We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

Establishment Democrats have already lost On healthcare affordability, Zohran Mamdani, and radical change—now.

Last week's election and last night's betrayal prove that the Democratic base has rightfully moved to the left of its establishment politicians and their status quo. Voters won't accept it anymore, so the party either follows them or fails. Me for @spitfirenews.com

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Alright Dave Portnoy and Bill Ackman time to leave New York City and never return like you promised

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Once again:

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

A poster that says Did you see: -a tent in the woods? -someone shoplifting? -a person sleeping in their car? NO YOU FUCKING DIDNT people are struggling don't make it worse

Blaming economic collapse on a "sweet treat" is crazy

I'm actually fine with it if unemployed people had access to food and undocumented immigrants had access to free, comprehensive healthcare. Society's responsibility to the individual should not be contingent on the individual contribution to society.

JFK was wrong. Ask your country for more.

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

gotta remember that no one likes this shit

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."

They called us haters and fools for saying that AI slop was never actually going to increase productivity and would in fact very obviously do the opposite but of course we were right because duh

my personal biggest frustration with introducing censorship to any adult space (e.g bsky, ao3) is that it won't stop that taboo content from being produced, it just means it'll go untagged so people can't avoid it if they want to

This is not a hypothetical! Anti-abortion folks have literal blood on their hands, blood covering their entire bodies at this point with the number of people their policies and ideology have killed directly.

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

The national gaslighting about Charlie Kirk Another pattern of censorship that only hurts the left—and emboldens political violence.

Here’s my @spitfirenews.com analysis of this

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Worst person you know makes a great point
