Do you know how bad it has to be for protesters in Dallas to brave the summer heat?

What I like about Texas is how most of the elected officials inherited their fathers car dealership or plumbing business, have never worked a forty hour week, and they have to dabble in politics because seeing their name in the newspaper is the only thing that gets their dick hard.

the way democracy works now is that we keep voting for people to whack us in the nuts with bigger and bigger hammers. occasionally we vote for someone who says they’ll use smaller hammers, but guess what? bigger hammers

I bring a sort of "but they can just print more money" vibe to the party that business bros don't like.

Retailiation: Robin Hood in the Workplace For Steal Something from Work Day 2025, we explore the laudable phenomenon of "Robin Hood" employees.

Every year, we observe April 15 as Steal Something from Work Day—an opportunity to reflect on the causes and implications of workplace theft.

This year, we turn our focus to “Robin Hood employees”—those who steal from their workplaces in order to share with others. 🧵

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

It's double or nothing for everyone now.

There is no more middle ground.

If you care about public health, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about medical research, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in warzones, there is nothing else for it—you have to become a revolutionary.

There is no going back to the way things were, to the future that we once anticipated. The old world is in flames around us.

Become an anarchist, or forever hold your peace.

To be an anarchist means to recognize that our freedom and well-being are inextricably bound up with the freedom and well-being of billions like us. It means discarding all the old excuses for remaining subservient to those who only endeavor to enrich themselves at others’ expense. It means becoming fiercely loyal to what is best in ourselves and each other, to our capacity for compassion and cooperation and courage. Across two centuries, anarchists have resisted under monarchies and persisted through dictatorships. Now that liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism are concluding in a new form of tyranny, a new generation must draw on this long legacy of struggle.

Republicans in the Senate voted tonight while no one is watching to fatten Wall Street profits by jacking up overdraft fees on you.

So much for lowering costs.
