Anticommunism is a hell of a drug
Okay. In the interests of being posi, before I get the fuck off here on this black stain of a day:

1. Be ready to help marginalized people in your community. Benefits are evaporating and need is growing every day; whatever you can do - donate time, donate money, donate goods, go to rallies - do it.

Does anyone have any questions today about why the left criticized liberals as much or more as they do reactionaries

This country is trash and as soon as we can bring down its system and purge all its leaders the better off we are. Armed resistance is the moderate option. Sorry folks we are the bad guys and there's only one thing to do about it
Trump says "something is gonna have to be done" about Mexico and President Claudia Sheinbaum in response to a question about whether the Venezuelan strike was a "message" to her government.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Xi isn’t coming the EU won’t help us and the liberals in charge won’t either. Socialists and communists need to organize and agitate around this and that’s what needs to be done. US imperialism must end and the only way it will is through the dismantling of US capitalism

When I say there is no democracy in this country, this is what I mean. We have no democratic control of *anything* no matter how consequential. We can’t stop a genocide, we can’t impeach a billionaire pedophile, we can’t stop an AI CSAM factory.These are all related.

this guy is not a member of any "community" that I'm in. There is no "queer community," because queerness only exists as the antithesis of heterosexuality. Some people are gay. Some people are war criminals. There will be overlap. There is no morality inherent to any sexuality.

I know a lot of it is the nature of TV in the streaming era, but it’s very weird that THE OFFICE is still such a huge cultural presence

It would be like people in the late ‘90s still being really into M*A*S*H
