it's funny watching people redevelop Marxism from first principles over and over again but good on y'all I suppose

PEN America claims to support free speech, but fired me for speaking about Palestine The free speech organization PEN America fired me three days after I published an article about how they investigated me for sharing an article critical of Zionism. My termination is a sad reflection...

The free speech organization PEN America fired me three days after I published an article about how they investigated me for sharing an article critical of Zionism. My termination is a sad reflection of PEN's censorious approach to Palestine.

Hey everyone, I am moderating a panel on the legacy of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood with special guests David Newell, the iconic Mr. McFeely, and others. Join me at White Whale Bookstore in Bloomfield this Friday at 7pm. www.eventbrite.com/e/the-legacy...

Tesla is all-in on fraud, from too to bottom.

Leading a transition to sustainable energy doesn't matter. Making and selling cars doesn't even matter. It's just a memecoin backed by Elon's empty, broken promises to "solve real world AI" and make magic self-driving cars and robot slaves.

— yet you’re still following the old playbook

If only there were companies that made this “plastic” and specific executives at those companies who were responsible.

breaking all the rules

Music artists make, on average, only $0.003 to $0.005 per stream, yet platforms like Spotify made over $1.3 billion in profits in 2024.

Let's pass my Living Wage for Musicians Act to take on corporate greed in the music industry and give musicians the fair pay they (cont in reply...)

A little on the nose

This is incredible

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

lmao

2009—Cory Booker endorses Michael Bloomberg for Mayor & Bloomberg wasn’t even then a Democrat

2021—Cory Booker endorses Eric Adams for mayor

2025—Cory Booker refuses to endorse Zohran Mamdani, claiming he stays out of NYC politics

The hypocrisy from corporate Democrats is staggering & cowardly.

Your hand goes on the place where it gets really hot

Your beer tastes bad?

Swill issue

😭

dinner 2: dinner harder

*put forth

💯

Honestly it could’ve just been this much

Absolutely pathetic party. The very least they could’ve done is vote no on every pick out forth during trumps term

❤️

Oh cool Pennsylvania seems to be right around the top 5 for projected losses - estimated here at $339 million

Being an old punk is seeing this much of an unlabeled concert video and knowing exactly where it’s from

Tweet by Melanie Phillips: Zohran Mamdani leads among Jewish voters by a 17-point margin in the race to become New York City’s next mayor. Mamdani, a Shia “Twelver” Islamist, will bankrupt and Islamise New York and pose a threat to its Jewish community. With their Pavlovian reflex to support the Democratic party and its anti-west, anti-white, anti-Jewish ideological dogmas, it was entirely predictable that before long these US Jews would themselves become a threat to the Jewish people. That moment has arrived. 9:50 am August 1 2025 includes a pic of Zohran Mamdani for engagement clicks https://x.com/MelanieLatest/status/1951279445886771340

I'm so bored of these fascist losers reciting verbatim from comics drawn in 2008
