Homelessness, starvation, and debtors prisons most likely

Today, the @wfp-de.bsky.social announced that food stocks have completely run out in Gaza due to Israel's 8-week long total blockade of the Gaza Strip preventing the entry of food, medicine, and aid to nearly 2 million Palestinians. A war crime backed by the United States.

For instance, Vermont has a contract to send prisoners to Mississippi.

Thank you @god.bsky.social for acknowledging my pedantic ness.

It’s worth mentioning that I’m far too explicative and literal to be a “poster” but I love everyone else’s posts.

I really hope grad school doesn’t make me boring and pedantic. God knows I’m pedantic enough as it is, and if it does, how will I continue to enjoy ironic engagement with social media?!?!

Demand that I enjoy what I love and it will destroy me.

Love that tax season has gone from “file by April” to “bombardment of urgency starting in January”. Obscured in the language of “deals”, it’s really a demand to comply with a public sector responsibility managed by the private sector in a naked way it hasn’t really been before to my experience.

Fried fish is actually just amazing. Even if you don’t like other forms. It’s too good to hate.

Not to mention people who vote one party or the other *are not actually* party members in that they have no say in the internal workings of the RNC or DNC. The Dems said as much in 2016.

Not only boring, but very transparently trying to disempower actual science so they can sell snake oil somewhere down the line.

I’m playing halo and my cat keeps looking at me every time there’s loud noises. I thought it was annoyance, but am finding that she knows that loud noises mean I die, pause the game, and pet her lol.

sounds like a way to manufacture consent to heavily crack down on anyone who expresses discontent about health insurance companies like they did with that woman in Florida.

We actually have examples of Arab leaders overthrown by U.S. imperialism, destroying the country’s infrastructure and its capacity to run a modern state and spiraling the country into stateless chaos — worse than what existed before.

You only have to look at Libya and Iraq as recent examples.

Ugh—og tankies supported Kruschev in Hungary, in a weird reversal, tankie now refers to those who support Stalin, and now even Trots cans be tankies?!?! What fresh incoherent hell will be next? Are proudhonists destined to be the next tankies?

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a revolutionary organization dedicated to building a movement for socialism in the United States.✊🏽

We need you to join us – our futures are on the line!

Liberals co-opt leftist ideas and language and misapply them so that conservatives then get to point out the gaping holes in the liberalized versions of them to discredit the original concepts.

Much like “the game”, every time I think I’m free the thought pops back in my head: I am nothing but a meat tube.

Ironically it will never hit zero though because there won’t be anyone around to set it at that point.

That doomsday clock keeps on ticking ticking ticking

We need to stop wasting our time on elections and pleading with public officials and focus on organizing alternative power structures to prepare for a moment when it’s conceivable to transfer power from the old to the new—fast approaching, by the looks of it, even if it’s difficult to imagine now.

But such legislation will never pass in the first place without such a change in government, economy and media. Revolutionary change is a prerequisite for salvaging a future on this planet. There’s simply no way a capitalist economy can transition away from a highly profitable & entrenched industry.

I’m losing my mind
