For what it's worth, if you are a socialist or interested in socialism, it is *my job* to educate you, so ask away.

Not even small children find going to the bathroom as emotionally and aesthetically interesting as those fucking cartoon bears do. A culture that wishes us to feel that fulfilled by *waste elimination* is a culture that is trying to make us something other than and less than human

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

On November 11, 1887, four anarchists were hanged, after being found guilty of murder of a cop in Chicago's Haymarket Square, though the prosecutor admitted that they were actually tried for being anarchists.

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

Let me run the Bond franchise and I’ll blow him up at the end of every movie. Maybe several times within each movie if it feels right. He’ll be back the next movie (or scene) and nobody will talk about it, but man are we gonna explode that guy a LOT.

The definition of "race ideology," which will likely be banned at Texas A&M, includes "accus[ing a race or ethnicity] of being oppressors in a racial hierarchy or conspiracy." That's functionally a ban on teaching vital swaths of American history.

The problem from their point of view is that rapid decarbonization requires public, collective decisions about the organization of production, in a way that threaten capital-owners' authority over both the production process and the political system.

What if I told you that the University of Michigan was one of the most infamous offenders of faculty and student rights during McCarthyism? It feels like their current moves targeting student protestors are in alignment with this dubious honor.
