Felony vandalism charges and bail of $10k to $20k for an art installation aimed at TPUSA.

Anyone heard from Matt Taibbi or Bari Weiss on this one? They’re usually quick to address campus issues.

The arrogance of being the hegemon means you never have to acknowledge the cultures you subjugate; you only need take what you want while stripping it of its context
The closer a person is to the seat of power the fewer languages they speak.
Americans, the British and French speak 1 or 2 languages. Fascists openly push for a monoculture.
Spain (and France) have spent centuries trying to destroy Catalan and Basque.
It is also a bit of a relief because I cannot think of anyone in my family that speaks only one language. Most speak at least 3. My mother and I have used 4 with each other today.
More politically. Speaking one language is one of the greatest privileges empire can offer.

At a certain point we have to accept persistent failure as a strategic feature in service to a pyramid scheme.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

HELL YEAH EAT SHIT BRUCE
LEAD CHANGE: Katie Wilson is now ahead of Mayor Harrell by... 91 votes.

That's out of ≈270K!

Seattle counted roughly 39K ballots today, & they broke in favor of Wilson by 11.4%, erasing the entirety of the incumbent's lead.

How confident are US importers in the holiday shopping season and beyond?

Let’s just say inbound container units are expected to be DOWN 14.4% this month — and 17.9% next month.

liberals and conservatives alike talk about defunding the police and decarceration as if these are extreme, radical, unthinkable ideas— but truly what is more extreme, radical, and unthinkable than what's happening *right now* in our police state.
This week on Reveal: A ‘Goon Squad’ of sheriff’s deputies roamed Rankin County, Mississippi, beating and choking people until they confessed to drug crimes.

Signs of the violence went ignored for years.

A lot of us have known that Democrats were untrustworthy rats for years, but it’s amusing to watch them desperately scramble while they lose even regular D voters.

Hey, if you didn’t want people to hate your guts maybe you should’ve tried not being a party of fascist collaborators!
Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

I get it. I have my own feelings.

University system needs to be subjected to crushing oversight after this. Entire admins canned, stringent rules in place for ensuring faculty governance takes priority, complete dismantling of the current adjunct system, etc.

Because this is what “business leadership” looks like.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Establishment Democrats have always been collaborators. This is all on purpose, it is not an act of cowardice, it is an act of the same collaboration they’ve always done with this fascist party.

I survived a war that destroyed everything, our home, our work, our lives. My children are starving and freezing, and I can’t buy medicine or blankets. The cold and hunger could kill them. Please, don’t let that happen. Your help can save us. 💔🙏

Will Stancil is the dumbest man on this site and it is extremely painful that I have to read any of his trust fund baby ass posts.
genuinely when you're online arguing that the graphs say the economy is good actually, what do you expect people to say? what is the end result you're hoping for? for everyone to stop complaining about their personal starvation, evictions and medical debt because a line is going up somewhere?

The prediction was always that when boomers aged, they would force massive improvements to health care and elder services. Instead, the rich ones access private care, and the rest seem resigned to humiliating decline at the hands of rapacious capitalism.
