Ta-Nehisi Coates saying “Wow that was really racist” on MSNBC

the solutions are obvious, the problem is democrats are not failing, they are incredibly successful at their job: keeping republicans in power

screenshot of text from article: Asked to respond to some of the allegations in the accounts, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said the U.S. had deported “nearly 300 Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists” to CECOT, “where they no longer pose a threat to the American people.” “Once again the media is falling all over themselves to defend criminal illegal gang members,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “We hear far too much about gang members and criminals’ false sob stories and not enough about their victims.” The three men denied any gang affiliations. Neither the U.S. nor El Salvador has provided evidence that they are gang members.

the construction of criminality and race (ie the criminalization of non-white bodies) is one of the most constant and defining features of america

“I asked chatgpt” “I asked grok”. Ok. I had a mother who loved me and made sure I could read.

the sad irony is that leftists do have solutions for most legitimate modern grievances, but implementing them requires solidarity

I see no difference

I don’t think the second group exists. But another group did exist and said “democrats are not doing enough to distinguish themselves from republicans and they are going to lose”

the liberal impulse to punch left when the right does something evil has done much more to get us where we are than the straw man you’re mad it

same but that's bc they've been born to live through the most devastating mass extinction event in geological history not bc of whatever this is

celebrating mother's day with your mom

Great demonstration of how liberalism is less a political ideology and more a delusional pathology that allows its adherents to feel smug and self-righteous under any circumstances, like enabling a genocide then handing the keys over to fascists ahead of runaway climate collapse.

that’s beautiful

everything started going wrong when they went from calling it vibrate mode to haptics

curtains for zoosha ass post

i used to say capitalism is a system of labor control but you're right capitalism is a system of necropolitics feels much more correct

marx correctly understood capitalist democracy is a temporary, tenuous compromise won thru sacrifice/struggle, under constant renegotiation. he explains how this class struggle btwn two opposing forces (capital vs workers) w/ two opposing goals (fascism vs communism) is the primary engine of history

to me it's this is kind of dangerously misinformed thinking that got us here. marxism is esp now suppressed in this country precisely bc of its usefulness

marxism, ie dialectical materialism, is entirely sufficient to understand what's happening, how we got here, our heading, how we might change it

there’s already gonna be smoke!

ngl it’s really pushed me to the next level

not even slightly religious but i would crush a conclave. the outfits. the furtive glances. smiting my enemies and rewarding the faithful. i’d introduce rank choiced voting. i’d rebuke the devil and heed god. i’d shift focus from cardinal tremblay to sister agnes and end with a big musical number..

has anyone tried unplugging the pope and plugging him back in?

[getting raptured] you know it’d be faster if we took the 101

[during sex] sorry, but is it supposed to taste like this

listening to joanna newsom at the gym cause i got that dawg in me

your most unhinged pontifications are canon to me <3

thinking about FDRs new deal like other men think about ancient rome or outdoor grilling

The accepted view is that if Stalin didn’t make that truce, Russia would have been immediately invaded and defeated which is what the western powers (who hated communism more than fascism) wanted. It’s also accepted that wo the USSR, which sacrificed v much, the nazis never would have been defeated.

Fascism is anti-communism by another name. Clara Zetkin called it a punishment for the working class attempting communism. It may have been temporarily defeated but it did its job. WWI stopped the spread of the Russian Revolution as intended. WWII left the soviet union so crippled it never recovered
