Just a leftie in a sea of liberals
The liberal cope is that Biden gets credit for the ceasefire. No.
Trump forced Bibi to accept a deal that has been on the table for months. Biden could have been tougher all along, but was fine with genocide
Trump is a POS, sure, but apparently a marginally smaller one than Biden

The musical version of A Christmas Carol has songs and it’s all about striking fear into the extremely wealthy to make them act right
You can hate on “Baby it’s Cold Outside” all you want but my least favorite is “Rudolf.” It’s about an atypical being rejected by his peers until he is deemed a useful commodity by an authority figure and then lauded.
Fuck you, reindeer.
Fuck you, reindeer.

Every day I’m amazed at the folks who say that Trump would be a dictator and run the country like a CEO with absolute power, but don’t see how this shows the tension between capitalism and democracy
They spend most of their life under dictatorship at work, but they think they live in a democracy

This is how we get laws that favor property rights over human lives, like during the Irish Potato Famine when armed British troops guarded food exports so that starving peasants wouldn’t eat it
In eastern Ireland, good food went to markets for profit while people ate the dead in the western half

It gets crazier: while we use “Dickensian” to describe systems of extreme poverty, wealth inequality is worse today than it was in Charles Dickens’s era.

With 5 days to go until publication date, demand for Refaat Alareer's "If I Must Die" is so strong the publisher is worried they will sell out on publication day.
The best thing to do in that case is PRE-ORDER IT NOW. Those pre-orders will count toward the rankings. Link next:

Imagine dying, going to the gates of heaven, and telling St. Peter that you worshipped Christ, who was a renowned healer and friend of the poor
And yet you spent your life preventing poor people from getting healed

And in the process of seeking profit, they’re taking years off of people’s lives through the denial of services and unnecessary stress
It’s crazy how private healthcare is also a form of anti-healthcare

I don’t want six bananas that will all ripen within two hours of each other
I’d like them to be perfectly ripe on different days, please

Nuclear power is a great stopover as nations should move away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy
…and this is what “the market” wants to do
The only way out of climate change is through centralized planning (and not wasting resources on stupid shit)

Meta, $META, joins Amazon, Google and others in turning to nuclear generation to fuel AI data centers.
It wants to add 1 to 4 gigawatts of nuclear generation capacity starting in the early 2030s, it said in a release. A typical U.S. nuclear plant has a capacity of 1 gigawatt.

BREAKING: The Biden administration is proposing the abolition of the sub-minimum wage for workers with disabilities, per MorePerfectUnion.
Currently, employers can pay workers with disabilities less than $7.25/hr, and bosses report paying as little as 5 cents an hour.
