I heard my wife on Discord talking about ICE when she posed the rhetorical question: "These people just don't care, do they?" Yes, they do, dear. They care *very much* about what they are doing. When you see these "police" doing terrible things, you can assume it's intentional. Evil exists.

In fairness, the Republicans have been warning us for *decades* that the government wanted to take away our firearms, that as soon as they thought that they could get away with it Washington would outlaw guns and the Second Amendment wouldn't stop them.

One of the most frustrating parts of this is how incompetent the Democratic leadership has been & god for bid you call them out, people here & on other platforms will accuse you of helping trump by fighting with the Dems, but I'm not fighting with Democrats, I'm fighting for them to fight for us!

So I stood at the bathroom mirror, made the double finger guns, and said to my reflection: "2026 is gonna be your year". That handsome rascal clasped his hands together, tilted his head to the side, and said: "Oh... oh, sweetie...No."

Yes, please. Standard time year round. In June and July it doesn't get good and dark here until nearly 10pm. It's ridiculous.

Religion is a mental health issue. Ancient elite created religion as psychological warfare to better control & manipulate the masses with. Today, it is still used for that. We CAN and MUST defuse it through education. #Download 22 Unique Traits Of Religious People www.academia.edu/98605644/Uni...

Funny how the phrase "take me to your leader" conveys precisely the same meaning but vastly different connotations to the phrase "I demand to speak to the manager"

Stop the "trump did this" narrative, trump is a blunt instrument not a mastermind. What we’re seeing now, the gutting of rights & authoritarian policies is what Heritage Foundation, Federalist judges & dark money have been pushing since Reagan. trump is not smart enough, know thy enemy.

#MarxistMonday
A vintage-style protest poster with a textured beige background and bold red and black lettering. The red text reads: “CAPITALISM WILL NEVER FALL ON ITS OWN. IT WILL HAVE TO BE PUSHED. THE ACCUMULATION OF CAPITAL WILL NEVER CEASE. IT WILL HAVE TO BE STOPPED. THE CAPITALIST CLASS WILL NEVER WILLINGLY SURRENDER ITS POWER. IT WILL HAVE TO BE DISPOSSESSED.” Beneath, in black, it says: “DAVID HARVEY” followed by “#MARXISTMONDAY @anticapitalistmusings.” The design uses a 1968 protest aesthetic with a bold, agitprop feel.

The sooner good Americans realize that Democrats are just centrist Republicans, the quicker you get to a place that helps everyone and returns democracy.

every capitalist country that has lower average physical quality of life than Cuba without being embargoed by the country that is involved in most global finance and has dollar hegemony is proof capitalism fails compared to socialism

Rep. Khanna: "In America you cannot arrest your political opponents!" Pardon me, sir, but YES YOU CAN. It happened TODAY. Very tired of hearing "They can't DO that!" when people mean "They are not supposed to do that". Those two statements mean completely different things.

Can we collectively stop talking about whether Trump, Musk, & Co. have the *right* or the *authority* to do what they're doing? The courts will sort that out. They can *force* all of this as long as nobody is going to stop them. We have given the enemy time to prepare. (1/3)

Ooh, I know the difference! Only one is actively trying to destroy Amer- No, that's not it. Hostile fear of progress? No, that's both. Demonization of education? They both do that, too. They're both xenophobes... Ah! Only one group pretends to follow Jesus! Nailed it. Pun intended.

Would it be a Way-Out Conspiracy Theory to assert that Musk's people could be checking your SSN against your voting record to determine if they will pay your Social Security or other federal government support?

This isn't entirely accurate. Yes, the overlap of right wingers and hypercapitalists in the US is very nearly total. Centrists here are still capitalists, but would be satisfied with a tightly managed capitalist economy like Denmark/Norway, with strong unions and a generous social safety net.
Capitalism is right wing.  There is no pro-capitalist left.

This is the most important message you will hear during this crisis. I urge you to share it with everyone you know, here and on other media. Copy the link and share via email. Trump is already consolidating power in authoritarian ways unheard of in our history. We must stand together and stop him!

I really would love to be able to give up GPT-4 and LLaMA2 in favor of DeepSeek. Unfortunately, I've never had a reason to use any of them, and don't ever expect to. It's the same problem I have when someone asks me to boycott Burger King or some shit. Dude, I've been boycotting BK for 53 years.

Yes, liberals, this is how people like me on the left actually see you. This is why we don't vote like you expect we should. This is why we call you 'the center'. The liberal hasn't actively done anything to cause direct harm, but has nevertheless made the situation worse.

Reminder that the Democratic *establishment* are not on your side any more than the Republicans. They already have wealth and power. Progressivism, working-class solidarity, Bernie, AOC, they all threaten that power. 45 men have been president. They represent 7 political parties. Time for #8.

"Elon Can't be a Nazi! He went with Shapiro to...blah blah blah" Remember how the Holocaust had nearly as many non-Jewish victims as Jewish ones? It's all nationalism and fear and hatred of 'the other'. And if you're here on Bsky, the new US leadership almost certainly considers you 'other'.

A young supervisor at my work was musing about the number of people who just forget to clock in or out on any given day. It was just gentle grumbling about how it was something we do every day, but so many people forget somehow. Seems that time clock adjustments are not a trivial task. (1/4)

I'm surprised when the Reps do something rational or the Dems do something useful, but nobody ever asks. People only ask 'Are you surprised' when something ridiculous happens. The answer is 'Meh. Par for the course.'

How long does it take to throw together a pay-per-view deal? Could they realistically announce one tomorrow morning? It would be completely on-brand for 34.
