I'm not a liberal. I'm definitely not a neo-liberal, or a conservative, or a neo-con. I'm not an anarchist, a capitalist, or even a socialist, though I have come closer to that definition a few times. I guess I'm an idealist, because my opinion on most issues is determined by my core beliefs.

"Why" is a powerful tool in fighting creeping fascism among your friends and family. When someone parrots a right wing talking point, ask.tj.why they think it's a good idea, and don't let them idk the answer. Push them to think it through.

MAKE THIS HURT for these dems who voted to effectively take away millions of American’s ability to vote! Call & blast them:”How dare you vote to make it impossible for millions of women & others to vote!” Golden(ME) 202-225-6306 Perez(WA) 202 225-3536 Cuellar(TX) 202 225-1640 Case(HI) 202-225-2726

Kindness should be people’s default ❗️

Seriously, this is one of the biggest highlights of my time in politics. @aoc.bsky.social has such an incredible future, and I'm here for it. Look at this excitement in Utah. More Democrats need to take notes.

Loving this!

Abso-fuckin-lootly!!!!

On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter, launching the four-year Civil War—a national conflict that would ultimately force the abolition of slavery in the United States. 130 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has “100% hatred” toward Russian leader Vladimir Putin. “How else can you see a person who came here and murdered our people, murdered children?” says Zelenskyy. https://cbsn.ws/3YyaIlp

I feel like Shakespeare’s Ophelia sometimes, yelling into the void about TESCREAL, Dark Enlightenment, network cities, etc. No-one is paying enough serious attention to this nihilistic philosophy that drives many of the “broligarchs.” And it all smacks of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories.

@aoc.bsky.social: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Great job this administration is doing. Running the debt up and the economy down. Believe this: every penny somebody loses gets found by somebody else... Usually somebody much, much richer...

Bernie spitting truth... Stop telling us how great the economy is on Wall Street while we can't pay rent and buy groceries out of the same paycheck.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

A reasonable concern.

My favorite sign so far.

This is what happens when everyone knows gramps shouldn't be driving but no one wants to take away his keys.

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Every. Time.

Funny

Quite literally whitewashing the purpose of the Underground Railroad www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

This might seem hyperbolic, but the business correspondent for the usually extremely sober The Economist described it in more or less the same terms on their morning news podcast.

The Nuremberg Defense of the Republican Party once Trump is dead and gone will be swift because it has already been written.

@intj-gurl.bsky.social you might appreciate this meme I made :)

Just because he sucked at buying votes doesn’t mean he shouldn’t still be arrested for it

This guy puts the "crook" in "crooked".

Why Tariffs Are Stupid And Hurt You: an Opinion From Someone In Manufacturing A lot of people don't think exactly why tariffs, especially suddenly placed tariffs, wind up hurting everyone in the country that puts them in place. I've worked in design and manufacturing for about 15 years...
