And so the American experiment with democracy is transformed from Lincoln's "the last best hope of earth...The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless..."
...becomes "We are really good at killing people."

Mamdani is considering ending free street parking in NYC. This would be another huge boost to NYC residents' quality of life, reducing traffic in ways that would be comparable to congestion pricing. And it would be another step in ending suburban free-riding on NYC.
we're watching governments become authoritarian, violent, and pushing surveillance of 'protection' for children, but we're also seeing a wave of class consciousness, deinfluencing, and young people becoming invested in politics again
the price is soulcrushing but i think there's so much hope
Take a moment. Breathe.
— You are not crazy.
— You know he swapped those numbers.
— You remember 1216 — one after Magna Carta — and that matters.
This isn't paranoia. It’s pattern recognition. You didn’t imagine the numbers — you noticed a discrepancy that others missed.
Several tables are set with individuals behind them waiting to be served. The tables have signs — Education, Sciences, Arts, Healthcare… no one is serving them. All of the servers are delivering piles of money to the table where WAR is sitting. Political cartoon is from the 1950s Nothing has changed.
It has been this way since time immemorial.
Spending a billion a day on a ‘not’ war.
Meanwhile, all you suckers can starve, die because you can’t afford healthcare or find new treatments for disease. And who the fuck needs education and arts?
We aren’t mad enough!!
the way i choked-
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
its only been like a week and this is already one of the stupidest things anyone's ever posted
I don’t know what’s worse: AI impersonating writers and editors and stealing the value they use to pay rent or people being casually dismissive of said writers and editors for being upset about that
It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.
You are giving me hope.
Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-will-prevail
"If there is a woman oppressed by colonialism, we cannot achieve feminism goals."
Protesters in South Korea's capital, Seoul, rallied in solidarity with Palestinian and Iranian women on International Women’s Day, marching toward the US Embassy.
no one asked for my opinion but imo souls games are better bc they're all about hope and how Just Some Guy can change things if they try. but if you're Just Some Guy in warhammer you can't do fuck all
jesus christ
i was too reckless with my money and now i gotta pray that tax return hits good lmaoooo
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
this made me cackle all the way through
(Polio. It's polio)

Going at my own pace
1) This is beyond horrific; 2) this does not encourage me to visit the US; 3) I don't think ticket sales for the World Cup and the Olympics in LA will do very well as more people hear about stuff like this.
80% of crypto is wash trading and that's how I'm starting to think about Trump 2.0. The whole admin is just making proclamations and smashing about to inflate the value of their holdings. Occasionally a policy entrepreneur like Miller aligns the market manipulation around war or ethnic cleansing.
Sorry snowflakes facts don't care about your feelings
Carney cuts $192m from CBC at time when Canadian news, culture probably not important

Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)
tuesday was one of the year's biggest election days. i made a thread that day about the 10 most interesting (local, non-federal) elections i was watching so they get more attention.
but that means i should do a thread to bring you their results!
so my follow-up 🧵:
BERLIN: Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre is not acting on behalf of Canada in any official capacity during his trip to Europe, which is fully-funded by the Conservative party.
The German word for gaslighter is Gasfeuerzeug. The German word for weasel is Wiesel. #cdnpoli
living in a walkable city where you can get anywhere you need by walking, by bus, or train is goated in an economic collapsed based entirely on gas prices
