If you are one of the people with more advanced class consciousness in the United States and suddenly the masses are supporting social democrats- you know what you need to do? Push people further than that, agitate. Not mindlessly glaze those people. Come on. Grab the lib by the shoulders and push!

The combination of unique politics, climate change, and bad luck have brought a true drought emergency to Tehran.

"Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Tehran’s residents would have to ration water—and eventually evacuate the capital—if there was no rain by late November."
Prolonged water cuts across Tehran have created widespread panic among the Iranian capital’s 10 million residents.

The notion that ending USAID has killed 600,000 is questionable
Elon Musk Is repsonsible for the deaths of 600,000 human beings and yet is being rewarded by capitalists with 1000 billion dollars

Funnily enough, this is the contradiction of democratic socialism. Within our current juridical framework you actually can’t abolish private property. You don’t have to worry about it cause it’s impossible without revolution
Kelly Loeffler: "This is gonna be a crisis in the city of New York, to have a communist in there talking about seizing the means of production ... this is the face of Democrat Party now, and you saw that with everyone coming and bowing to him."

No one died in blockaded socialist Cuba during Hurricane Melissa, one of the worst storms ever to hit the country.

At least two people died in the world's richest city, in the world's richest country, during a Nor'easter.
I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Two men, one in Central Brooklyn and another in Upper Manhattan, were found dead in flooded areas after intense rain arrived late on Thursday.

New research on 42 countries around the world shows that in most cases people generally do not believe the system they live under is fair. With one exception: China.

I wrote a summary of this study and its methodology on Substack, which I'm posting in the reply.
