Break up the Democratic Party, sell the parts for scrap, beat and harangue its architects and factotums out of public life, and then reform a New Deal rainbow coalition. It's done. It's goddamn done! Bunch of carpetbagging shitstains on our collective shoe.

It took a century of propaganda, rivers of blood and trillions of dollars to make it seem like communism wasn’t popular with working people.

People will go online and post "My partner and I have a generally amazing relationship," and then proceed to describe the most toxic, blatantly abusive bullshit you've ever heard.

One result of this thin fiction's broad acceptance is a former soldier directly, materially complicit in a current genocide demanding that a shitty AI image of a tyrannical madman not wear a hat.

Our collective decision to swallow the propagandizing of "service" as some noble calling which renders real benefits to the people who live in America is a willful self-deception. Soldiers serve empire, capitalism, and tyranny.

Who was served by terrorizing Iraq and Afghanistan? Vietnam? Korea?
Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger.

You didn’t earn the right to wear it.

Stolen valor at its worst.

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own.

Now, we continue fulfilling that promise.

Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

I'm not just being romantic, you literally cannot function as a whole human being without consuming and producing art. You will be extremely fucked up without it. That's why religious groups that ban art are so fucked in the head (you can guess how I know)
think of it like this: we eat cause we need nutrition for our bodies

both producing and consuming art is how we nourish our minds. you can actually see people who don't have art in their life going off the fucking deep end. it's a processing/centering mechanic. it's a meal for the human in you

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.
What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.
