Democrats had 80 years to deliver on this, yet they haven’t. To me, that is colossal failure.

Newsom is another pro-oligarch empty suit. He inspires no one but bloodless upper middle class centrists, a tiny fraction of the electorate. He will never be president. If he's the Democrat's candidate in 2028 he's going to lose

The number of Michael Parenti books now on Libby has exploded recently. Many of the new audiobooks were produced in the last year or two. You can definitely tell people are reading and learning. 👀
PS - Get a @lapubliclibrary.bsky.social library card and get at it!

MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis
Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed.
"One of ours, all of yours."

Trump met with oil executives from Chevron, Exxon, Conoco, Marathon, Shell, and more to discuss investments in Venezuela.
Trump's Venezuela invasion was never about freedom, democracy or drugs.
It's always been about the oil.

The fall of communism was a tragedy for the international workers' movement, and we are living in the exploited, war-torn reality of that broken imperialist world. (Goes back to re-read "Blackshirts and Reds" by Michael Parenti.)
And to think we cheered at the fall of communism in Russia.
Putin and his oligarch buddies stole every public asset they had.

Whirlpool dishwasher broke one month after warranty ended. They want to charge me $344 to fix it (originally paid $399 for it LOL) or I have to buy a $32/month plan to protect it. Appliances now have monthly subscription fees because they're so shitty. #LateStageCapitalism #PlannedObsolescence

The suburbs can be deeply isolating. Life becomes a cycle of moving between your car, home, and hurried takeout pickups. It’s a pattern on repeat that does very little to foster human connection or collectivism. I miss the walkable streets and reliable public transit of city life. :/

It literally does not matter (at all) what you think about Maduro or socialism— you don’t “liberate” innocent civilians by dropping bombs. You don’t steal their president. You don’t blatantly flaunt that you want to steal their natural resources. #Venezuela
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

PS - Get your flu shot.
The *same* CDC reporting that seasonal flu infections are at their highest levels in a QUARTER CENTURY just ended universal flu vaccine recommendations.
This is a reckless and misguided move that will endanger public health.
