this is literally never not accurate
Can someone explain to me like I’m a toddler why the “liberal” Supreme Court justice halted an order mandating that the federal government continue funding SNAP benefits?
All this for my birthday week? 🥹 aw shucks
I would get so much done if I didn’t get distracted by skateboarding videos that make me go: “ugh! Sick!”

If you oppose Trump's threats to destroy Mamdani's tenure as mayor, you should oppose America's historical record of doing the exact same thing to socialist states around the world, and you should always make a point of acknowledging that in any discussion of "the failures of socialism."
Watching the U.S. left debate whether or not to give a chance to ex-Blackwater operative with a nazi tattoo is so embarrassing living abroad. Can the left there try to be serious for once?
To the person who invented scented tissues: why would you do this to me?
The locations of each of the Anti-Colonial Week Lectures have now been announced and updated. Today, someone removed these posters from places I hung them up in my department (I promptly re-hung them), but please feel free to spread the news far and wide.

I’ll be teaching selected chapters from Part 7 and 8 of Capital Vol 1 this week, and realizing that most of the examples I’ll use to explain concepts will come from my one year of working at Starbucks

Trump didn’t make the ceasefire. Resistance of the Palestinians ensured Israel couldn’t ethnically cleanse Gaza. Salute to the Palestinian people.
Continue the struggle to end the genocide, the occupation, and the apartheid state.
Let the Palestinian children thrive!
Viva to Palestine viva.
Sometimes I have to announce to my students that their instructor is, in fact, a dummy

Trump deserves no credit for this ceasefire - even in a backhanded way. He could have stopped the war this entire past year. If you have to thank someone - and there is little to be thankful for given the ruins of Gaza - please thank the global protest movement.
