Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause."
Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

I scribbled this on an application for Cali support

So when your presidential candidates talk about making "the most lethal military in the world," LISTEN TO THEM. They're not bluffing. They're not lying.
They're monsters. And until we acknowledge it's the nature of power, we will never overcome monstrosity.
Who WANTS to rule over millions?

Listening to a discussion about the Mau Mau Rebellion.
We're never, ever going to get society to agree that "Nazis are bad" so long as our leaders do the exact same things the Nazis did, often worse. We've never been consistent on human rights. We must be, or we'll always fall to fascism.

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

It's also fun to look up Operation Paperclip and find Gavin Newsom's daddy's role in it.
After studying Operation Paperclip I began to realize that the Nazi's didn't really lose the war (entirely anyway).

Somehow, it's never the fault of inept Democrats who seem to refuse to mount a real opposition nor implement popular policies. Democrats are not entitled to votes.

The liberal version of "America First" is when they selfishly argue that everyone should have voted for Kamala Harris, despite her material support for genocide, because the lives of people in the US need to be prioritized over stopping the war crimes we're committing around the world.

The new KMFDM album is very sad. There's a couple of okay tracks on it. Sascha and Lucia's daughter's song is good, but doesn't FEEL like KMDFM. It's just a kid relationship song.
It's weird they clearly owned digital synthesizers but still chose to phoned it in.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Has that strategy ever gotten you the candidate you wanted?
And if the answer is yes, what's that candidate's take on the genocide in Gaza?

TBH it's just perfect. It goes through so many issues you might not even be aware of even if you're hardcore ACAB. It clearly explains some structural and institutional ways in a more accessible way than I think I've ever seen.
