i have it on good authority from bluesky liberals that the economy & liberal policy was actually extremely good, so good, never better, and voters were just too stupid & uneducated to realize

let's hollow every institution out on a slow burn for a while until everyone is at the breaking point, and then let's turn loathsome kleptocrats loose with armed goons, tactical starvation, and gilded ballrooms. surely nothing could go off in a surprising direction

Teen Vogue rising after the 2016 election and dying after the 2024 election doesn't even feel like a metaphor as much as a microcosm of what is happening all over places that were once strong areas of resistance.

It's almost as if letting the ultra-rich own the entire mainstream press and also all the big social platforms had a downside.

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

The Andrew Cuomo campaign may be the most glaring example of “they think you’re stupid” I’ve ever seen.

Sidenote: if you’re voting for Andrew Cuomo I also think you are very very very stupid.

either become politically radical and reject traditional liberal/capitalist institutions or embrace fascism administered by your corrupt incestuous capitalist overlords. all roads lead to socialism or barbarism.

it should be increasingly clear that there is no antifascism, anticapitalism or even progressivism/politics of conscience that can exist under liberal/capitalist institutions for long. they are currently actively being purged by the capital class.

so you know how teen vogue had improbably become one of the most compotent mainstream political news/editorial sources? like fully replacing legacy liberal media outlets? conde nast is finally doing away with that entirely.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

The Outer Worlds was explicitly anticapitalist agitprop so its honestly pretty disappointing that the Outer Worlds 2, post Microsoft acquisition, is about the grey area between traditional fascism & neoliberal fascism and you play a space cop

figures like Giuliani & Bloomberg could unilaterally set policy as mayor but we're supposed to simultaneously accept that these powers are unavailable to anyone trying to do reform from the left

we're supposed to believe that the executive position is totally powerless & ornamental meanwhile the federal government can do whatever any idiot Trump appointee personally feels like with complete impunity and supposedly nothing in all of government can stop it

People are like “Mamdani can’t do the things he promises” and you gotta stop saying stupid shit like that. Like free your mind from this cancerous nihilistic ideology that good things are impossible. I know you think it’s reasonable optimism or something but it is actually deeply cynical.

Freedom of and from religion is vital, but that freedom of religion doesn’t oblige us to revere or respect any religions!

We should respect people’s right to believe, but we are NOT obliged to respect religions.

Do it baby. Do it DO IT. Let's see how that works out

I mean you are living through an attempt at inflicting mass starvation on millions of people. This is an ELIMINATIONIST political movement. The sooner folks wake up to this, the better for all of us.

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

It's great that the president goes on 60 Minutes and his cottage cheese brain that was frozen in 1986 short circuits for several minutes straight in front of a million viewers and nothing happens

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

The “Person who wants a political party to lose describes what that political party must do to win” genre of article is just incredibly insulting to everyone’s intelligence yet it will persist until the end of time

We live in the most evil country in the world.

Cant even say that if the US govt started invading other sovereign nations the world would stand up & fight back. Since the cold war & especially in the last 24 years the US has conducted assassinations, coups, invasions & occupations all over the world, for its own interests, with impunity.

no, seriously. what is the majority of the rest of the world doing? the only opposition is political/rhetorical. There are no armies. There's no global war. Nobody is fighting & dying to stop this. There isnt even any kind of upstart militant resistance in the United States itself.

this is the worst kind of malicious compliance

I know there’s a rule about this. They don’t care about rules. They ignore any and all rules whenever it suits them. They’re ignoring court orders to feed ppl RIGHT NOW.

It’s about which ones they enforce & against whom. In yet another way, they’re working to ensure ppl to go hungry.

FDA’s top drug regulator resigns amid investigation George Tidmarsh, the FDA's top drug regulator, has been placed on leave after being accused of abusing his regulatory authority, STAT has learned.

All of these people are so grievously unqualified, it’s incredible.

What a disaster administration. Makary was literally praising this Stanford guy on his podcast 3 months ago.

“Such an impressive resume. Just impeccable credentials,” he said, beaming.
