get their asses jake! they're never gonna recover from this. Tapper Demolishes Fascists, that'll be the headline. ohh boy i can't wait to see them in *shambles* jake.

Some things work, and some things don't. That's just facts. 😐

In case you're wondering, this is basically every election in the US. It's the illusion of choice. You get to pick between two candidates that are as similar as humanly possible. The entire system is designed that way. No matter what you choose, the status quo wins and the rich get what they want.

The one thing Trump hasn't tried is asking politely for them to open it for everyone.

May it please the court, I am the Lorax, Esq. and I speak for the trees.

Bahn mi more like bahn me sum diarrhea

My 401k is fully vested

Nationalism is a racist vehicle which ushers in other reactionary ideas. Nationalism is an anti-working class ideology. The reasons you give for your favorite nationalism(s) being an exception are just the same as those given by people supporting the nationalism(s) you oppose.

We all deserve more ease. That's really it.

Exactly one year ago today:

We should have never doubted this man

Michael Parenti explaining why the US’ elites feared the historical example set by the October Revolution, led by Vladimir Lenin:

1. people reflexively blame AI for problems because it's obviously harmful in many domains 2. Bluesky (now "entirely AI-coded" acc. to staff) keeps breaking 3. AI is blamed. Devs say no, it's web service issues, scold AI-blamers for their ignorance 4. devs admit it was actually AI code at fault lol

people genuinely convinced themselves that wealth disparities are immaterial as long as the floor rises without acknowledging that wealth accumulation is capital accumulation which is power accumulation, and that’s why we call it capitalism.

Kroger is trying to juice per-transaction sales by making soda 12-packs *buy 3, get 3 free* This still results in $0.50 a soda.

Y'all are acting as if these voting numbers are real, atomic, and unrelated as if they didn't collude as to who was going to vote for what in order to make sure this gets passed beforehand. It's bullshit! It's kayfabe!

The second dimension has claimed another

Last month in The Onion:

A visual gag straight out of an Iranian propaganda video

Being uniquely placed to speak on this particular indicator as someone who works at a food bank, the simple facts that we keep breaking records for most neighbors served in a week at our brick and mortar food pantry and every mobile food pantry is twenty to thirty families higher than usual

What's that quote about how you shouldn't trust the revolutionaries that are gleeful about the necessary killing?

Every new right-wing publication is named The Daily Constitution and pays a dozen writers mid-six-figure salaries thanks to backing by the CEO of fascism. Every new left-wing publication is named Lazer Sword & pays fifty contributors $300 a month, funded by laid-off journalists donated buyout pay.

"colonization does not cause growth in the imperial core" has to be one of the all time most bird brained takes I've seen on this site. Marx even talks about how mercantilism caused the build-up of money that was the *first* financial capital (i.e. reinvested in concentrated industry)!

I think the Irish, Native Americans, African Americans, and the billions of colonized people exploited by the West would have something to say about how capitalist development didn't require famine or mass death. Ffs the East India company *owned India* at one point! It was a big deal!

The honeysuckle are blooming while the blackberry flowers are out and I love it

They should make a country where things don't suck all the time

So of course you have a combustible situation: An AI industry promising to eliminate jobs (or worse), a generation with withering opportunities, and an attack by ascendent oligarchy on an already barely-functioning democracy. What do you think is going to happen?

rip to all the people excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

Wow fuuuuck target

I still find it weird people look for recession indicators when the 2008 housing crisis has never resolved, hence why you can find recession indicators everywhere

John Pilger: ‘Trump is a caricature of the US system…he strips away the mask from a rapacious, rogue state.’ What liberals of today hate most is that he's stripped away the illusion of freedom and democracy under the dictatorship of capital.

For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

Having driven uber / lyft for several years and being intimately familiar with the economics of these apps I can 100% promise you that this is complete bullshit. You couldn’t get $11,000 in tips if you sucked everyone’s dick at the end of the ride.

This is why I'm always going on about how liberals and centrists have accepted that some degree of suffering must be baked into society. 10-20% suffering... whatever it is. That's the table stakes. Refusing to allow themselves to even dream of a world where this is an obvious affront.

what if we put another ponzi inside our robo ponzi that will fix it

The index of consumer sentiment isn't broken; models that try to predict it just don't have the right input variables. I fix that and find that, yes, high nominal price levels explain why the vibes are so off. It's the prices, stupid www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-14...

checkmate, fellow terrorists

When I was reporting on Dan Schneider 8 or so years ago, I got to a point where I had to stop. Because I was being threatened w a lawsuit & despite having everything nailed down, I couldn't afford to go to court. When "Dark Side Of Kid TV" came out, Schneider sued the producers @moryan.bsky.social

Lmao, he really is the decrepitude of the American empire incarnate

holding a post-it that says "doordash grandma" over the "stages of capitalism" chart and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

It amazes me that some liberals seem to actually think Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris would have done a bunch of good things that they don't support and have literally never done ever, if only they had won this one election.

evangelicals eagerly, gleefully pretended not to see the myriad ways trump is the most heretical politician to hold american higher office in modern history so i don't think we should take their outrage as sincere now that they need a way out of his sinking coalition

CEOs are just the most highly paid foot soldiers of the capital class. They are executives who used to have a much smaller role in business, but as management has had to become more and more exploitative of their workers and the world, they've been paid more and more.
