There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

The first thing ICE did when it was created was raiding meat processing plants in the Midwest and south to help quell labor disputes over safety violations and keep those who weren't detained from getting legal protections as many had kids who grew up locally and were citizens with political power.

A programmer relying on the plagiarism machine is someone who's not, at all, thinking about how to make maintainable code. They're not thinking of what happens 6 months later when someone needs to change it.
You can tell, because they didn't bother writing it in the first place.

Fact | You can't write something predicated in the utterly ludicrous assumption that white men are being excluded from publishing unless you are racist.

As Hannah Arendt put it: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." Undermining that distinction will be a lasting legacy of generative AI.

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

“New York City’s syndromic surveillance system, which collects information about every patient who visits an emergency room, reported 9,857 visits for “influenza-like illness” last week. That was higher than in the worst weeks of the 2017-18 or 2024-25 flu seasons, both ranked as “high severity”

These psychos care immensely about online chatter about them, even though they pretend they don’t care. Musk sued Media Matters, Thiel sued Gawker. They care desperately and we on the left don’t invest enough time, energy and money in pushing out good, accurate, embarrassing intel.
We need to otherize weird right wing billionaires like the smear campaigns they fund against minorities do. Musk leads a baby breeding cult and Thiel wants to suck up the blood of young people. They’re fucking weird and more people need to know.

im already foreseeing a scenario where dems do their usual thing and try to mealy-mouth their way around not abolishing ice, and those of us who call for the agency's end are derided as absolutists pushing "purity." my response is: fuck that. we keep giving up the line. hold the line.
Democrats should start explaining what they will do to ICE if they win in 2026 right now. Show these videos. Help people understand that ICE is not law enforcement.
If you are active on this site, you probably know how bad ICE is, but not everyone does.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

“Nothing billionaires do is nonprofit” is an incredibly important thing to remember. Relatedly, @hilaryagro.com calling philanthropy “guillotine insurance” has really stuck in my brain.
Of course it would. Capitalized medicine is just dressed up extortion. “Pay this absurd amount of money or we’ll let you die.”
Nothing billionaires do is nonprofit, no matter what they say. Even their donations ultimately work in their financial favor. That’s how they stay billionaires.

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

wish they would just say UBI and universal healthcare “won’t work” bc keeping people sick and stressed and scared is the only thing allowing me personally to rob them blind
I wish they would just come out and say "it won't work because if people don't have that sword hanging over their head they won't feel as compelled to accept shitty pay, and also I want to make money off of it" because those are the actual reasons

Jewish law, btw, doesn’t demand that you love your enemy, because that is cruelty to you. But it does demand that you help them get their fallen ox or donkey upright and pick up the dropped load.

Which is, to be clear, Jewish law’s requirements for how to treat the stranger.
Not because they might be a god in disguise, but because *that is the basic requirement for a fellow human being in need.”

This is "I know that Jesus is a magic demigod, and the important thing is to show God the respect that he deserves", but actually the story of the Nativity is, "I don't know who this stranger is, but I can see they need help, and I'm going to be compassionate whether he deserves it or not."
