The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

“Don’t use academic language” I’m not an academic. Academic prose is nothing like what I write. This anti-intellectual insistence on oversimplifying everything is what makes everything seem shallow. People long for a “real” that’s been trivialized away from our lives by everything being superficial.

Education is the foe of ignorance. It's no great surprise that a party which thrives on ignorance wishes to abolish the government agency which enforces education standards. They want to make it easier to replace quality education w/their whitewashed version of history & self aggrandizing propaganda

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Fascists need made-up enemies to distract you from what they, and their super-rich funders/bosses, are taking from you. They want you constantly mad, scared and distracted. And they love picking enemies that could help teach you to reason and see through through fascist lies.

It’s a propaganda stunt. Trump initiated tiktok ban. It took 4 years to go through Congress and SC. Biden signed but said he’d leave enforcement to trump. Tiktok CEO meets with trump. Tiktok then removes its own app before ban takes effect… Casting trump as savior. Get it? Now move on.

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

The NY Post’s anti-congestion pricing propaganda war gets more absurd by the day. for context, a delivery truck pays a $21.60 charge amortized across an entire truckload of beer that’s approximately $0.0001 per can and that’s before even factoring in more efficient deliveries due to less traffic
