No tax dollars for healthcare, but plenty for ballrooms.

“Revolutionaries” don’t sit at home and criticize the organizing others do.

The only way out is together.

Unless you’re planning something bigger and better before Saturday…

My linocut portrait of  Hypatia in purple holding an astrolabe up to her eye with her left arm while her right rests on geometric diagrams on sheets of paper on her table. Astrolabe and table plus diagrams are bronze in colour. I’ve shown her with curly hair piled up on her head, in a loose tunic with sash. Behind her are two Doric columns and arch.

Lina Khan on stage at the podium

Lina Khan on stage at the podium

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures.

...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

Any police officer who vows to quit depending on the results of an election is openly admitting that they are partisan, that they swore an oath but it was conditional, and that they believe the work they do as law enforcement is tied to a particular political party.

All of these are damning.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

If it’s not okay to be anti-fascism anymore, is it still okay to be pro-democracy? 🤔

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

Okay, but how will they bring back the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that have been murdered? Will they give the land of Palestine back, and rebuild what they’ve destroyed, and pay reparations?

It’s almost like allowing monopolies and conglomerations to control everything, refusing to pay taxes or wages, hoarding most of the wealth results in the bottom falling out of the economy!

No, it’s on brand for national dems, that’s why I was shocked to see it from you.

The bar is in HELL, stop trying to rehabilitate this man’s image. He’s one of the main reasons our country fell to fascism.

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.”

WHEW.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

We can rip each other apart for the benefit of the billionaire class, OR we can focus only on what unites us- working. Working class folks need to organize their places of employment, and plan to strike.

Strike- don’t buy, don’t work.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Well I’ll be, some Democrats with a fucking spine.

Still tho, they need to be calling for a general strike and boycotts.
