When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.🗽

‘I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’ Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.

It's as if they understand and accept the facts and/or expert consensus on a given topic but set policy in the opposite direction to annoy the libs.

It's not just ignorance or a lack or knowlege. It's anti-knowlegde.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

The Democratic leadership would prefer that you think of them as feckless cowards, when in fact they are Kissinger-like creatures who support massacring Iranians.

In Schumer and Jeffries's realpolitik, they get the war they want while letting the GOP pay the political price. Best of both worlds.

U.S. citizen detained for 3 years says he 'lost everything' and hopes to rebuild René López, who obtained U.S. citizenship as a minor through his naturalized mother, spent years proving that was the case after the government said he wasn't a citizen.

One primary reason he's still 'above water' with his intrinsically racist devotion to 'border security':

Democrats ceded the ground to him, instead of refuting and challenging the racism behind it

It's also a form of cruelty to tell people that they have to vote for their own worsening oppression or else

That's a big part I think a lot of you cis assholes don't seem to fucking get

We are seeing drastic rollbacks to our basic human rights as trans people across this country

When the bubble finally bursts, and the bottom falls out from under the fintech buffoons- I shall be cackling into my porridge, while the shitheads who went all in on this shit defenestrate themselves from skyscrapers

the thing that gets me about the girl’s school massacre is that it was a double tap strike. there was a deliberate attempt to kill the survivors & rescue workers.

what a disgraceful country we are for unleashing the gates of hell because our ailing lump of a president listened to the wrong aide

The United States constitutes a clear, present threat to life throughout the globe-

And ought to be dealt with accordingly

Because it's true. The campaign against Morse has been definitively demonstrated to have had its foundation in purely fact free politically motivated ratfucking. Only the very most base (and militantly homophobic) of Grim's detractors now debate this

He to whom I replied in posting this, subsequently blocked me. You see, he hopped on a (fully warranted) anti-Ryan Grim bandwagon, claiming Grim is a sexual predation apologist (and he is)- but then cited MA (eg Grim's defense of Morse)

I noted only homophobia had informed the effort against Morse

Has anyone out there tips in tackling a cut of shoulder this size? I'm not at all used to preparing, cooking, and dressing a 6.25 pound chuck roast

I can't just continue for this to sit in my freezer. The freezer's full of frozen fruit and vegetables, plus a whole ass 15 pound bird. There's no room

OK, Bluesky-

I have an enormous 6.25 pound cut of 'chuck roast' shoulder that started to thaw to marinate and then soon, in the near future, cook

It seems, thankfully, well marbled, yet shall nonetheless need to be cooked - even regardless of its size- a good long while to produce an edible meal

It is antisemitic to name a neo-colonial Genocidal apartheid settler state after the people Israel. *That* is a true blood libel, a 75 year old blood libel that helps incite and fuel antisemitic hate worldwide

Trump and his hooligans ultimately took over the mechanisms of State, only because the Democrats permitted it

The Democrats do not intend to *combat* fascism. The neo-liberal aim is to create and maintain a fascist state absent 'culture war' cruelties- yet those cruelties are not a barrier to their welcoming of such a police state. Heck, they created such a police state and dutifully surrendered it to Trump

I think we *need* to feel infuriated. Obviously, we cannot allow rage to consume us, but this neo-Confederate's neo-fascist administration- with all of it's outrageous neo-Nazi ties- surely merits our righteous indignation unto such rage and anger such as may previously have frightened many

Yet, an exhortation into what? What is it that you believe Marxists have missed, and hence erred in? Remember that Marxism is not a monolith, and involves over 100 years of thinkers building upon what Marx and Engels gave them

What 'predictions' did Marx offer, that have failed? His practice, was not one of prognosis

Iran has never pursued nuclear weapons. Not even when the Shah was in power. This is very simply not anything that Iran has ever sought

White feminists are the women who tell you that murdering 120 girls at a school advances feminism as a blow to the Iranian theocracy

There are those who believe the Genocidal rape state Hellhole I call the Zionist entity dictates the designs of the white nationalist rape state Hellhole called the US of A

The reverse is true

White feminists are the women who tell you that murdering 120 girls at a school advances feminism as a blow to the Iranian theocracy

I used to get a kick in college out of the 'weird guy with the trash bag full of of mushrooms and pot' patrolling college hallways. Why that was ever permitted, and why that stopped, both elude me

Here, we no longer have bearded golems with weird Grateful Dead patches on their bags and backpacks selling their wares on trips to college towns. Here, it is a commercial industry

I forget that not all states honor cannabis consumption. I've probably gotten spoiled as of late in the Bay State
