Worth noting, there is a certain type of liberal on this app whose job it is to pour cold water on any mention of general strike, and with the vigor of someone getting paid to do so.

The fact that I was blocked for that suggests it was a DNC sock puppet.

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago (RNS) — Despite potential danger, religious leaders and faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area ICE protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who w...

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

No, I simply know party history and what centrist Dems who took over in the 1990s have lost for the country.

My post literally qualifies it with the word “much”. Every other prog economic win up to LBJ was to complete the ideals of the New Deal. Clintons “third-way” abandoned it and is now losing social progress, too, while centrists float the idea of throwing vulnerable coalition members under the bus.

FDR, the man centrist Dems refuse to even name got much of those progressive wins passed. The “New Democrats” under Clinton (name intentionally differentiates from the FDR era) voted unanimously to deregulate ND antitrust, media, and bank regulations. Get out of here with your stolen valor.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Pretty sure it’s time for centrists to shut up since they lost all of the hard fought progressive wins of the 2Oth century.

It’s AI slop, and AI is unquestionably being pushed by the far right.

I’m familiar with the expression. I just wasn’t sure how you were applying it here. I agree. Our economic priorities are all messed up in this country.

Not sure I understand your point

I agree. The thing is, our entire economic system is based on that expected behavior. The hyper-individualistic “self-interest model” in neoliberalism wants and expects everyone to behave selfishly.

this feels like forty years ago but it was 2023

They have never used language that strong to describe anything the Trump admin has done. NYT sure does love the idea of fascism.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

My bad

Because their “liberty” to oppress and exploit others has been restored.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Hard disagree. We’ve managed the reality of stupid people for as long as there have been humans. Managing AI is a completely different threat.

The Guardian (@theguardian.com) should know better than this - the US gov’t characterizing as an armed conflict its extra-judicial killing of drug smugglers on the high seas, does not make it so. Media should not legitimize the false claim.

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

Photos are AI slop

Love it when bots like my anti-corporate posts because they are programmed to “like” any mention of corporate America. They must not know over half of Americans currently have a negative view of capitalism due to corporate corruption.

Boomer Dem neoliberals gambled that private corporations would choose democracy over profits when they deregulated in the 1990s. They lost and still won’t admit it. It’s the sole reason Dem leadership looks so feckless right now. They refuse to challenge corporate America. Too beholden to its $$$.

Concentrated media ownership is the propaganda arm of corporates America. Corporate America prefers fascism to regulation of, and higher taxes on, corporations. Why are we still pretending otherwise?

Pure evil masquerading as a Christian.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.
