Believe me, I look forward to no longer sharing these posts after Tuesday (=start of 2025). But until then, it comes with territory of having structured Bolts as a nonprofit.

We knew it'd mean turning to our readers to ask them to support our work if they value it. Now it's your turn!

Weird, you mean the 40-60% rise in food prices we've seen in the last 4 years wasn't based on reality or supply chain issues, but rather on pure corporate greed just like everyone already knew? Thank God the government is here to do absolutely Fuck All about it except confirm what we knew already!

Do people understand that snipers know exactly who they’re shooting? They are picking off children with headshots in front of their parents for sport, for the sheer cruelty of it, and because children are the future of Palestine. A fascist army, a colonizer’s hatred. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

1) It's a fucking primary.
2) She didn't have to ask me (NC - swing swing). I will not vote for the Duopoly in the general. So, I guess there is that... I do not support displacement/ethnic cleansing/ genocide or the support/arming/funding of such.
This is beyond criticism, she asking people not to vote for Biden. Biden will be our candidate. If our people don't vote because they don't want Biden, then Trump will win. Going against our candidate is the stupidity that pissed intelligent people off since our democracy is at stake.
