We use the word “class” for a reason, essentially

Genuinely, I ask you, cis folks: how are we supposed to live in society under laws like this? Where are we supposed to work, how are we meant to get groceries? If we can be arrested at any time for simply setting foot in a restroom, how do we exist in society? What would you do?

The people demand more house fires!! #Abundance

We need to call this what it is: a crime against humanity

Lots of my fellow whites have erred in surmising *they* will be the ones that float to the top based on their "merit". Whiteness is all-consuming and the first thing to go is critical consciousness.

I don't know phi can support verification for such an obvious pi hater

Karl Marx died on this day in 1883. At his funeral, Marx's lifelong friend and comrade Friedrich Engels delivered a eulogy predicting Marx's work would endure through the ages. We reprint Engels's speech here in full.

Thank you to everyone who called or emailed. Even when you think it's only a drop in the bucket it matters. Sonny Burton has been granted clemency, he will not be gassed to death in Alabama today.

"error" lol. the credulousness that people have for a lawless administration is wild.

That view is 100% absolutely positively correct. The first best time to start a nuclear program in deterrence of US jingoism is 20 years ago, the second best is now.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

Dan Simmons is dead so it’s time to read ‘Hyperion’:

This is a publicly funded industry, proof that the U.S. can create jobs programs and design industrial policy when it wants to, but only substantially does so for the purpose of war and violence.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I’m a big time descriptivist but there’s something going on now where specialized and precise language unravels into slang and approximation of the original meaning within scant months and that makes it really hard to have conversations in which you know what both people mean

what website and/or journalists are best to follow to understand what’s going on rn?

The idea that the US is Israel's puppet state is really dumb antisemitism, like it's unironically the ZOG conspiracy theory It's the other way around. The US needs Israel as a strategically placed ally in the MENA region. It creates leverage that Israel uses to make demands, but the US is boss here

bluesky: the headline

THREAD. I want to describe a new propaganda trend. As I explained in Copaganda, we are starting to see a lot of Card Carrying Elites (economists, Atlantic writers, Harvard professors, philanthropists) feign intellectual edginess by claiming prisons are bad and even obsolete.

vindictive, vicious cruelty designed to humiliate and criminalize every trans person in kansas horrifying fascist shit reminiscent of the runup to the literal holocaust

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

The cops control municipal government and have essentially done so since the 70s. Once you understand this, everything else gets clearer.

NYPD officers getting hit with snowballs in Washington Square Park this afternoon

this is @ all the people that go “we will figure all that tactics and goals stuff out later right now we need to just hold hands”

A whole lot of journalists and Democratic politicians believed it was bad to object to sending people to CECOT, because that would strengthen Trump by reminding Americans how much they want an immigration crackdown, and they kept saying so even after the polls showed it was wrong. Why?

Yeah, so about your claim that The Argument wouldn't be running anti-trans pieces @jerusalem.bsky.social... I knew it.

From my latest: did you know that the so-called "Law of Supply and Demand" was formally disproven three quarters of a century ago? And not by a Marxist, but by a Nobel Prize winning liberal economist? You know who *don't* know this? Most capitalist pundits. www.peoplesline.org/p/richard-ha...

Or... Make a public mockery of that quizling's entire being. Not appearing spineless in a 'debate' and setting the framing is far more important for winning the peanut gallery to your side than being polite. Fascists fucking LOVE when you debate them respectfully.

What does this mean we should do? Everything. We just have to do everything we can to protect people, pressure the other 2 branches of govt, and build society and community differently - and not rely on santa court daddy to sort everything out for us. It hasn't so far and it will continue not to.

If there's one thread you read today make it this:

The people are not yearning for any specific economic policy.They're yearning for anything to assuage the painful feelings of insecurity that stem from an ongoing marginalization process by the rich. The right shaped those feelings into a death cult while the 'center' punched left.

Confusion and tedium have beset liberal society, which is listlessly making appeals for reforms while admitting the impracticability of anything even approximating reform.

"we need a woke WTO and even more woke IMF and some kind of system of blockades and sanctions and limited air strikes that only starves, cripples and kills the ugliest irredeemable children"

"AI is built on the collective knowledge of humankind." No. Nononononono. It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_. And not everyone's experiences are available as data, many communities are excluded.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Look, all I'm saying is that if you just spent the last six years being frustrated with Durbin and you think there's a chance he's about to be replaced with a guy who thanks ICE for their service and takes AIPAC and crypto money, you should treat it like a very serious emergency

I’ve been following Greg Bovino and Border Patrol around for months. Here’s some of my footage (and thoughts).

How it feels to chew 5 Gum

I KNOW he didn't just say this dumbass shit to me during Black history month

Today, as Gaza continues to be stuck in a bloody limbo, we are turning our website over to Gaza and its people in an initiative we are calling “A Day for Gaza.” There will be no pieces published on our website today that do not come directly from Gaza.

If you want to attract working class voters, deliver for them.

There is a collective version of "made up a guy to be mad at." Someone makes up a guy to be mad at. Someone else reads it and thinks the person exists, so they also post about it. Suddenly everyone is arguing with no one, but they are all convinced he exists because everyone is arguing with him.

🇵🇸 UN Update Gaza | Jan 26, 2026 Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza are still living in dangerous makeshift shelters or damaged buildings, exposed to harsh weather, environmental hazards, & unexploded ordnance. OCHA says some families are sheltering along unstable coastal...

The other 23% are in congress.

If you are a faith leader, we need you to come to Minneapolis! Amazing people are organizing this opportunity. You can find out more at MarchMinnesota.org

For lawyers in Minnesota who want to resist the ICE occupation: forms.gle/YK9mVYTft1Lt... So many folks in our legal community are ready and eager to get involved. But right now, a lot of work is being done in a decentralized way, by groups without bandwidth to organize. Let's coordinate efforts.

Knew this was coming. Something I've been noticing happening slowly for a while now. It's also happening in conjunction with the aging up of YA and the influx of romantasies that tend to feature cisallohet relationships and dabble in fascism-adjacent storytelling themes.

Which party won the presidency again the year a bunch of us were saying defund the police and abolish ice?

It is interesting to me how much billionaires have started talking like they are a satire of capitalism created by a college Marxist. Like openly and publicly proclaiming their control and power
