Absolutely right.

When Gothamist was bought out by either NPR or the NY radio affiliate WNYC it became more horrendously reflective of the milquetoast Neoliberal drivel on the radio all day.

Brian Lehrer on WNYC to me is the NeoLib poster boy there. Seems “progressive,” but time and again proves to be a MSDNC brunch time Blue Dog. Guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when he went into the tank against Bernie, perhaps not outwardly but by omission and regurgitating mainstream corporate media talking points but of course in a manner to appear objective.

Haven’t paid too much attention to Gothamis my lately but now will. Because Zohran, as in both the primary and general election, was attacked by both corporate Dem Party media, RW, oligarchs and Zionists and will be the fight ahead too.

Righteous, comrade!

Friend just flew down on Monday. He’s been trying to help get solar panels for the Cubanos.

What…the…fucking…fuck…

The only fleeting hope fleets.

Will the MFer make even the slightest attempt at redemption by coming cleans a d ratting out the others?

Jesus fuck...

Is anybody else seeing this differently now too?

Epstein-Barr!

Jeffrey boy and his college professor Barr. Linked together forever, first as a disease and then again as the ultimate global capitalist disease.

A Hexbear comrade much cleverer than I beg to please run with this one.

Bring on the People's Tribunals, comrade!

If I see another bodega with a sign for “Dubai chocolate” it’s gonna take all my willpower not to break their window.

Capitalism thrives on suckers’ trends.

It’s quite incredible really, and eminently commendable, that a just-elected mayor, who is barely in office but has already taken a demonstrative stand against slumlords in minority neighborhoods of NYC, took the time to throw himself into the mix against this atrocity.

Where are all the rest of Democrats in Congress and the Senate and throughout the country?

There’s no other way of looking at this: this was as potent of a first day move as one could make to push things clearly in the direction of solidifying socialism.

Above all else people can’t afford rent. And, the fucking glaringly brazen way that landlords are able to get away with utterly leaving apartments in disrepair yet still asking for rent checks is the epitome of capitalist decay. And he’s shining a light on both here.

That Zohran knows he has a mega platform now and chose to go to a black neighborhood in Brooklyn, with tv news cameras following his every move, is a stroke of genius.

I don’t know how all this is going to pan out. There will be and I’m sure now is underway all kinds of hellacious subterfuge and sabotage to sink his agenda.

But if he can win the hearts and minds of working people, who have been fucked over in election after election by the shitty fake democrats that win easily here, and get them to see themselves in solidarity with a socialist movement, we could really be seeing the beginnings of building a serious socialist movement to dislodge the feckless democrats.

It can not be a phot opp. I don’t think it will be.

Cory Doctorow needs a wider audience.

Definitely not pro-capitalist.

I share some of the concerns being voiced here. But not that one.

Honest question: what happens with the abandoned boats?

More confessions from those illustrious Economic Hitmen, aka the IMF.

That’s who we should be revolting against.

I’ve only recently begun to go there.

Initial impressions are that it’s totally mainstream, liberal, tepid, weak-kneed and brunch-bound.

X has been pathetic reactionary propaganda and misinformation so I understand why it exists as a supposed antidote. But how lame.

Isn’t there a Drop Site reporter on board giving updates? I’ve seen a segment with him.

I also saw a journalism panel in which the discussion was about the outlet allowing said reporter to go, at his insistence, despite the concerns of danger.

I know an Egyptian guy who has spoken about how evil the Egyptian police are.

The whole Arab Spring/Tahrir Square uprising there was primarily a reaction to their brutal secret police.

Totally controlled by the CIA and American bribes.

Have there been any other Egyptian support yet? That’s the question this comrade had:

And, at the end of that story was a link to yet another gun massacre.

Waterfront bar in SC. Former Army guy with “mental problems,” probably PTSD.

Greatest Country in the World. With no peace.

I like Lewis Black’s definition of socialism:

“It’s like enforced Christianity.”

Like to think of this as a coupla countries making amends for fascist takeovers in their recent past.

Build up that Antifa fleet!

I switched to NPR today for a moment just to see who their “underwriters” were.

Moderna came up.

Big Pharma more as undertakers.

If your Dad belongs to the Communist Party and gets killed fighting fascists it’s a good chance you'll have the requisite courage to speak up abt oppression.
