My response to 'discovering' them a few years ago was, "Does everybody else know about this brilliant band??!"

The answer was "Yes."

(A dear friend was even in their touring band, ffs)

Sex Workers Versus the Algorithm No seriously, fuck the algorithm.

today on @theflytrapmedia.com a banger (pun extremely intended) from @sesmith.lol on the censorship of sex workers and how the algorithm and payment processers screw (pun extremely intended) with their hard-earned $$

gavin newsom is a very useful weathervane because he believes in nothing save the fact that he should be president

that he's making these noises about israel support should tell you how incredibly over it is for israel within the democratic party going forward

Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.

"The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word 'war', therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist."

The people whom I've seen back at Broadview after they'd been arrested there, still with charges hanging over their heads, are about as bad-ass as it gets.

My niece is currently spiraling through the 'needs a car to go to work and needs gas to drive the car and needs a job that can pay for a car and gas because she needs a car to go to work and...' cycle.

Definitely a gateway to despair.

Best police force to protect a murderous army of secret police - Chicago Reader Unified Command of Broadview, Illinois, a powerhouse conglomerate of cops led by the Illinois State Police and the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.

"If you need protection for your battalion of murderous secret police, look no further than the Unified Command of Broadview."
