“Bingle, 38, is the incumbent currently vying for a second term. He has a track record of kowtowing to the interests of the far-right in Spokane and to the business class, which has brought him scrutiny from local progressives.“

Shoutout to the Micah Parsons rumors to distract me from (waves grandly) this sociopolitical crumbling

Concern I have is the Titans O-line. I saw enough of him at WSU to where the second the pocket collapses he got flustered. He was fortunate to have one of the best offensive lines in the country at Miami. He’s going to have to learn to adjust to NFL style pass rushes very quick. Maybe he’ll adjust?

I am skeptical of the acquisition of Sam Darnold. It seems like every chance that he’s gotten to prove that he is “the guy“ he just seems to falter a flake. The risk outweighs the reward in this situation. The weapons that the Seahawks will have in 25 are not quite as talented as the 24 Vikings.

The MAGA right thinks that they represent what is best for a free speech, democracy, and so forth, but in all actuality here, they are trying to take whatever rights we have left in this bourgeois democracy. We need to fight back.

The attempt to deport Khalil because of his speech is an unconstitutional abuse of power. Stop all illegal detentions and protect First Amendment rights to speech and protest. Call your Senators and your Representative! Click here to send them a letter: actionnetwork.org/letters/defe...

The do nothing Dems are just proving how ineffective they are on fighting fascism.

If you’re of the billionaire class, then there’s a good chance that you are deeply passionate and care about the American project as a whole. However, if you are of the working class, there is a good chance that you may not feel represented by the American project. Am I wrong?

The left needs to take back the language of rebellion. That is ours.

We call on all those who value democracy, human rights, and human decency to join together and pressure the billionaire class and the U.S. government to end its support for the criminal actions of the Israeli government.

If you ask capitalists what is wrong with socialism, they just describe capitalism.

I would recommend listening to this when you get a chance.

Why do working class people who voted for Trump feel like he represents them? The dude is nothing but an elitist, grifter, and fraud. He doesn’t represent you, period. The billionaire class doesn’t represent you.

So are working class people still okay with the fact that they elected an elitist billionaire who doesn’t care for them?

Costco Teamsters Overwhelmingly Vote to Authorize Strike

I am as Costco-pilled as anyone, but I hope people cheering them also realize that they're about to force thousands of their workers to strike because they won't agree on a new contract. Do not cross a picket line if they do. teamster.org/2025/01/cost...

The two party establishment has put their parties and elitist corporate interests over the people. Look no further than what Trump is doing.

I’ve never met a Hoxhaist before. I just know that socialism is a science, not a dogma, and that dialectical and historical materialism are important tools at our disposal to help us better understand patterns and parallels throughout history, analyze data, and make informed decisions.

At least with the United States, this country functions like that of a corporation.

In the US and Canada, we see a merging of bank capital with industrial capital, where finance capital acts of that like an oligarchy.

Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, and we are seeing this in both the US and Canada. For instance, we see a concentration of production and capital developed to a high stage in that is has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life.

The classical definition of socialism is the working class ownership of the means of production, which is something not prevalent in US or Canada. Our workplaces for the most part are not very democratic.

The communists have defeated fascism in the past and will be on the side of those who
defeat it again.

#antifascism

Yeah, left anti-communism is emotional and idealistic. It does not help in building the just and equitable world we all deserve.

Dialectical and historical materialism are powerful tools at our disposal. We, on the left, when using these tools, can closely examine the world around us, study history and analyze historical patterns of change, and make informed decisions. It’s time to get organized and fight back.

Both Trump at Hitler use scapegoats to blame people for their plight. Hitler scapegoated communists and Jews for the plight of society. Trump scapegoats immigrants for the plight of society. Fascism and scapegoats go in tandem. Indeed, the Trump of 2025 is much more radical than the one in 2016.

While Trump isn’t Hitler, there are parallels to Trump’s rise here in the United States, in that they both use an “us vs. them” mentality to pit people against each other as material conditions weaken for much of the working class.
