Hey so if capitalism means we need to have constant gains for shareholders then that means private prison companies like GEO Group have to have profits go up even as crime goes down. Ergo, immigration sweeps, new categories of crime to feed the machine.
Idk guys seems like a bad system
everyone’s saying “people are NIMBYs about concentration camps” and yeah, I don’t want a concentration camp in my neighborhood, or anywhere
you know who I don’t mind in my neighborhood?
free immigrants, undocumented or otherwise
If incremental progress is all we can hope for and it gets taken away so easily, maybe we should do something differently?? Idk crazy idea
All I will say is that his profile picture looks like that and somehow it is still catfishing.
Hot take but maybe taking issue with genocide isn’t just “politics”
Idk guys seems like Hasan had a point
New-age spiritual healer being a sex pest and/or criminal is definitely one of those “many such cases” things. 🫠
Look my IUD is a pain in the… uterus(?) sometimes, but god am I thankful for it with these morons in charge.
POLITICO Q 'It's pissing people off': Centrist Democrats are livid with AIPAC after primary fiasco AIPAC spent $2 million attacking moderate-leaning Tom Malinowski in a House special election — and may have handed the race to progressive Analilia Mejia. MR. MALINOWSKI
Democrats played stupid games with the genocidal apartheid state, now they’re reaping their stupid prizes.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) talks with reporters outside the U.S. Capitol
AOC on Trump’s oil embargo of Cuba: “What has transpired is that now it’s kind of become acceptable that the entire Western world will look the other way as they starve & deprive a people because they find political actors or political regimes in that country to be objectionable”
Conservatives and the rightwing are primarily interested in rationales for domination; insofar as a culture can be created from that, it will have no core, no load-bearing values, and in time, diminishing reach.
Depends on which state they’re in. In some states you can choose your primary ballot if unaffiliated.
Here’s one of those images floating around.
Not to be cruel, but have you guys been lobotomized?
The only “communist” position here would be undermining NATO. But I’m sure the creator didn’t know and wouldn’t understand why the left would take issue with NATO. Just broken clock shit.
This is probably a consequence of the circles I travel in academically, but I am always shocked when people claim expertise in a topic they know nothing about beyond the superficial state propaganda line.
Know that it’s okay to not know everything. You can’t. But don’t posture like you do.
And also there’s, like, another country with an even more obvious influence on American politics (ICE, Epstein, Palantir, aggression against Iran, etc., etc.) that is much more important to talk about than Russia.
Before anyone concern trolls: I don’t support Putin at all, and I do think he has unreasonable influence on Trump. But acting like a right wing oligarchy is in any way a spiritual descent of the USSR really emphasizes that y’all are embarrassingly undereducated.
Oh god, the Dem commentariat is back on Russia stuff big time.
I also just saw someone use the hammer and sickle in a chart about how Putin is controlling Trump.
I’m going to have a stroke I swear to god
I think that’s the point of the post? Or at least I hope so.
This photo is wildly embarrassing on so many levels.
Gonna go update my CV to include “military-grade intelligence”
Gotta change the underlying conditions, though. I think Europeans are tired of the whiplash they’ve been experiencing since at least Bush II. The Euro politicians may be spineless (they seem to be) but I don’t think the people are.
Having affectionate cats is great until you sit down for the first time all day to do *more work* and you get mobbed because the cats know it is Snuggle Time.
America combo is probably why Musk and these other guys feel such a strong affinity with the American branding. They like the frontier/pioneer/colonial mindset that gives them a sense of purpose they otherwise lack + reinforces their masculinity.
At present, yes. And I think one could make a case they are creating a new form of slave labor without all the “inconveniences” of slavery. I think in some ways the tech bro bit is coincidence more than destiny historically speaking (like oil baron money and the Bush family), but I think the tech+ /
I remain baffled by people who are that vocal at the gym. Like it sounds like some of y’all are enjoying this workout a bit too much, you know?
Thank you so much!
Question: do any of these do good text to speech? Or any way to side load android apps or something?
It does kinda suck that we could live in a really cool world and we don’t because we have to make the line go up.
Like the US could absolutely have Chinese-level cities and infrastructure and we don’t. We could have universal healthcare and education. But we don’t bc 📈📈📈
Okay but if box dye is bad why does my hair feel so glorious afterward?
I’m so sorry but the juxtaposition of your profile pic and his are sending me
