All words are made up

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

Counterpoint: Thune knows he can walk all over Schumer because Schumer has been capitulating to the GOP/Thune/McConnell/etc. since he was elected to the Senate a quarter of a century ago.

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

This is a song inspired, in part, by female g*nital mutilation* (*not derogatory).

Because racism and misogyny don't have political limits

I'll never get being mad at voters' instead of mad at pols who won't earn voters' votes.

A large majority of voters (of all parties) wanted Medicare for All & wanted the Gaza genocide to end.

If Harris had said "I believe in M4A" or "I'll end the genocide," she'd have won in a landslide.

Girl, they were giving away the mpox vax at the clinic for free!

I’m not gonna make it thru two more years of lib bot swarms. Every pipe of the internet is flooded with unlife eventually. We have to get out of here, we need new everything.

Some personal news

Ugh, they’d contaminate the ground water. I’m a fan of the “one way ticket into the Sun” method.

Pre-Watergate journos hated DILFs, apparently.

Burly and bearded men just need to tenderly hug it out. No, I didn't listen to the podcast, why do you ask?

Are there specific editions of Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto you would recommend?

I, for one, would welcome these Felidae overlords

a close up of a cartoon character 's face with a serious expression . Alt: Filmation’s He-Man turns his head to the right to face the viewer, then winks.

TBF, He-Man’s coiffure is rather off putting and confusing. I mean, did someone at Filmation think “Roz from 9 to 5, but blonde”?

Max Dubler, AICP Counterpoint: we should triple the number of homes in the Bay Area so that everyone who wants to move here can do so. Troutski I don't like all this national attention from the Superbowl on the Bay. We don't need more people finding out how great it is here. I liked it better when they all thought it was a shit hole. The rent is too damn h... John J Filson I agree w/Troutski. Until CA can handle population/growth better, it should not try to encourage population growth other that select, desirable demographics expected to benefit the state as a whole. Likewise it should tailor incentives to disperse population growth.

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

hideous, of course, but I have to admire her immediate instinct to fuckin go for it

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

All net proceeds of all these shirts, hoodies and onesies will go to aid organizations in Minnesota working to protect their neighbors from terror. Fuck ICE, stand with Minneapolis.

MAP: Minneapolis General Strike Movement Spreads to 250 Cities on Friday At least 215 cities plan to hold actions in solidarity with the Minneapolis General Strike.

Given the dangerously cold weather in Minneapolis today (-17f), I worry that corporate media will downplay the strike since a lot of folks wouldn’t wanna march.

This makes the 250 solidarity actions being held around the country all that more important.
