Thousand percent. Gonna go ahead and see if I can never watch another one again

Rae Huang inside the Wiltern in Los Angeles talking with her hand on her chest, amongst a small crowd of fellow organizers, one on their phone to the left, and another to the right jubiliantly making an exclamation, a red table is in the background

LA mayoral candidate Rae Huang smiling towards the camera with the Wiltern stage in the background, other people nearby are standing, many photographers are present. The banner onstage reads Billionaire Tax Now - Vote Yes 11/3/26 - billionairetaxnow.org

Closeup of Bernie Sanders onstage giving a speech at the Billionaire Tax rally at the Wiltern, he is raising his right hand and talking into a mic while standing at a podium

It was so inspiring to be together with fellow Angelenos who are fighting for the livelihood and dignity of working families. We have enough wealth in our state for everyone to thrive. It’s time we share that wealth.

I'm fully endorsing SEIU-UHW's Billionaire Tax for California. Tax the Rich!

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Members-only Philly cop bar has been linked to two DUIs — and a third crash kept secret, until now Anna Wakeman still questions why 7C Lounge bartenders didn’t stop serving the officer who crashed into her house and upended her life five years ago.

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

Ok but Jeremy Irons

One of the priests who went into the Beoadview facility, Fr. Paul Keller (speaking here), said he felt "a society with dirty hands actually asking for the forgiveness of those who are being detained, as opposed to encouraging them to repent of their sins."

The devastating floods citywide this week highlight the need for local government to focus on what matters. When street infrastructure upgrades are blocked and killed by a mayor and city council that answer to a NIMBY real estate lobby and not people, we all pay the price.

made fan art for my favourite horror movie

LOL ME NEITHER HEY HOWS LIFE EAT ANY COOL SANDWICHES LATELY?

Hey you ever feel like 99% of people you know just suddenly think you’re garbage and hope you vanish forever?

Celebrating Black Cinema: Shawn Edwards on the Black Movie Hall of Fame | Black Writers Week | Roger Ebert An interview with Shawn Edwards on the creation of the Black Movie Hall of Fame.

For @ebertvoices.bsky.social I spoke with Shawn Edwards about his efforts to open the Black Movie Hall of Fame in Kansas City, Missouri.

‘The left hates technology’ my friend I love tech so much I want to seize the means of its production

8) privatization of essential public services like education and healthcare

9) erosion of consumer protections

10) perpetuation of the quasi-eugenic notion that there's even such a thing as "intelligence"

4) surveillance capitalism, data mining, privacy violation technology

5) statistical inference and modeling

6) patent medicine, disinfo, and other forms of grifty scam tech

7) Multi-level marketing schemes and more straightforward ponzi schemes

1) mainframes, now rebranded as "the cloud!" Or Software As Service

2) offshoring and outsourcing, with a strong emphasis on piecework and the erosion of employment protections

3) automation with ane eye to deskilling and breaking segments of the labour force perceived as restless...

Part of the reason this is all so tiresome is that what we're calling AI is a political project combining a bunch of preexisting sociotechical processes designed to shift power from the masses to the managerial class. A non-exhaustive list in no particular order:

I see little reason for "the left" to engage apart from understanding what this really is, a technology of class warfare from above, and therefore, resiting, undermining, and sabotaging any aspects of it which do not serve the interests of the majority of us not in the ruling class.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

"the radical left is pushing people to the right" i started off just wanting healthcare as a teenager and after seeing the system fail over and over i now believe it should be entirely torn down but sure it's the pronouns that are making people into psychopathic racists

Twin Cities Unions Planning ‘Largest US Rent Strike in 100+ Years’ as ICE Occupation Drives Eviction Crisis | Common Dreams "Tenants in Minnesota are in a crisis," said Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai. "The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our local economy."

In what could be the “largest rent strike in the US in the last 100 years," a coalition of tenant + labor unions representing over 25K workers are threatening a mass rent strike in the face of the ongoing occupation by ICE. www.commondreams.org/news/minneso...

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

Chlorine Dioxide, Raw Camel Milk: The FDA No Longer Warns Against These and Other Ineffective Autism Treatments The FDA has taken down a webpage warning about therapies and products making “false claims” of treating autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

For years, the FDA website warned of products and remedies claiming to treat autism that were being marketed deceptively and can be harmful.

Just a few:
•hyperbaric oxygen therapies
•chlorine dioxide
•raw camel milk.

Now, under RFK Jr, that advisory is gone.

New, @megomatz.bsky.social
