We should be furious to live in a country that does this—to be at the mercy of a flailing empire that always chooses death and conquest over peace and justice. We should be furious at a political system that makes it so much easier to kill people than to help them. We should be furious at an establishment that lusts so ardently for war, and that has so much contempt for humanity. We should be furious at the untrammeled power of a global ruling class that causes so much suffering. And we should recommit to the most important task ahead: destroying as much of that power as we can.

Nobody wants this war except for the psychos in DC and Jerusalem and their clients in the murder industry. People know that a war with Iran is an act of total insanity by a ruling class that will destroy us all.

Wrote for @discourseblog.com about the historic levels of loserdom wafting off the MAGA people melting down about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show. This is why we will defeat these dopes: because they are losers!!! www.discourseblog.com/p/do-you-peo...

Enough is enough. Politicians can either support the complete abolition—not "reform" but *abolition*—of ICE, or they can get the hell out of the way. (Me for @discourseblog.com ) www.discourseblog.com/p/enough-is-...
I wrote for @discourseblog.com about abolishing ICE and the Democrats standing athwart history yelling "reform and retrain" www.discourseblog.com/p/the-anti-a...
Revolutionary HQ does not have a glory hole
"How can I not feel a swell of pride at the fact that one of the major bulwarks against ICE locally is a coalition between the Smitten Kitten sex shop (no glory hole!), the Twin Cities Leather fetish-wear supplier, and Wrecktangle pizza parlor?"

"So how do you describe a hurricane while you’re stuck in its eye? How do you describe getting kicked in the teeth while you can still taste leather? You can’t, of course—not completely."

Tried to describe what life here is like these days, and why, despite it all, I'm optimistic and so, so proud of this community.
"if Minnesota has demonstrated anything since being turned into a microcosm of this broader struggle against totalitarianism, it’s how to turn despair into not only action, but genuine solidarity — the kind that better worlds are made of."
Good was reportedly a “legal observer” and was killed for it. There’s no clearer message about where this country is at than that. It is already normalized in America that cops can kill kidnap, assault, and kill people, and can do so for any reason. We cannot accept the story that an ICE agent was “fearing for his life.” We know who these people are and what they’re capable of, and it’s imperative to say it. Anything else is irresponsible and shameful. Anything else is picking the side of the oppressor. Abolish ICE. Now and forever.
So sharp from @caitschneider.bsky.social in @discourseblog.com on the dreadful both-sidesing of Renee Nicole Good's murder www.discourseblog.com/p/renee-nico...
Despite what the government and far too many media outlets would have you believe, the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good is not up for debate www.discourseblog.com/p/renee-nico...
There is no ambiguity about any of this. Usually, American presidents—at least the ones of the past 80 or so years, when the “international rules-based order” meant you had to pretend a little more—like to hide behind a fig leaf of deniability when they engineer coups in other countries. Don’t look at us! It was the people and the people alone who decided to overthrow Bolivia’s Evo Morales in 2019; Honduran President Manuel Zelaya in 2009; Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004; Maduro’s predecessor Hugo Chávez in 2002; Argentina’s Isabel Perón in 1976; Chile’s Salvador Allende in 1973; Bolivia’s Juan José Torres in 1971; Brazil’s João Goulart in 1964; the Congo’s Patrice Lumumba in 1960; Guatemala’s Jacobo Arbenz in 1954; Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953; and many other people I’ve surely forgotten.

Wrote for @discourseblog.com about why it's important that we call what Trump has done in Venezuela by its proper name—a coup—and why (surprise surprise) our major media outlets have universally failed to do so www.discourseblog.com/p/the-word-f...

Jimmy Fallon Is the ChatGPT of Talk Show Hosts www.discourseblog.com/p/jimmy-fall...
Sam Altman is a ghoulish villain, sure, but let's not discount Fallon as the real stinker of the pair.
Jimmy Fallon doesn’t really tell jokes, or conduct interviews. He just rattles off pop culture references and slightly rewords whatever someone just told him.
In other words, he’s ChatGPT. www.discourseblog.com/p/jimmy-fall...
THIS.
Entirely this:

He's a human ChatGPT (janky, annoying, a net negative in the world at large)
Under Trump, things are simple, clear, and concise. If you do what the president wants, you will be rewarded with money and status. www.discourseblog.com/p/quid-pro-q...
