The philosophers have always known.

And the rulers have always sought to undermine the philosophers, mocking their insight and questioning their expertise. The rulers believe The Profit will only come if the people remain in the cave. 💸

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

BREAKING: MAGA is moving the goalposts on the definition of p3d0philia.

Release the Epstein files NOW! And start the damn prosecutions! 🚔

Boycott #Starbucks! Don’t cross the picket line! 👊🏻

#vt #vermont
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

ICYMI: I’ve got 4️⃣ years! In lieu of flowers, please comment on the OP , “hell yeah,” of “nice!”

Thanks for helping my resolve! 🙌🏻
4 Years. 4️⃣ Today marks four years since I stopped drinking alcohol.

I knew today was my Dry Anniversary, but I couldn’t remember exactly how long it had been - I had to look it up. And I take that as a good sign. 🧵👇🏻

Release the Epstein files.

Cover the corruption!

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

I have an idea: what if health insurance companies didn’t exist and the government did that work instead, regulating healthcare costs and covering most of it with taxes paid by citizens, including the rich?

listen, we've all had a lot of fun today learning that we truly are ruled by a pedophiliac cabal that permeates every level of big business and government, but also let's not take our eye off the fact that the senate Dems completely betrayed their base and must be primaried until they're all gone

at some point 2 things are gonna happen:
1) tv manufacturers will team up with streaming services to find a way to put ads on our tv screens when they’re “off”
2) we will complain to each other but then resign to it rather quickly

when I say I get my news from social media, I don’t mean clicking on articles shared by friends. I mean that by consuming hundreds of memes a day, I can tell when something happened that I wasn’t aware of and should probably look up.

💯 Baristas are highly skilled workers!

Stand with @sbworkersunited.org when they strike and don’t cross that picket line! 👊🏻☕️

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

democrat approval ratings are plummeting.

republican approval ratings are tanking.

what could we possibly do instead…? 🤔
November 11, 2025 at 1:35 PM
ok, I may be stoned, but the simple fact that you can have an ear worm song stuck in your head should be enough proof that you simply do not have as much control over your own mind and body as you’d like to think you do.

wait… so now the shutdown was a “hoax?” by [checks notes] the dems?

Agreed - I’d rather try and fail, than roll over and fail!
