I have long red hair and a bushy red beard and I'm a dirty commie. I love dogs and enjoy brewing beer. I support Arsenal FC. I often get mistaken for a conservative because I criticize liberals a lot, but I am, in fact, a communist.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Oof, that's so frustrating.

I don't have a cat to photograph (allergies) but I stand with all workers, always. Here's a pic of my very snuggly dog!

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

I would even go so far as to say that process of systematically normalizing poor whites to self-harm in the spirit of racial animus dates clear back to the failure of Reconstruction, when the Johnson admin not just allowed but encouraged wealthy white southerners and carpetbaggers to co-opt it.

Yes he did, and yes he still does.

They filled in the pools rather than desegregate them. Now they're destroying the schools rather than accept they have been desegregated (except where, for example, in Alabama they still have not). The GOP has been hurting poor whites to hurt Black folks ever since LBJ advocated civil rights.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families β€” and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

I would think Jesus stands a decent chance provided he gets fit and gets some minutes. Havertz and Ødegaard both seem like question marks for fitness though obviously not minutes provided they're fit.

D'ya reckon? Walker is pretty long in the tooth... I think with Southgate out it's very likely Ben is back in.

Very little. Organizing meaningful resistance against them is the complicated part.

In fairness many of us have a spot of PTSD over what happened over the last few years.

What tantrum would that be? You're the one hurling insults. You're the one posting text walls.

Parades don't fight fascism. Kat Abughazaleh is actually doing stuff but it's not marching, they're engaged in real direct action. Also though she's been calling this fascism for YEARS as an actual journalist actually laying things out and actually DOING something. And yes I do support her.

I'm not angry, why do people keep saying I am? I'm not the one calling anybody names. Meanwhile I've been utterly dogpiled and called all manner of insults. I'm committed. If I am indeed so manifestly stupid why are y'all engaging with me instead of ignoring me?

Strawman much? Meanwhile what's with your obsession with intellect? Do you believe in meritocracy? Libs gonna lib.

I don't believe the Democrats have any interest in opposing fascism because they're aggressively pro-capitalist and late stage global capitalism is incompatible with liberal democracy so they're privately on board with 86ing democratic institutions. So they do the bare minimum to mollify the base.

Chelsea definitely have the edge here... Are Slot's lads slipping? #CHELIV
