I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic
And what's more leftist than that

It is easy to watch this stuff and conclude that we need to rid ourselves of Government by Alcoholic Podcasters but harder to take the next step: realizing that we need to rid ourselves of the system that led to Government by Alcoholic Podcasters.

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.
At least 46 people have been killed in the attacks.

the very pathetic truth is that all the fuckers writing 'harris lost by running on the left' op-eds would, if she had ran the exact same campaign but won, be writing 'harris won by rejecting the left' op-eds instead. they're not honest people

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Very bad that mainstream media keeps accepting the premise the Trump admin is “cracking down on antisemitism”. Everyone knows none of this has anything to do with “antisemitism” it has to do with snuffing out any dissent over Israel’s genocide in Gaza and purging brown people from society
On campuses nationwide, many students are saying that the Trump administration's efforts to crack down on antisemitism have caused a chilling effect on speech and political activity. By @elenamoore.bsky.social
For some students who protested war in Gaza, fear and silence is a new campus reality

The good news is that I’ve convinced Gavin Newsom to change his podcast into a comedy podcast about bad movies, but the bad news is that he picked some movie called Come and See and he’s reviewing it with Ann Coulter and they’re both just laughing

i was asked why the democrats are so set on losing strategies, & sadly they are not, they are winning. they are one of two parties of capital, funded by the same rich donor class. as long as their class interests aren't threatened they only care about elections in terms of personal career ambitions
