but not "hoarding" when billionaires and tech companies suck up all the money and burn though the planet in search of endless growth

One of my best friends was raised JW, and I asked him the other day if they believed in the devil, since they don’t believe in Hell. He said “Very much so.”
And all I could think was, “But where does he LIVE?”

More Black women are evicted every year than Black men are incarcerated. For profit prisons are one of the leading funders of lobbying against tenants' rights ordinances and for strict no-fault eviction laws. The reason is simple: eviction feeds the carceral state.

"Centrists" will explicitly support genocide, let 68K people die annually from a lack of healthcare, slash the social safety net, rehabilitate Dick Cheney, and create a militarized police state, then tell you that you're being a reactionary for saying that what they're doing is unacceptable.

One of the biggest categorical errors made by Americans of all stripes is believing that de jure annexation of the oPt, specifically the occupied West Bank, is more meaningful than de facto annexation which happens daily and has been happening daily. People inflate the import of symbolism.

Maybe when we stop acting like the Democrats and the Republicans are two different parties we can start dismantling this shit
Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance.
And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists.
Pathetic.
