Gee, what's driving down consumer sentiment?

Thank you, Republicans. Thank you Capitalism.

It's really not fair that Christians rule the world very publicly, very openly, very explicitly, and for a thousand years and yet every single woman I date tells me that they heard that we secretly rule the world, and they are not sure what to believe.

Silicon Valley is a company town full of scabs.

You didn't read Paulo Freire

com alt: "Ensinar o povo ver criticamente o mundo é sempre uma prática incômoda para os que fundam os seus poderes sobre a inocência dos explorados." (Paulo Freire)

So America does chattel slavery and genocide, then imports 400,000 sycophantic racists annually to earn 5x the wages of the survivors?

> there’s an effort underway to paint me as someone who is doing the things that I’ve researched.

> The mission of Equator is to hold up a mirror to a global audience of readers and writers who don’t yet recognise themselves as belonging together. Hell yeah. Paulo Freire would be proud.

This is it. This is the sign you've been waiting for. ============== || || || DUMP HIM!! || || || ============== || || ||

I live in Memphis, one of the cities where the National Guard’s been deployed. The ground troops aren’t here yet, but Blackhawks have been flying over for days. I’m from a military family — I know that deeper, heavier sound. It’s not like a LifeFlight helo.

OMFG there's "discourse" on the TL.

Autism is not new and it's not more prevalent.

Your vocation is the principal expression of your political ideology.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

We live lives of relative luxury, supported by a global caste system. The least we can do is be gracious about it, but the reactionary right can't even.

@karenattiah.bsky.social Loved you on "On the Nose".

"You don't look like a software engineer."

Fascism =/= Totalitarianism

💯💯💯💯💯

Bro advises antifa to silence ourselves.

Attorneys are your Right Libertarian ally against Right Authoritarianism.

Don't forget! China is a dystopian post-industrial hellscape.

Well duh. Welcome to Policing 101.

OK, but in their defense, without education the "false consciousness" of fascism would be a lot more appealing to us under these circumstances.

Can we save the environment without Jane Goodall?

This is literally just selective enforcement.

My biggest gripe with One Battle After Another is it didn't open with the forced hysterectomies.

Going on strike is saying "this issue is more important than these wages." It's also saying "if you DON'T strike, you're stepping on my neck."

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting its shoes on. This is the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle: it takes orders of magnitude more time and energy to refute bullshit than it does to produce bullshit.

Did Mordechai pray for the death of Haman? Did he dance at Haman's funeral?

Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez was husband, a father, and not a citizen, but still native to this land. He was pulled, by ICE, into a war he didn't start or fight in, where he was killed. Miguel's blood is on ICE's hands. It's on Trump's, and it's on Kirk's.

Not to reveal myself as "basic", or whatever, but @naomiaklein.bsky.social remains prescient (well, seeing the present appears prescient when no intervention is taken) and trustworthy.

My general resting posture.

I'm a Conservative. I prefer the old ways, before the radicals introduced lawns.

It's so crazy to me that anyone can justify calling ICE on Latinos—the ethnic group that have been here for 20,000 years??

I'm a Conservative; I am trying to defend and maintain pre-Columbian and pre-Christian values and institutions.

Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana should be skinned alive, and his pelt made into a rug.

A powerful enough proletariat need not commit violence—need not even THREATEN violence—but can get its way simply by putting its time, attention, and labor into that which it loves. We ARE that powerful, but we don't act in concert.

We've known about Elon for well over a decade, it would be silly to think he's the lone billionaire that was snubbed by Epstein and Maxwell. This shouldn't be surprising that this known pervert with a history of sexual harassment also diddled kids.

> His name appears on what appears to be Epstein's daily schedule, with the entry reading: "Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec.6 (is this still happening?)" Hey! Maybe it didn't happen!

If I don't end up in an ICE Gulag, I'm a coward.

ICE is the well-funded, unaccountable, state-run secret police of everyone's fascist nightmare. They have massive power; they ignore the law, kidnap people, send them to concentration camps, and kill them. Not one major candidate has said they want to get rid of them as a matter of policy

Unlike normal speech, money *self-accumulates*, concentrating power in a few hands. This turns us all, gradually, into slaves.

The internet is great. The problem is we invented it after a century of declining social fabric and hyperatomisation. Alienation is the problem.

Gotta be the ~40,000 annual car deaths, and the ~20,000 annual emissions deaths. 🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗 🪦💀🪦💀🪦💀🪦💀🪦

Your manager is a snitch; end of story. He's not the owner—not of anything significant—and he's not resolving ambiguity: that's YOUR job. He's not the driver of anything. He's just the foot on the gas.

It's crazy that Disney+ has leverage over Kimmel.
