Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

The guiding principle of ruling elites was--and still is: When change threatens to rule, then the rules are changed.

It is somewhat ironic to credit capitalism with the genius of gradual reform when most reforms through history have been vehemently and sometimes violently resisted by the capitalist class and were won only after prolonged and bitter contest.

The Third World is not poor. You don't go to poor countries to make money. There are very few poor countries in this world. Most countries are rich! The Philippines are rich! Brazil is rich! Mexico is rich! Chile is rich! Only the people are poor.

One does not have to be a Marxist to know there is something very wrong in this society.

I have followed every World Cup since Italia 90. I’ll not be following this one…except to check if the stadiums at the American venues are relatively empty.

The fascist regime running the U.S. government declared war on the American people on Jan. 20, 2025 and it's not going to stop just because Tim Walz says "please."

The phrase “Amid immigration crackdown” should be killed. That’s obviously not what this is.

I only found out a few years back, this was penned as an anti Thatcher song, and could easily apply to the Mental Tangerine now:

Something nasty in your garden's waiting
Patiently, till it can have your heart

I’m agnostic, not atheist, for a good reason. Because I want to live in hope right wing bigots and crusaders find out on judgement day, there is indeed a divine creator, but it’s genderqueer, pansexual. And will greet them at the pearly gates with the words: ‘Surprise, motherf***ers!’

Reform have clearly given up even pretending they’re not
the Conservative party 2.0 now. Even the roundabout painters, should now have just enough of an IQ to figure this one out. Or maybe not…
