An uneducated populous is easier to control. They can't think critically and are easily gaslit. This is why fascists always attack education.
every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

it's wild to me that we have a letter from 850+ rabbis denouncing zohran mamdani for things he never said and positions he never took while no such letter has been written condemning stephen miller for claiming to "defend jewish values" while being an utter fucking nazi and dismantling our democracy
it’s funny how the attacks levied last night against zohran mamdani by andrew cuomo more accurately describe stephen miller — totally inexperienced, deeply ideological, surrounded by antisemites, speaks like he’s talking exclusively to the internet, will bring about a policy nightmare, etc.
this is the problem with letting men like this get away with saying shit on tv instead of real life. i dare this man to say this shit out loud in any bar on the north shore

Very important speech by Mamdani on Islamophobia— starts about 27 minutes in.
This will get chopped up and reported on in bad faith (if at all) by fools and trolls, so it’s worth watching in full to hear him in his own words. A historic first for NYC. His tone is righteous and firm.

The rage of the MAGA faithful over the last 30-odd years is so overpowering that their civic instincts have been buried by Trump's antagonism. They once knew, or a part of them knows, that no actual leader should be calling human beings “vermin.”
But that empathic impulse isn’t much match for rage.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

It takes 30 days to grow a radish. Also 2/3 of the country is already in or entering winter.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer
