The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

Will anything stop this drift toward permanent minority rule and constitutional contempt? That depends entirely on whether enough of us decide that democracy isn’t just a vibe,

Instead of saying "I'm hungover" or "all the spicy peppers I ate last night are shredding my asshole apart" say this: "the sins of my past.... are catching up with me." Sounds way more ominous and badass

The sweep by democratic socialist David Morales and other progressive primary candidates in Providence is a testament to years of organizing and coalition-building in the Ocean State.

Saw a young couple at the coffee shop this afternoon. The guy was consoling his girlfriend and said, “I’m sorry you’re disappointed,” with an arm around her shoulder. Then he said, “Come on, let’s go eat a cookie.” Honey, that’s a real man.

That’s true, but I think most people forget that American imperial propaganda is not a matter of who can read and who cannot; it’s a matter of who’s susceptible and who is not. In a deeply economically unequal society, many many people are vulnerable to lies, even those who are well educated

The detention system in the United States has grown faster than anyone planned for it. Since January 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, has driven its capacity up at a pace that basic order could not keep up with.

Favourite Socrates story. He was so annoying in the sentencing phase of his trial that jurors who voted not guilty, voted to give him the death penalty. It takes skill to get people who think you’re innocent to go fuck that guy, death sentence

Reading about Socrates, apparently he was horrific to look at and was still having kids in his 60s. Unbelievable game. Imagine you're at the bar and a man who looks like a beluga whale hits you with "The only thing I know is I know nothing" and you're just powerless to resist

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Something i also struggle to understand with respect to patriarchy: knowing whether an unbroken family unit is the key to liberation or the source of collective suffering. I say this because not only is patriarchy rule by fathers, it’s also (more importantly?) ascension of a fatherly line

an extremely important thing to remember about Patriarchy is that it's not just rule by men, it's rule by *fathers*. By necessity, it creates a massive surplus of extraneous "secondary" males that have to be accounted for in some way:

In term 1, Trump took a strong economy he inherited from Obama, threw in some tax cuts, didn’t mess with it much, & took credit for it. In term 2, Trump decided that he wanted to completely reshape the economy according to his own dumbass beliefs and now we’re Trump University.
