I think future historians are going to treat Biden the same way we talk about James Buchanan. Utterly unfit for the historical moment, placed in power by a party desperate to avoid confronting the looming crisis, and spending four years sleepwalking us into utter calamity

Comrade workers! May Day is coming, the day when the workers of all lands celebrate Their awakening to a class- conscious life, their solidarity in the struggle against all coercion and oppression of man by man, the struggle to free the toiling millions from hunger, poverty, and humiliation.

Thing is when you assume genocide is inevitably part of the choice you have to make, and then continue to participate in that system, you have already forfeited your soul

Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of centrist and liberal media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social. > www.plutobooks.com/product/how-... > a.co/d/00CQcElr

when people say "I'd crawl through broken glass to vote for" my first thought is "no you wouldn't" and my second thought is "who put the glass there" and my third thought is "wouldn't it be easier just to get a broom or put shoes on" and my fourth thought is interrupted because they're yelling at me

There are a lot of bad faith responses to this that amount to "is he saying we should run segregationists?!" If anything it indicates how badly Mamdani's opponents are flailing and unable to make anything stick

[Werner Herzog voice] And yet, does Luigi not persist in exploring the haunted mansion? Does he not confront this same fear of lingering death as he brings these haunted souls to rest with his vacuum cleaner?

Okay Sean Hannity declaring himself Antipope may be the funniest possible outcome of all this

At first I saw this without paying attention to who posted it and just assumed it was talking about Iran. This dude was a fucking prophet

French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre died on this day in 1980. He came to prominence as France was trying to cling onto its empire and used his platform as a public intellectual to speak out against colonialism. He's also responsible for one of the hardest selfies of all time.

More favorite comments "I started off confused, then became happy, and now I'm triangle." "Why this band is universal and unites us all: - language: none - skin color: polka dots - religion: triangulism" "Sure, I'll join this cult" "Music aside, this comments section makes me happy to be alive!"

Okay so the hoodie schtick was always tired, but it at least made some sense in the context of him pretending to be a vaguely leftish economic populist. Now that he's completely abandoned that and also become the Senate's biggest champion of genocide, what the fuck is he even trying to say with it?

What a fucking ghoulish thing to say

when the primary income stream of your organization is fundraising off people's fear of atrocities you have a vested fiduciary interest in maintaining the existence of said atrocities

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Why are we acting like this is the first time the US has deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure in war

Gotta be a tie between Las Vegas and Peoria IL

This edible ain't shit *takes another*

Shit like this is what I mean when I say that law school will literally give you brain damage

Liberals who talk about the Left in the US having an "obsession" with Israel remind me more and more of Whigs in the 1840s who didn't want to talk about slavery

Lmaooo too late loser

This week on Chapo, we talked to Natasha Lennard about the Prairieland 19 case and the horrific precedent it sets: www.patreon.com/posts/1020-p...

Holy cow this is such a historically illiterate take I don't even know where to start. I love Bluesky

Why is anyone even talking about this now? The earliest primary is 2 years away and not one person has announced. Are you so desperate for a cudgel against the Left that you're preemptively assuming the worst possible candidate will win just to have something to try to shame us with?

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Man screaming "They will kill me if you let this happen!"and now asking to see EMTs after they savagely dogpiled him and have been contorting his body in unnatural ways. They are hauling him into the back of a pickup as protestors shout "That's not an ambulance!"

The 1-2-3 of Station To Station-Low-"Heroes" is just incredible to me. The man put out one of the greatest albums of the 70s while on more cocaine than humanly possible, then moved to Berlin, got sober, and put out two more of the greatest albums of the decade in under two years

Moving on from that other thread. Just remember that when you criticize me this is who you're criticizing

Just great that there's a whole contingent of liberals on here whose position is basically that if you didn't vote for Harris, you deserve to be brutalized and possibly murdered by fascist thugs

asking why the police don't arrest ICE is like asking why the Gestapo didn't arrest the SS

Not shocked that the liberals who tut-tutted everyone demanding Biden stop arming a genocide are now doing the same to those demanding our electeds act to stop the fascist terror at our doorsteps

A lot of people applauding this are assuming he's mobilizing the guard to put a stop to ICE raids, and not to crush the inevitable wave of protests to come from this just like in 2020

If your position is that responsibility for the Current Moment is ultimately individual and not systemic -- that voters (and non-voters) are the most to blame for Trump's misdeeds -- congratulations! You're a conservative

Alright fuckers I'm checking out for the day to be with my mans

The Matt Christman 2017 tweet “This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history” is the undefeated summation of the 21st century.

Love how the genocide champions have discovered agency discourse

This is a wild thing for someone with an Israeli flag in their name to say

What compels people to talk this way on here? This feels like a very Bluesky-specific style of condescension

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or Alice in chains

Yeah, the discourse about how this place is so much better than the other place hits different when you’re Palestinian. My existence is a political act, it’s divisive, it’s upsetting. Something needs to be done about us. It’s not great.

She pledged that her admin would maintain Biden's genocidal policy toward Gaza. And regime change in Venezuela has been a bipartisan project for 25+ years, she probably would not have called for all-out war but would certainly have kept supporting ongoing coup attempts. I'll give you Greenland

99% of what gets labeled as contrarian or heterodox thinking is basically just "supply side neoliberalism and also I should get to say slurs"

As a rule of thumb, I think if you find yourself typing out the words "How's no compromise on genocide working out," you should probably log off and take a good long walk to think about what in your life brought you to that point

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

*Me after being hit in the head by a falling anvil causing me to forget every undeclared war the US has waged from Korea to Iraq*

Despite what you may have heard, colonial plunder didn’t give rise to capitalism. In an interview with Jacobin, Vivek Chibber discusses why the “colonialism-created-capitalism” argument fails, and why Marxism provides a better account of its emergence.

The obvious conclusion to draw from this is that Harris ran a uniquely poor campaign, no great mystery in that
