Saying it's not capitalism is basically just libertarian "no true capitalist country" territory. People with wealth leveraging opposition out of the market and entrenching their own positions using their head start irt value is absolutely capitalism lol.

currently re-reading the grapes of wrath 20 years after reading it for the 1st time and can confirm

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

"Pronouns are Him, He/Him"

It's The Sisko Day. Here is this scene on human existence in the Deep Space Nine pilot.

This week in South Carolina, state lawmakers are proceeding with the Great Erasure of African American voters without the legal hindrances of the Voting Rights Act, that now timeworn relic of the late Great Society. buff.ly/h6lq3Z8

idk why but this movie felt like the ben hur of the 21st century for me

primary every centrist democrat

what a job by o’neill and what an end to the season

incredible and shameful there isn’t international condemnation of the united states for collective punishment of 10 million people

Me at the reception following the caterer with the bacon wrapped scallops around:

i really don’t think we’re experiencing a lack of creativity

like a dog pissing on a fire hydrant

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

Happy May Day Everyone. May the future of all people around the world see the end of war, famine, prejudice and suffering for the sake of profit.

happy may day one and all

Really incredible call to action from a 'Caps fan on r/MLS. MLS fans everywhere should understand this isn't *just* about Vancouver! Read it. It's brilliant. www.reddit.com/r/MLS/commen...

Hasan was never about Hasan, and the most valid critiques of him were never going to be used. It’s just meant to silence anyone who agrees with Israel is the bad guy and no one should have billions of dollars

Dont give up

conservative justices and politicians are faustian contract devils that love manipulating language in service to their perverse beliefs

share one of your favorite movie posters! picked two because both showcase motion through text and image (bomb falling, shark breaching)

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.

we're not even pushing the downright punitive taxes yet and they're shitting their pants. these are modest revenue-raisers and they're losing their fucking minds! all the more reason to go whole hog and destroy these people who oppose even our most moderate plans

"The structure whose supports our elites are steadily kicking down is also the one that props up their own personal safety from disaster and political invulnerability to accountability. And all of this can go away." me in @bostonreview.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

absolutely not.

[Attenborough voice] yet in the end, only one ship will fertilize the egg that awaits them

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

founding fathers goin around saying

not surprising considering the tech bros eschew higher education because they know computer

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it. It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within. www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...

“If you were in charge of Star Trek what would you do?” a metagenic klingon version of The Americans

he’s gonna come out with a 50% tariff on denmark or hand over greenland unless lego sues iran lol

favorite scene comes from the beginning when spielberg mirrors the lincoln memorial with the posts as columns, and the crates and barrels as the chair

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

I think people should respond this way any time they are asked this question bsky.app/profile/dipl...

#OtD 8 Apr 2013 former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died. Street parties spontaneously broke out across the country. Pictured: Thatcher being welcomed to hell by one of her good friends and supporters, serial paedophile Jimmy Savile stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1076...

This is ethnic cleansing.

NEW: Members of Congress must 1) Remind military personnel of their duty to disobey orders to "end Iranian civilization," a war crime; 2) Promise to defend them from legal and political retaliation; 3) Promise to turn criminals over to the ICC. www.peoplesline.org/p/what-congr...

sorry if this seems harsh but I don't think the president should be allowed to post "a whole civilization will die tonight" and still be president

very anti-christ coded

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

A government agency shouldn't be talking about "our Savior," especially the one most likely to actually conduct the crucifixion today.

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available. We decided to illustrate it.
