You know who wasn’t surprised that Chomsky was bad? Literally everyone who cared that he denied the genocide in Bosnia. It speaks quite poorly of class politics first people to have not listed to us then.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."
An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

Hold fast, stay tight. We can win.

yup saw that 😂
