I feel like I’m going crazy. Saying someone should die isn’t a “threat.” Should you be able to say someone should die? I’m ambivalent. BUT THAT ISN’T WHAT THREATS ARE.
A threat, by definition, requires a statement of intent. We all know this but pretend we don’t because melodrama is fun.

Maybe Trump will be the sacrificial lamb. But then we’ll get JD. This right wing movement isn’t going anywhere until we take down heritage foundation, Fox News, and all of the billionaires.

Walking around DC, I'm realizing my vague respect for the military has been replaced by visceral anger and rejection seeing those uniforms on my streets.
Maybe this is the end of the US's creepy worship of the military and assumption of competence. Cause man those look like collaborators not heros.

I've put it off too long
In three days we won't have money for heating fuel, feed, or groceries. We're basically fucked. I need a goal of $2000 by the end of November, about $500 of that needs to be immediate, and we've never made a goal before.
Please help.

Oh noes… Consumer prices in China are just too low, according to western economists!
It really sucks when big increases in worker productivity result in lower costs for food and essentials instead of all being swallowed up as higher profits and investor returns.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

"Congress should x"
No, Congress should not. Congress, and every other institution of imperial violence, should be abolished. This bullshit cannot be reformed or turned to useful ends. I increasingly just do not know how to respond when people bring up reformism.

AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) is a right wing fascist lobby group that supports WAR CRIMINAL Netanyahu. Any politician that is even partly supported by the group should be thrown out of office. That includes almost all republicans, and even a few democrats.

i think the main thing to take from patton oswalt’s account being suspended is that when bsky fails to do anything about well-known right-wingers saying heinous shit, it’s got nothing to do with their celebrity. that was the last potential fig leaf & i’m glad it’s slipped because i never bought it
