I, for one, strongly endorse and support the elimination of all drone programs & units from the us military.

It’s really impressive that anyone could watch the wars in Ukraine and Iran and determine that we… don’t need drone battalions. What are we even doing here?

Non-trivial chance Natalie Harp ends up leading a syncretistic apocalyptic cult centered around the belief that Donald Trump did not die in that accident but was in fact divinely occulted and will return in 2045 but in the meantime she receives a mystical communique from him every January 6th

The whole world will be Little St James and we're arguing on bluesky about how long it's gonna take

we know how this’ll end

they really love comparing trump to Christ.

What in the country fried fuck does this even mean 🤷

i oppose a lot of banal or evil things (conservatism, data centers, the MCU) for apocalyptic and eschatological reasons so i am like a tree planted by the water.

For a liberalism that is anti-progress, anti-reaction, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, and which promises a mediocre life for all people, no exceptions

Me getting annoyed at your religon posts, but also im a universalist: Youre going to be so owned when you get to heaven fucking idiot

its why the DNC superfans do it! theyre just as powerless as you are. by telling you "im to the left of che guevara, BUT, 'defund the police' will NOT play in peoria! be smarter!" they feel like they are taking control of the situation. team leaders eagerly aping the regional managers

Fantastic work, Chi and AOC. You’re both perfect for the Democrat Party [derogatory]

One of the other failures of the so-called left pathologizing “woke 1.0” is that it props the door wide open for far right shitheels like Ben Garrison to do crybaby identity reductionism while ignoring the myriad systemic social, economic, political issues that desperately need addressing.

this is so funny.

jaspermaxxing@hoovybaby.bsky.social · 2d ago

this is so funny. of course you believe this—regular people aren’t buying your bullshit!

I think I’m coming more firmly to the conclusion that the small-dollar revolution in political donations has been very bad Not only does it incentivize scamming vulnerable donors, but many of the most ardent small-dollar donors are also the most ideologically extreme. This is especially true for Rs

average elite liberal passionately believes a conservative has high minded principles while dismissing any and all socialists as devious liars and childish spoilers

"The team found that the greater the proportion of enslaved people in a county in 1860, the bigger the mortality gap between Black & white people in the 2010s, even after controlling for common factors tied to health inequalities, such as rurality or pop. density" www.science.org/content/arti...

Slavery linked to mortality gap between Black and white Americans today

why are we calling it Liberal Currents and not Junior Varsity Atlantic Magazine?

the united states has murdered, robbed, and raped millions in its near three centuries of existence but because of your sentimentality about the myth of america you can excuse those crimes.

All the Fidel fluffing by DSA is egregious. You don't ever gotta hand it to dictators. Also, Rubio is not trying to destroy the Cuban people *as a people.* Not every war crime is a genocide. But the actual meat and potatoes of this DSA statement seems on target? www.dsausa.org/statements/d...

*huffing gas while reading Liberal Currents* y-y-yes we must renounce Exremistism-ism

2028 “whooo weee yeah ‘river to the sea’ was a little much. better to be pragmatic and ally with the moderate zionists and liberal israelis. woke 2 was crazzzzyyyy”

all you really need to see are The Adventures of Mark Twain, Salo, & Come and See to get the background.

i’ve been writing a lot about the 60s lately. i’m thinking, for no reason in particular, about a news story from mississippi in 1963 about a black man whose death was ruled a suicide after he, allegedly, ran full speed into a parked police car so hard that he broke the windshield.

if you're sad about amazing destructively scanning books, wait until you hear about this librarianswithpalestine.org/gaza-report-...

Was listening to Plan de Contingencia and found out the US forces in Puerto Rico are conducting military exercises on Mona Island - a nature reserve called "the Galápagos of the Caribbean" Fucked up that PR's only use seems to be "future Superfund site"

A few years ago, we couldn't imagine Monsanto-hating moms joining Trump’s coalition. But MAHA happened. @astra.bsky.social and I see something similar happening today with animal rights — which, if the left doesn’t wake up, could be very bad for all of us. newrepublic.com/article/2137...

And how we can steal it back.

this is in the uk but could be anywhere. the real insidiousness is that if there was 30% it would be taken as evidence that this is devious DEI policies but if you point out the numbers are usually far less that’s taken as “evidence” of the inferiority of Black people or other poc.

Paddy O'Connell, asked on the programme to estimate what % of professors at Cambridge are black, estimated it at 30%. Seriously, 30%.
