poor children literally went without food. people lost jobs and went into debt and got evicted and sold their cars they need to get to work. people who otherwise would have lived longer will die younger because of the stress of this. people did things for money they can't undo

This leads to what I mean by antifascist economics. It doesn’t target one party; it tackles the material conditions that make fascism appealing: insecurity, despair, unmet basic needs. Policies that make life affordable are not just social policy, they are democracy insurance.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

“The destruction of U.S.A.I.D. [caused] public man-made death. And the cruelty and lethality will only grow as the Administration expands its rollback of public-health advances to the homeland.”

Point em out. Let them stand beside you in your "time of need."

Say their names just like you said Banda's name. Don't be shy now. Stand on business. Your transphobia and racism aren't alone in this league, so tell us who.

Ok, honest question: was he getting lost

one of my spicy takes, for example, is that limits on strikes are unconstitutional under the 13th Amendment, because if we have a right to be free from forced labor, we must necessarily have a right to stop working and negotiate the conditions of our labor

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.

HOPE IS A DECISION

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face the right way.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

And, Eddy was quietly a bigot for a long time. If you think your team doesn't have at least one player that will say, at a minimum "she's making some valid points" you are a fool. That goes for my team and that player they signed late. We're just relocating the priests if you need a comparison.

Palate cleanse. Some humans are terrible, but more of us are great.

they all write/talk like this now and it feels like a new genre: hate smut; manic, agitated vitriol that reads like it was written while feverishly masturbating to revenge fantasies

ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment

LLMs are racist snd sexist because the material they’re trained on is racist snd sexist and they’re owned and operated by racist, sexist billionaires.

Stop using this shit. It’s fucking up your brain.

Happy Halloween

So if you listen to…

One of the things the guy in the bike helmet says …

“Hands Up. don’t shoot”

The last ten years mattered even if folks don’t want to admit it

France should have kept its language at home then.

from sarah gorden:

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

our reserves are cleared out and the high school drop off point is also cleared out

people are staring down the choice to pay rent or eat food and are taking big risks to go to jobs

we are also looking for diapers — specifically size 4, 5 and 6

New career path: Telling everyone that I use generative AI for everything (and then just half-assing it with my own brain) so people I don’t respect throw piles of money at me and are cool with the final product being bad.

I heard that the second leading cause is when they slip on a banana peel and accidentally shoot themselves in the junk

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs."

Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.
