It ought to be blindingly obvious by now, but when social democratic parties adopt rw policies they don't beat the right, they strengthen them. This failure has been going n in Europe for decades, hence the rise of the right.

(government minister reading a report on the thousandth clinical drug trial of a pill that eliminates poverty, with a 100% success rate, that generates 10 times the value it costs to produce & makes government ministers public heroes) I don't understand, so the poor are made to suffer how, exactly?
There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Civilised. *I* want to see him noisily shit himself to death during a live press conference.
I want him so hobbled by the Epstein files that he resigns in disgrace. Then off to prison for corruption.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

You'll see voters who don't want to see another anti-rights, anti-marginalised groups party in power, vote for someone else, someone who won't spend their entire time punching down. Nobody "owes" Labour their vote, and it isn't people not supporting them who are the issue. 4/

The recent emails released by Epstein’s estate should have been impeachment worthy for President Trump, but America is controlled by the rich and powerful who have been fucking children for decades without consequence. Shame.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I have never seen a group of people so cemented in believing they must be "the good guys." They wield it like a fucking weapon, but only to defend their own comfort and reality.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

i hate repeating myself but it's worth noting that the reactionary right doesn't actually value hotness in women. what they value is submission to male power, regardless of how it looks. this is why they are all-in on grotesque plastic surgeries

It's important to note, as I have multiple times, that it's possible to be Jewish - as I am - and still condemn Israel for genocidal acts. In fact, the history of Judaism makes it clear Jews are obligated to speak out. Never again *means* never again. #zachor
Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon
