Conservatism is basically the belief that humans ARE NOT created equal. This disgusting, rat-like behavior and belief explains why they adore in kings and “strongmen” and despise the vulnerable and unique in this world. ALL their politics stem from this.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Capitalism is unsustainable. A system organized around endless profit accumulation cannot coexist with a finite planet. Protecting the Earth in the long term requires abolishing profit as the guiding principle of production.

Once you decide there's nothing bad enough the president can do to warrant impeachment you're kind of done. You're relegated to holding a bunch of hearings which is a PR battle for the subsequent election, but in the meantime you're stuck with a criminal president

If liberals actually cared about innocents being murdered by the state, they wouldn't keep making dumb arguments about the USSR under Stalin and they'd be screaming about excess mortality under capitalism in the US. Hell, Trump and Biden killed 1.2M and counting with their COVID response alone.

Leqaa Kordia has been held in ICE detention for nearly ten months.

ICE meets snowflakes

"Affordability" is a neoliberal weasel word that maintains the centrality of capitalism, while absolving capitalists of responsibility for effectively pricing people out of existence. It appeals to the "invisible hand" of the market to remedy the situation and refuses to identify perpetrators.

People are not being paid enough. You can't maintain slave wages when prices are rising at this rate. The federal minimum wage is obscene. I hate that a DemSoc established the framing for this as "affordability" when the problem is that wages are stagnant and capitalists are hoarding all the wealth

Israel has spent the two months of the 'ceasefire' systematically demolishing Palestinian homes on an industrial scale. These two pictures, from Israeli paper Haaretz - are two months apart and show the eastern most suburb of Gaza city

"Abolish ICE? Oh, but who will do what they were created for instead?" Don't care even a little tbh. Not a real problem.

Check out this training series from Disability Voices United (DVU) about supported decision-making (SDM), which allows choice and control in the person with disabilities’ lives. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnCD...

It's been this way since Katrina. Storms, wildfires, blackouts, floods, train explosions, whatever happens there will be minimal help at best. And don't count on insurance since their AI claims adjuster agents are just gonna deny deny deny until you give up.

It kinda sucks to have been proven the most right I've ever been in my life on something that didn't help me at all.

Israel systematically targets families of Palestinian journalists: Report - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-systematically-targets-families-palestinian-journalists-report

It never ceases to amaze me how many people who (correctly) ardently support universal healthcare then turn around and oppose universal right to free counsel. IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

fun fact: ICE was created in 2002 with near unanimous support from congressional democrats!

Survivors are slamming the government’s recent document dump for failing to redact numerous victim identities.

also, this happened this year: Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrorism is far-right was disappeared. www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

“Despite 35 years of federal law requiring hotels to be made accessible for guests who use wheelchairs, those travelers tell NPR that hotels still fail to fully comply with basic and often easily achieved requirements for accessibility.” TY Joe Shapiro, excellent piece: www.npr.org/2025/12/24/n...

"Public education has always been a battleground over national memory." "[S]ystematic effort to erase histories that expose the foundations of capitalism, white supremacy, and empire." "[E]ducation has never been neutral — it either liberates or subjugates." #USA #Education #Censorship #Slavery

An Indigenous man, important detail. Canada is still doing this to Indigenous people, usually they are not so obvious about it though. Usually the police take an Indigenous person including teenagers and pregnant women several miles away from towns/cities.

The pipeline predates ICE itself. We’re talking late Cold War to post-9/11 continuity, not just in the 2020s. Arizona (UA, optics labs, test corridors, “desert as laboratory”) functions as a long-term testing ground, not a one-off collaborator.

A year on, Israel still holds Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safia without charge https://aje.io/wmyqzo

"Whats happening to Bari Weiss" is that she's a shit propagandist fueled by her zionist-infused fascism who got everything she ever wanted handed to her on a silver platter to discover people don't like being fed high-school newspaper level slop disguised as journalism.

Must-read Socialist theory to help Socialists and Communists sharpen and update their theory. Very important recommendations from Comrade Hakim.

I appreciated reading this. inthesetimes.com/article/figh...

The fascists aren't having fun. [yes I remind you of this weekly because it is true].

You don't need to take my word for it. You can simply ask yourself what you would expect to see from an opposition party that was serious about abolishing ICE right now. Are you seeing these things from the Democratic party or from its voters?

House Republicans are moving to expel Ilhan Omar from Congress. Trump was found liable for sexual assault. He’s a 34 time convicted felon. He’s all over the Epstein files. He gets to be President. But if you’re born in Somalia & critical of the regime? You’re targeted & threatened.

frankly a very weird situation because it is also bridging on near totalizing conspiracy peddling. these people think the NYT is being actively misleading in calling Jewish supremacism a subset of Zionism when they themselves admit that's what Ben Gvir et al believe.

A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism” They don’t want their atrocities documented. They don’t want a historical record. They don’t want the world to know. That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

Hence the widespread opposition to truthfully teaching Black history in schools. The majority knows damn well that their ancestors either didn't lift a finger to advance the Black freedom movement, or were actively working against it. White supremacy is one hell of a drug.

I’m very excited to read that one alongside this other new title press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

I see the Panthers are being invoked. I like to remind people about what the U.S. government and local police forces did to the BPP. This recent book is useful. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Capitalism, whether it's the one perpetrated by liberals (blue maga) or by conservatives (red maga) ARE BOTH RIGHTWING and will always end up in fascism (see genocides in Palestine, the Congo, etc). ALWAYS! Leftists (socialists and communists) have been warning everyone else about this for decades.

Tying mutual aid to the state and politicians is in fact how we got into this mess in the first place! The point of mutual aid is replacing the logics of state and market not just tying them back to the state!!! We cannot be doing this again!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

People aren't serious about their calls to "abolish ICE."

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

the obvious cure to nazis in positions of power and influence is against the TOS of this platform and various state and federal laws to express outright but we all know exactly what it is

Homelessness is caused by the real estate market.
