserable will drive those folks away from the reactionary right. novaramedia.com/2026/07/02/g...

in this they are like every murderous ideology, as no bigot’s self-narrative permits granting victims status or basic humanity to the targets of their bloodlust. it’s why arguing with nazis fails

I just feel bad for all of the confused Celtics fans

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

Organize for and a demand a socialist future now! Our lives depend on it

I guess I’ll be lucky if I’m around for the discourse in 30 years when we have choruses of “never again” and “how could people have been so cruel in the past??” as the state ramps up its next genocide machine to protect capital from marginal taxation that would improve people’s lives.

The State and Revolution is a real fucking bummer. Watching all of this shit just happen over and over like a matryoshka doll is too much.

We have 100% lost the plot as a nation. This is the most chilling free speech case I’ve ever seen and the idea that this version of SCOTUS will be the ones to review it ultimately is horrifying. Everyone should be outraged.

this AM the last Prairieland 9 defendant Ines Soto was sentenced to 50 years — so he and his partner, Liz Soto, got effectively life sentences. they have 3 kids. those who took non-cooperating plea deals, Rowan Gibson and Rebecca Morgan, got 15 each. total time sentenced in this case: 530 years

to be clear i meant this as a good thing -- every governor could pardon a raft of people right now to show how they oppose the violence of the carceral state. they could use it to protect people from deportation.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Americans: They're putting us in prison for 30 years for making a zine The Democratic Party: Restricted. Internet. 😎

Pride month deserved to end on a better note. Trans people deserve so much better. Pack tf out of SCOTUS.

That's right! 😀 💥 A Democratic Socialist unseats a 15-term congresswoman in Colorado www.yahoo.com/news/politic... #Socialism #DSA

Matt Walsh is having a fucking legendary crashout over the birthright citizenship decision, and I am loving it so much. Yummy in my tummy.

"If we do unambiguously good, necessary things that could inspire resentment in assholes" sounds to me like a bonus, not a reason against doing it

Jackson.

This invites further challenges from an emboldened reactionary movement that aims to end any vestige of legal protection for communities of color. The U.S. Supreme Court is an enemy of human rights and the system that created it needs to be dismantled root to branch.

Running for president, or really any federal office, without a plan to deal with this out of control institution is pointless. You might as well play pretend

The Democrats entire governing principle is, "What if we just do what the Republicans do? I mean, they always seem to win 🤷‍♀️"

it's just soo insidious how liberals use this veneer of generosity and charity to finger wag minorities into not discussing harm like. you guys know that's what you're doing right. you know that's why the harm keeps happening right.
