From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.

Anyone who equivocates, capitulates or remains silent in the face of this tyranny can fuck right off.

Much has been made of the cross-class nature of Trump’s strongest support. That the same is true of his strongest opposition is far less discussed.

Excellent piece.

The age of vibes based lifestyle liberalism has to end.

Only 3 things matter with any candidate: track record, policy and who pays them.

On rare occasion there’s an accurate headline about rapid climate warming
and it’s always jarring as hell
and a reminder how much we’re being lied to on a daily basis.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

It’s so easy to point to neoliberal reforms of basic government services that made the vulnerable to the full out attack by the fascists that are happening now. Almost like ceding ground makes you vulnerable.

If you yell at the president, you should get hit with charges that are usually slapped on mafia members, apparently.

They are all ignorant, creepy cultists devoid of an objective reality. The United States will never recover from these irresponsible and grossly incompetent clowns. The damage they will do is unimaginable in scope and impossible to fully extrapolate.

Tyler Robinson will be out of the news by Monday.

Right wing which dominates media and politics and power is already gaslighting their audience and still blaming "the left."

You can't shame shameless people who are committed to an extremist authoritarian project.

He'll never say shit like this ever again and that is awesome. Every Trump supporter is a blight on humanity. Never shy away from rejoicing in their destruction. Don't let them gaslight you. These people are the worst there is.

No moment of silence for Trumpnazis. One bootlicking, servile, sycophantic Trumpnazi killed a different bootlicking, servile, sycophantic Trumpnazi and the world is better for it. Down with Trump and everyone that supports him.
