if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

they can sense that something indeed shifted forever, that the "back to normal" they were sold is not quite right, but they can't see that the period of solidarity and self sacrifice was not the part that snapped the social contract in half, but the abandonment of the vulnerable.

“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level – I mean the wages of decent living.” – President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1933

We are in global ecological freefall and climate catastrophe will only get worse, and worse, and worse. It’s already happened and cannot be averted. Naive “hope” is obscene in the face of this holocaust. I don’t want your feckless hope, I want *action* and revenge on the bastards who did this to us

"Public opinion" is not some uncontrollable natural phenomenon. It's literally just us. Don't let anyone tell you something's impossible because of some fucking poll. Go out and tell everyone you know about candidates and policies you approve of - and the ones you hate. We actually have that power.

So here are some thoughts on this heatwave: against fatalism, against inevitability, and against the fossil fuel industry's ongoing efforts to ensure they do as much damage as they can over the coming decades. These fossil-fuelled extremes emerge from decisions we can identify in recent history

It's now sinking in, the horror of what Elon Musk did over a year ago. I'm glad people are finally noticing, but wouldn't it have been better to notice in the moment when we might have been able to stop it?

get your bitch ass on a plane and I'll take you to meet some of the PEPFAR kids in your own damn home country whose medication you stole, if any of them are still alive

Writing "alleged" and "it calls" does not exonerate you from the error of continuing to print lies in the newspaper instead of writing "Trump administration violates international law again by murdering civilians on the high seas."

The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 211 since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" in early September. n.pr/4elBRR6

The rest of us desperately recycling and doing the little things we can to “save” the environment and then these utter shits, who could actually make a difference, are actively undoing any progress we’ve been making on climate change etc. and we seem to be just letting them.

Trump's DOJ is arguing that Elon Musk’s xAI has the right to run dozens of polluting gas-burning turbines in Mississippi despite not having permits. The reason? National security. The military is reportedly using a version of Grok to attack Iran. See what $300M in election spending gets you?
