Goat farms are very respectable! (Unlike goats! But we love them anyway.)
Sweeping guilty verdicts in the federal Prairieland antifa cases. These cases were an effort by the Trump admin to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists and further, prosecute dissent. This Texas trial was a test of his power. He won. This laid out the case and stakes: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...
These depositions were an amazing glimpse at the truth of how stupid and brainwashed the people working for Trump are, so of course the administration had them removed.

Gentile Americans, please know this. The far-right government in Israel doesn’t give one single shit about American Jews, but they fucking love evangelical Christians.

Had to write a thing just for the people claiming that you can make yourself immune to layoffs if you are agentic enough
I've not seen any evidence whatsoever that the 'fire everyone' tool can actually 'fire everyone'.
More and more customers are furious that they cannot reach a real person in support. The transformative AI projects i've seen ACTUALLY be successful are gussied up IOT made to look like AI.
If Iran killed 140+ girls in a school bombing in a million years does anyone think this wouldn’t be a front page story in NYT? Does anyone think this would be an A11 story? Does anyone think they would be so faux anal retentive about attributing responsibility for five days? Obviously not.
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US
has there ever been a tech like this where it's openly advertised that it's gonna make your life worse
Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”
This is not to say Israel does not have an influence, of course. But it's influence based in shared interests, shared militarism, shared racism, etc.
But Israel does not CONTROL America. America has no problem bombing brown people without Israel or anyone else.
My take on why many (white) progressives say that Israel is making the US go to war is that they would very much prefer that to be the case than to have to examine their own culpability and participation in America's white supremacist militaristic reality.
So much easier if it's outsiders.
The odds of this turning into an abject humanitarian disaster and a permanent stain on a very stained ledger of US foreign policy is just sitting there on the table all the time every time they decide to do yet another wave of aerial bombing, which is incredibly postwar brained
Your periodic reminder that the United States and basically no polity on earth is in position to do something if oh I don't know, Iranian electricity were to get knocked out or a water plant goes
Everyone says “he’s just the mayor who cares” but it does matter when it’s one of the biggest cities in the world that’s also in the imperial core and the worlds financial center, and his enemies think it’s a worthwhile front to fight on. Building international socialism means holding to this
To address an annoying quote tweet: “throwing under the bus” is shorthand for implying his wife did not know who Susan Abulhawa was (who she did illustrations for) instead of taking a rhetorical line that this is a Zionist goose chase and Abulhawa is a preeminent voice in the Palestinian struggle
actually insane to throw your wife under the bus for a bunch of people who will never be satisfied for with you AND over a tweet that is a thousand percent factually true
Fun fact: Most labor statistics do not count people who have been out of a job for six months or more.
So these numbers actually IMPROVE when long-term unemployed people fall off the rolls.
But sure. Those people are doing better. THE GRAPH SAID SO.
For 40% of Americans, inflation has outstripped wage growth.
Of course your averages don't reflect that.

40% of Americans are a minor disaster away from homelessness. But hey, I guess 40% of Americans is just an anecdote not reflective of the average. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
If people want to defeat the GOP, they need to grasp with this reality. Stop telling us we're doing better. Stop telling us our suffering is GOP propaganda. Stop telling us to be grateful for scraps.
Nobody is going to be excited to vote for scraps.
In 2014, I was paying about $60 for electricity a month. I have a bigger family now of course. But now? My electric bills are upwards of $700.
Insurance? Was $300. Now it's $1,200. I used to have a $25 copay and no deductible. Now? $300 and $20,000. It's unusable.
I wish I could take these people, these people who SEEM to want a better world. I wish I could take them and put their noses in these stories and rub them in until they internalized it.
If you're telling suffering people that they're not suffering, they will NEVER SIDE WITH YOU.
And they're so condescending about it.
"I'm suffering."
"This graph says you're an outlier?"
"Then why is everyone I know suffering?"
"That literally cannot be true the graph says so."
I wish I could get through to them.
You want to know the figure I care about?
When you're broke and you call the food bank and they say they're spread extra thin now because even working professionals have needed help and they now have wait lists.
That's what I care about. Actual hungry people.
