I'm trying to raise $276 to help pay my house's oil bill. It's been cold here in MA, and our oil tank has been refilled about once a month, costing over $500 each time >:(

If I can raise this amount, it'll help my partner and I catch up from the last 2 months.

Early in my copyright career I had a complex, nuanced take on the ethics of piracy. Now I'm like, fuck it, pirate copies are perhaps the main way any copies of corporate-owned media (esp tv/movies) are gonna persist through unrestrained corporate looting, have at it.

Hey you guys should totally throw money at Doc, he's a great writer, game dev and thinker, but also just a great guy all around.

to continue existing as a society we must expropriate every billionaire's fortune and nationalize every big tech company, nothing less can work

yes, the armaggedon talk is bad, it's also a pretty good way to encourage mutinies, which is the main thing Hegseth is good at

The US was fascist since its founding.

If public concern is lacking, it may be because people have noted how often public concern didn't matter to the people who have power in the past (see: public concern about AI, rifles, etc.)

You will either become a fascist or a communist in the next 20 years so you might as well take your pick now

Really can't be left unacknowledged that every single state in the region that houses US military personnel, except for maybe two, do so against the will of the supermajority of their own public's opinion but it does not matter because most of these states are US backed dictatorships.

Seems fitting that this is what the "U.S." is fighting a war to defend.

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

When the US did regime change in Libya to bring democracy, it led to slave markets being introduced.

With Iraq, the country collapsed and ISIS emerged as a destabilizing force.

In Afghanistan, trillions were spent only for the Taliban to return to power within days of the US withdrawal.

CHINA: "The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years. The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions. The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability."

China will be setting the geopolitical standard for the foreseeable future & the world will be better for it as more countries start choosing the stability of China over the instability of US hegemony, & the US will surely try to turn the world into hell as it lashes out with its last dying gasps.

A new Super PAC, "Chicago Progressive Partnership," just jumped into #IL09, opposing Kat Abughazaleh. Filings show they’re using the same vendors as AIPAC.

one good thing about being antiwar is you will never be wrong. one bad thing about being antiwar is no one who matters will ever listen to you

we (Americans) owe the world the destruction of the United States

"Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons" says everyone. Because then they'd be able to defend themselves. And since 1945 America has never attacked anyone who (they think) can defend themselves.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Wonderful color artist Tatjana Wood died 3 days shy of her 100th birthday… her work within the limited palette of four-color comics was always impressive and added mood. Important to remember as modern comics reprinting often relegates original coloring to the dustbin of history.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

SHARE SHARE!

So the women’s hockey team got fresh pasta at a swanky restaurant in Milan with Stanley Tucci and the men’s team got cold McDonalds in a room blaring Toby Keith where the President didn’t even eat with them. Y’all idk if you’ve noticed but the patriarchy sucks FOR YOU.

Hey, this cool designer needs help. If you can

Imagine being a member of the "I Rape Kids and Assault Minorites" party and wondering why America doesn't embrace you.
