effervescent empathy🏳️‍🌈stochastic solipsism🏴Free Palestine leftoid

Centrist Dems are honestly hoping that not a single Palestinian is still alive in 2028 so they can run without having to answer these questions

Speaking as a DC resident: statehood now. It is absurd that Trump can do this in our city.

That's the same guy who made up the perfidy libel...

If you follow bsky.app/profile/alon... aka Alon Levy for transit policy you should know that they are a genocide denier and Zionist who literally just spread libel about a murdered Palestinian journalist

Honestly I think it's not a great thing that so much of American social life is segregated by age group

Bullet the Blue Sky was about weird looking clouds

US effectively moving to a system where tax policy is set by the executive branch, fully adhoc, unpredictable, and bespoke per company, and based in large part on the presidents' personal relationships with the company's leadership

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

The Israeli military has murdered the entire Aljazeera Arabic team. They bombed their tent outside a hospital.

THIS CANNOT GO ON.

Funding both parties. Controlled opposition keeps the fascism growing or status quo but never shrinking.

Sex is getting scrubbed from the internet, but a billionaire can sell you AI nudes Grok’s nonconsensual deepfakes show how hollow the online safety push can be.

"In the new ... internet, girls can’t learn about periods on Reddit and artists can’t sell smutty games on Itch.io, but a military contractor will make you nonconsensual deepfakes of Taylor Swift taking her top off for $30 a month." — @thedextriarchy.bsky.social www.theverge.com/internet-cen...

No actually. People should see these pictures.

No fucking cops or corpos at pride. Ever.

I hate how not only do the rich want all the money they also want us to think they are uniquely smart

The United States inherited that status, after the war. Along with something like forty percent of the world's wealth, and almost a third of its GDP.

That's what gave us the economic and cultural dominance that we've enjoyed until now. It's what first the USSR and then China sought to challenge.

Genuinely, Germany was *THE PLACE* science was done. If you wanted to study Physics, or Psychology, or Medicine, you learned German.

And then.

Buttigieg won’t ever win because people can smell that he’s a triangulating phony. Even that beard feels focus grouped.

They're pivoting to focusing on the island. They're the only ones talking about it in regards to Trump.

They say it enough and maga will believe he's innocent purely because he didn't go to the island. As if it's the only place on earth to harm kids.

a funnier counterpoint to this is that virtually every restaurant in america is child-free after around 7PM or 8PM, if you're regularly encountering children when you go out to dinner, it's because you're eating on a retiree's schedule.

The incentive for treating employees well is so we don’t return to antique labor organizing methods.

Trump administration is evading court orders blocking its agenda

Just wondering how one "evades" a court order, because I'm pretty sure that's just called "violating" it

Y’all were too busy denying that Biden was funding a genocide to actually consider that people would be repulsed by you all after it was all said and done. You will not be able to rewrite history and make us forget what we saw then, just like Trump will never be able to wash the blood off his hands!

Thank goodness we’ve got our finest minds working on important questions like how can we make cops dumber?

Pritzker and even Hochul are out there throwing punches while these idiots are only hurting their own aspirations

-He can punish them regardless of how low his approval numbers are
-There's no cost to caving; Democrats won't punish them for it later
-There's no higher authority to appeal to. Congress and courts are gone

The famous cry of leftists everywhere: expropriating billionaire wealth to make interest payments on the national debt.

Trotsky's Hitler particles quote from what is national socialism...

I love that despite how much it seems like it's perfect posting syntax "Hitler particles" actually comes from Trotsky.

i didn't get into it in my essay on this speech, but beyond the basic incoherence of vance's assorted grievances, i'm struck by how ungrateful *he* is, a man who owes his fame and fortune to the open, cosmopolitan society he is trying to destroy for the sake of power

The consolation is that as much as he would like this to be a mass movement, it is not. He is not popular, they are not popular, they are the beneficiaries of a constitutional order that enables unpopular people to gain and hold power. That isn’t much, but it’s not nothing.

Every Western society has demographic problems. There is something about Western liberalism that is socially suicidal or parasitic—that tends to feed off of a healthy host until there's nothing left.

Just read this. This is where we are.

This person is a fascist. This shouldn’t be news, but it is convenient to have it all in one place. The hatred is coming from him, and it’s the stuff that underwrites reactionary violence against people whom he does not see as people but enemies to be subjugated and if necessary eliminated.
