It's time. GENERAL STRIKE. generalstrikeus.com

I'll be contrarian, to a point. Since roughly 100% of Americans, w/an IQ over 60 points, knows what "anti-fascism" means, & have since WWII, progressive sorts would be smarter to use that term. "Antifa," to many, sounds foreign & scary, like "Intifada," which is why right-wingers use it exclusively.

Drop an old person you are going to turn into the future.

My dentist marched in No Kings last weekend. He is obviously anteetha

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

I will happily vote for any Democrat who promises to undo all his damage to the White House.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Gooooooooooooood morning and welcome to Monday, hope you enjoy your stay

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

Season 51 of SNL is not going well.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Trump and the Republicans are denying you healthcare while they supply Kristi Noem with two luxury Gulfstream private jets for $172,000,000. Facts.

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

not much to argue about on this one, I guess

Look around. Every corner of this country is awake. People flooding the streets not out of hate, but out of love—for each other, for freedom, for the idea that we still matter. They want us to be afraid. To stay home. To be quiet. We refuse. This is what democracy looks like.

If JD Vance fucks a sectional, does that means he's into BBWs, or polyamory?

These guys destroyed USAID (budget $28bn) causing a potential 14m preventable deaths by 2030 because the deficit but can find $40bn to bail out their buddies who stand to lose money in an Argentinian crash.

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2018...

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Stephen Miller is only 40 years old. He's got a whole lot of years ahead to spend in prison.

After however many years, I've finally started reading American Splendor. Incredible stuff. Harvey Pekar was an absolute genius.

There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Libertarians are like snotty teenagers, coming up with ever more erudite and convoluted justifications for not taking out the trash.

Attention @microsoft.com: I removed Copilot from my machine awhile ago, and there is NO EFFIN WAY I'm going to use this. If you insist on pushing it, I'm gonna have to switch to Linux. When are you going to figure out that nobody wants this shit?

Republicans complain about immigrants changing the character of America, but they’ve welcomed the most dangerous foreign influence: former South Africans such as Musk and Thiel bringing an apartheid mentality to America.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "The Republicans attacks on the No Kings protests are sickening. To them, only pro-Trump speech is protected. If you oppose Trump - you 'hate America' or you're a 'terrorist'. What they're trying to do is simple: suppress turnout this weekend. Don't let them win."
