Fascists build power, in liberal democracies like the US, by pointing to the very real failures of capitalism, and blaming them on the least powerful people in society, to redirect attention away from the Henry Fords and Elon Musks who are actually causing the problems. This is not a new pattern 1/

The destruction of the academic research library is one of the great underappreciated crimes against higher ed and scholarship of the 21st century.

'No library should, in her professional opinion, feel obliged to retain "low-use items."' WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THE POINT OF A RESEARCH LIBRARY IS

We all know where "taking no action" against fascists leads. Attacks against innocents, violence, death and destruction. But the Scottish police are "just following orders" I guess. Like our Gardaí's "softly softly approach" 🤷‍♀️ ACAB always and forever! www.thenational.scot/news/2667198...

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Donald Trump is a rapist pedophile

How dare those idiots care about other people and the future of the largest rainforest on the planet, I am very smart and enlightened 🤣🤣

How is People’s magazine doing better coverage than most legacy media? people.com/former-miss-...

People said he wouldn’t give up and he’d do successful version of Jan 6. Please remember that when folks say Tr*mp and the GOP are “going to do” XYZ. None of us has a crystal ball. Why pretend you can forecast a future where the bad guy wins? Who benefits from that?

"trump raped more people than expected" lacks the eye-grabby novelty and sociological depth of "in red state diner trump supporter supports trump" or "president's behavior presidential"

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail. THE USA NEEDS TO DO THIS TO TRUMP

may Lula make Zuck face the consequences

Some people fret that if we raise the minimum wage the jobs numbers will go down. Yes. Of course they will. People with more than one job will be able to quit the others. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.

Got a voucher for a spa in Berlin where everyone is nude most of the time. And guess what? It’s fine. Healthy, actually. The UK becomes more & more Victorian in social values by the day istg you lot could use some air around your dangly bits once in a while.

A warning to Democrats about transphobia and where it leads, from someone who's seen it happen in the UK. youtu.be/xHOeLuT3fGg?...

This is basically the same lie he told about autistic people as part of his effort to dehumanize them. It's an ironic line from someone so obviously lacking in creactivity and empathy.

A Palestinian won the Nobel Prize last year

The GOP is historically unpopular right now. This is a time for Democrats to show that they're different. Throwing trans ppl under the bus just tells people that you'll abandon anyone if you think it'll get you power.

They did not "de-extinct" dire wolves, they are not bringing back the woolly mammoth, they are not cloning super warhounds. Tech bros are grifting off of hype and violent fantasies and scientific illiteracy.

Billionaires want you to believe taxing their extreme wealth is too radical and that it can’t be done. Baloney. Economist Gabriel Zucman debunks their lies. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNg2Uea6uUs

How much of a shit parent do you have to be to not be able pick 3 words to describe your child? How rotted is your brain to hope an LLM chatbot knows your kid better than you? The secondhand thinking is horrifying. Dear god.

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

that it's an actual issue that's important. And Republicans are on the right side of it You allow voters to think "Well maybe the Republicans have a point" about all their trans bashing. And in the process you reinforce the false narrative that it's even happening. Lose-lose, for no votes. STOP IT.

should say "I'm 100% pro-trans" - but you can REJECT THEIR FRAME. Just say "I don't know why these weirdos are obsessed with your kids' genitals but I'm not out here to play that game." When you affirm the GOP frame by saying "No I don't support surgeries on kids" you are granting the point ...

based on the sports "issue" WRONG. There ARE NO VOTERS in the persuadable "middle" who are voting based on what they think about "trans issues" Just because they give a "concerned" reply to a poll doesn't mean it matters to their vote. I'm not saying that if you're in the deep south that you...

Someone PLEASE tell Dem candidates that trans-bashing ads are NOT "persuade the available voters" adsm they are BASE MOTIVATORS for the hard right AS SUCH they are aimed at voters that will NEVER BE AVAILABLE TO DEMOCRATS. Consultants will tell you there are voters "in the middle" who vote...

And to be clear, I generally like Hamilton and want him to win but there IS an answer that works, that turns the challenge back on the opposition, if these candidates would LISTEN to those of us who have skin in the game and not the consultants. THIS is the way www.youtube.com/shorts/fvNS1...

but one they stated clearly, Rufo-style, in broad daylight. They literally TOLD the left what they intended to do, then did it, to great success, and we've got a pack of cowardly spineless Dems STILL saying "well maybe they have a point" And then asking us why we're terrified.

there is no off ramp. There's no dramatic "THIS FAR AND NO FURTER" stand you can take. You've boarded a train with no brakes. And it's not just sports. Once trans people are legally a suspect class in ANY respect they are suspect in EVERY respect Which is not only the obvious goal of the zealots...

to illustrate for those asking the ? Once you rhetorically concede that the GOP are right that this is a legitimate problem that needed legislative action to solve, you have conceded the frame and when you do that...you are on a direct, icy, downhill slide to this www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Four of the biggest lies of Neoliberalism 1. money is a scarce resource, 2. inflation is inevitable with any increased money supply, 3. spending has to be “fully funded” 4. interest rates are an effective tool to counter inflation. All Bollocks to keep the rich wealthy and you poor.

Guillermo Del Toro will always be one of my filmmaking heroes.

And anyone in the thrall of GE should read The Big Myth. GE promoted a LOT of pro-market, anti-government, anti-union propaganda while conspiring to rig electricity markets. Yes, you read that right.
