BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS WANT WAR WITH IRAN THE DEMOCRATS WANT WAR WITH IRAN THE DEMOCRATS WANT WAR WITH IRAN THE DEMOCRATS WANT WAR WITH IRAN THE DEMOCRATS WANT WAR WITH IRAN THE DEMOCRATS WANT WAR WITH IRAN

it's genuinely insulting how stupid they think we all are. it just happens that there's some kind of international incident with perfectly innocent floridians in Cuban waters just as the US is manufacturing consent for war? fuck off, you fucking morons

You can tell from only 1 of 6 headlines in this photo that the confrontation started with the Florida speedboat firing on the Cuban Border Guard, prompting retaliatory fire. Manufacturing Consent 101—extra dangerous in the age of attention spans attuned to reading headlines only.

Come on

Begging everyone to listen to and share this @citationspod.bsky.social episode before we all start watching JibJabs with a side of freedom fries again. citationsneeded.libsyn.com/ep-232-us-me...

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

Cuba is an "unusual and extraordinary threat" because the Cuban people dare give the world a mere glimpse at what humans can—and will—achieve when they send imperialism to the scrapheap.

"without" "citizens" "warrantless" Elizabeth "Capitalist in My Bones" Warren dreams for a return to the old days when ICE simply terrorized immigrants at a smaller scale. The demand is ABOLISH. She is complicit.

Just when you thought pedophiles were the lowest lifeform on Earth, here we have someone begging to be accepted by the pedophiles and pleading to become one of them ...... 3 years in a row.

Strictly an issue of capitalism—e.g., privatized utilities and bourgeois-run state apparatuses.

Twice this week I’ve explained that UVA Health employees don’t have things like winter storm hazard pay because in reaction to Black UVA Health employees organizing for better working conditions, in 1947 the General Assembly made collective bargaining illegal for public sector employees in Virginia.

You don’t say

Round three of make-up shoveling at home complete. Immabout to drink Bailey’s from a gd SHOE.

The Thatcher section is insane. What Ilhan is saying is essentially that becoming attaining the highest position of a top imperialist power is the peak of Mt. Olympus for self-starting women regardless of how they choose to wield that power. Enemy feminism at its finest!

The fuck did I just come home to

“...fascism is nothing more than a final solution to the class struggle, the totalistic submergence and exploitation of democratic forces for the benefit and profit of higher financial circles. Fascism is a false revolution. It propagates a 'new order' while saving the same old moneyed interests.”

With uncertain road conditions we want our broadcast hosts to stay safe so there will be remote hosts filling in for programs, Mon, Jan 26.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Also, you don’t need to share gore! You don’t need to watch gore! Bearing witness means bearing witness to INFORMATION not trauma porn! You do not need to traumatize yourself and send yourself into a panic spiral! You need to get organized and focused!

Be extremely cautious about additional footage circulating after news has already broken. Verify, verify, verify. Do not share AI.

"Other donors in the $100,000 category for the Spanberger inaugural committee included big players such as Amazon, Capitol One, CoStar Group, the Sports Betting Alliance and the Virginia Auto Dealers Association."

New blog post. My disappointment in the Cville mayoral election vote and results inspired some wider reflection.

"The former CIA officer asserting her control" You can celebrate this without saying something deranged

Trump's authoritarian violence starts with and is reinforced by liberals. It wasn't just ICE shooting protesters in June. It was LAPD LA City Council had a chance to put an end to it and refused to do so. Democrats and republicans work together to produce fascism. lataco.com/city-council...

Every accusation is a confession: it is the US government that steals food out of the mouths of Cubans with the cruel blockade. It is the US government that prevents the import of building supplies. It is the US GOVERNMENT that steals from citizens and leaves hurricane victims to fend for themselves

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Back in the USA, immediately struck (as I always am) by how dystopian this society seems based on the ads: - addictive gambling app - fighting sport sponsored mostly by gambling sites - drugs to sleep - drugs to feel comfortable in public

this is why it’s so important to listen to locals when someone’s mayor goes viral for saying one correct thing that they will immediately contradict with their subsequent actions

What is he trying to tell us??

🔥New Episode🔥 THE KIDNAPPING OF MADURO WITH SPECIAL GUEST José Luis Granados Ceja open.spotify.com/show/2zwjDmr...

Take note that this is the national news story they chose to run this morning

They will keep doing it until somebody stops them. The entire MAGA view is that you can do whatever you want as long as nobody actually prevents you from doing it. If ICE can kill people with impunity, they will. If Trump can take countries' oil, he will. They have no morality.
