  • Plan to skewer US sanctuary city mayors backfires on Republicans

    Jump

  • their suggestions on how to actually make cities safer were all wonderful. but nowhere did they say the one thing that matters the most. REDUCE INEQUALITY BY TAXING THE ULTRA RICH.

    seriously, how else do we fund the suggestions they just made? tax them bitches.

  • saving this for later, thanks

  • China says it is ready for 'any type of war' with US

    Jump

  • the Cold War was a free printing money machine for 50 years. creating a new one against China makes sense if you're an oligarch whose wealth rides upon govt contracts and endless military industrial expansionism.

    and it kinda explains why Putin is manipulating Trump to make him believe they'll choose the US over China in a game of saber rattling. Russia is positioning itself to be the tie-breaker so it can play both sides against one another in lucrative energy/arms deals. maybe they'll even get some real estate out of it.

  • You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism

    Jump

  • "You can d­iscourse and quote-dunk and fact-check until you’re blue in the face, but at a certain point, you have to stop and decide what truth you believe in. The internet has conditioned us to constantly seek new information, as if becoming a sponge of bad news will eventually yield the final piece of a puzzle. But there is also such a thing as having enough information. As the internet continues to enshittify, maybe what we really need is to start trusting each other and our own collective sense of what is true and good."

    having more examples of collapse won't hold back collapse or help you prepare for it.

    and in a "post-facts" world, it's more important to build strong connections with other people who share your BELIEFS and less important to respond to every new supposed "fact" (claim) being shoved into our faces by an unreliable media.

    beliefs are increasingly more potent in the world of political organization than facts/new information, just look at how easily our country has been overtaken by millions of voters who believed in blatantly false promises and simple answers to complex problems.

  • Tesla for Sale: Buyer’s Remorse Sinks In for Elon Musk’s E.V.-Owning Critics

    Jump

  • the 2016 and 2020 coverage of Bernie Sanders and their pushing of centrist anti-progressive agendas in the editorials was enough for me to unsubscribe forever. after what they've done in recent years, there's no way I'll ever trust them to represent working class interests.

    here's an example just a couple weeks ago of them laundering Republican party talking points into man on the street style "people are saying" interviews about how 'aktually I'm black and I'm glad DEI is being ended.' receipts showing stealth edits made to cover their tracks in the linked article.

  • J. D. Vance Stopped Talking About Eggs | Last year, the vice president made prices a central theme of the GOP election campaign. Now that eggs cost more than ever, he’s gone quiet.

  • Day 1 of Protesting my House Rep’s Office

    Jump

  • it's tough to fill the time. consider bringing a small speaker, maybe make a playlist that'll give you some mental energy and/or contribute to your mood, but also might bump up your message. songs by Dylan, Bragg, even Marley have encouraging messages. you could even do southern gospel songs like the ones that black activists sang during the civil rights movement.

  • certain, specific humans, have a great deal more culpability than others.

    less useful blaming billions when a couple dozen people engineered the choices for the rest of us, especially on climate.

    the biggest problem opposition groups have nowadays is targeting the wrong people to oppose. I know who my enemies are and it's not so self defeatingly simplistic as humans = bad.

  • ultimately the goal in reading history of anti fascist movements is to take bits and pieces of what they did well, what they did wrong, and synthesize a new vision for what a modern anti fascist coalition might look like in 2025.

    those criticizing IF are making valid contributions, but we should be cautious not to throw the baby out with the bath water. IF wouldn't work today under same core ideologies and strategies they used then. but it's still inspiring to know that some courageous folks did band together (albeit unsuccessfully) to resist forces that became the Nazi war machine. and there are many others to learn from.

    we can do better though, we must do better if things really are headed the same direction globally as they were in 1932. I hope not.

    don't give up. tax the rich. death to billionaires.

  • 15 Republican AGs Urge The Supreme Court To Make Providing Affordable Broadband To Poor People Illegal

  • this makes me so angry. congress already took away the Affordable Connectivity Plan which helped millions of Americans.

    internet service providers should be nationalized and made into a public utility.

  • sending you encouraging vibes.

    be aware, even completely civil nonviolent usage of your constitutional rights can be misconstrued and things might escalate quickly unexpectedly.

    be sure to have recording devices that automatically upload. memorize at least one phone number for someone who can help you in case your phone is taken or worst case you are detained. know your rights, review advice from civil liberties orgs so you know when it's wise to speak or wise to remain silent.

  • Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison: ‘Finally free’

    Jump

  • given the coerced witness, lack of evidence, and time already served, it should have been a pardon not a commutation to house arrest.

    but it's still wonderful he's finally out of prison.
