Exactly this. The voters don't need to change their behaviours. If Dems want to win, they need to change THEIR behaviours. I'm not running for election, nor is @shelleybwoke.bsky.social . I honestly don't understand what the obsession is with the "strategy" of individual voters. Blame the DNC.
I'm raising money for my friend Maha and her baby to move closer to Khan Yunis. If they can't make this move it's highly likely her son will die. Please help any way you can, sharing helps too ❤️ gofund.me/6e0e27c2
You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.
Any person watching this can assume that he’s ok with what the regime is doing. Is it normalcy or complicity?
BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
Everything about this is bad
When Southern states sent state militias to occupy Northern cities what was that called again? On the tip of my tongue.
They've literally taken the graph back to Great Depression levels
Yeah, decades of being government propagandists and, by your own words, 15 years of sitting back and accepting everything thrown at them is great evidence they're not collaborators who are just following orders. I think you're kinda biased on this subject, understandably.
I get they're in a tough spot, but they're literally going to be replacing teachers with these AI curricula programs. If there's a time for mass dissent and organization among the profession, this is it. Can't have a national org without a profession to represent, so they could exert some influence.
They have a big union. They have a duty of care when it comes to the education of children. We need to stop giving passes to collaborators just because they're teachers, nurses, doctors, etc. People's jobs aren't worth people's lives and these AI data centers are already poisoning entire communities
This party is serving its true function to perfection
Also, marxists.org has tons of good free books and pamphlets to recommend people. Browsing through it for good pieces is always productive and thought provoking.
There is *A LOT* of even worse trash in many books, and the fact it's in a printed book tend to lead people to believe it's more worth consideration. My spouse listens to books at work and always has to scroll through endless Bill O'Reilly trash books about historical figures to get to any good ones
Yesterday was Labor Day 2. The first is May Day. But I'm down for Labor Day 3.
Most seem to be, yeah. I guess the exceptions might be among the people who are questionably part of the "bread tube" group. Most are standard liberals, a few have more progressive views. That shaun guy with the skull avatar/logo has been on the right side of most things.
With credible reports that there will soon be a major increase in federal immigration enforcement activity in Chicago, I want to once again highlight the Family Support Network - a rapid response resource run by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR). Use it if you spot ICE.
I have so many great memories of shows there. Switchblade Symphony, Frontline Assembly, KMFDM, it was the only place for such acts to play in the area and the venue was perfect for it.
Where the freakman?
Hopefully they don't repeat the mistake of the US. Make sure he gets sent to jail and barred from holding office.
Would you know if the revolution began? Who would tell you when the class war becomes open war instead of cold war? Are you waiting for the fighting to reach your street? youtu.be/bCoxqUUDg50?...

Today we just say politician
The economy has already collapsed. The bottom 2/3 of the nation can already feel it viscerally, but the top isn't as insulated as they think. This bubble collapsing will put 1929 to shame.
at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!
Everything makes sense if you operate under the assumption that universities are captured by Wall Street, and are actively trying to destroy the core of higher education by turning it into a business. Takes a few years for people to realize that they're actually working in corporate, not education.
We're not cynically opportunistic enough for their liking. They understand that mindset and work with it, but having any ideological or ethical boundaries is incomprehensible to them. It's the Futurama joke with Lrrrr asking why the largest Friend didn't just eat the rest of them.
"Gavin Newsom Calls Donald Trump 'Leading' Socialist of Our Time." Don't forget that some American high profile professors and captains of industry called trump a "Maoist" just the other day. It's actually pretty amazing how politically and economically illiterate Americans are. It's crazy!!

Stripping Palestinians of the ability to enter a safe country while being denied the most basic human rights at home is blatant collective punishment and a clear deprivation of dignity and humanity. Millions are forced to live under occupation, without water, electricity, or
The majority don’t know (or are in denial) that they could be (or are) ableist They go: “I’m not ableist because ______” Or: “I’d rather not wear a mask in public but _____” Fact ➡️ being anti-ableist & anti-eugenics requires action Caring about immunocompromised people = wearing a mask in public

A local diner was raided by ICE and 14 people were kidnapped, and most of the locals seem more concerned with where they're going to get their hashbrowns than with anything else. Unfriendly reminder that immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and migrants don't owe you labor to deserve respect.
honestly insane how reporters have kept going "well but crime down so isn't this a good thing" about the take over of DC, dawg the reason why crime has collapsed is the same reason why restaurants are in freefall, because no one is outside because of all the goddamn goons
Please talk to some Black people before dismissing the psychological impact of having Feds running around the neighborhood hemming people up en masse.
Irish national Kitty O’Brien being absolutely brutalized by Berlin police during a peaceful pro-Palestine rally. Kettled, badly beaten, their arm shattered, they say, “you don’t fucking scare us.”
She also spearheaded the collapse of Libya as Sec of State and helped turn it into a place with open air slave markets.
Incredibly humble statement at the perfect moment.
On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
“i’m an ally, but only if you’re sufficiently deferential and nice to me” is one of the most embarrassing statements imaginable, yet so many people feel perfectly comfortable shouting it from the rooftops absolutely mortifying
I find Bell Hooks to be pretty good about this subject. She frames it in the recognition that the first violence done in misogyny is on young boys because that's how they are taught what they are supposed to be. Any of us who don't react in the "right" way get othered and take on the feminine role.
another week, another person i’ve known for years who stopped masking hitting me up for doctor recs. they’ve got longcovid. i always give as much as i can. illness is not punishment for not engaging in mitigation behavior in an environment lacking systemic safety, it is simple cause & effect.
Now that we know the "enjoy the camps" and "vote blue no matter who" folks are on the dark money payroll, we should treat them like hasbara and just block
It's not hard to understand that establishment Democrats like Republicans, support their policies, and protect them from legal consequences because they agree with them and hold their own base in contempt.
And just for the record, all the people defending those taking the money without disclosing it are in the process of destroying their credibility as well. You're a shill and we're taking screenshots of it that will pop up in your life 10 years from now
Also, research consistently shows that students only retain about 5% of course material long-term when using traditional American teaching methods. Education has a million problems and they've all been studied thoroughly and then ignored by a political class with no will to act on any of it.
it is underdiscussed how "learning loss" can also be attributed to the fact that millions of people were dying and the kids were fucking terrified all the time - not just that they were on Zoom
I have never seen a single news article about whether or not Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer or Kristen Gillibrand need to assure Muslim New Yorkers that they're against Islamophobia and anti-Arab / anti-Asian bigotry
Without a doubt, but this take is specifically a kind of white colonizer way of approaching things that has been prevalent for centuries.
The contradiction at the heart of transmisogyny has always been that people will insist they don't see us as women while treating us exactly like women, and specifically as women they are entitled to sexually exploit or brutalize.

Remember today is a day meant to separate USAin labor from the international labor movement, because the dictatorship of capitalism is most terrified of an international proletariat and its ability to organize around the global oppressed for mutual benefit.
What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.
It's naan negotiable
Replace "overly online" with "white guy" and you got it
Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.
When people tell you that the parties are the same, this is exactly what they're talking about. All the wonky minutiae about means tested tax credit programs that would never get out of committee mean nothing compared to this very real and very visceral alignment between them.
Some people are taking this post as a joke, but it’s literally true www.currentaffairs.org/news/2017/06...
Guess they don't know about Stonewall either. Loud ignorance is my pet peeve.
"you can't compare something that's been fought for for 100+/30+/20+ years to the recent attacks on trans rights." Exactly 100 years ago. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institu...
On June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland declared Labor Day a holiday for U.S. workers, days after deploying troops to violently suppress the Pullman strike & killing dozens of workers. At Prism, we reject the state's efforts to pacify workers' demands & to isolate U.S. workers from the world.🧵
This is exactly right! The Right’s core claim is that they represent an authentic, “real" America that is constantly being victimized, made to suffer under the yoke of leftist/liberal overreach, and therefore rightfully aggrieved. And too many Democrats/liberals look at that and go: “I agree.”
The frustration of playing The Secret World caused much stress for me. The rebuilt version, Secret World Legends, only increased it. So much good stuff in the game. So much potential and developers that obviously cared about the game, all ruined by Funcom business practices and penny pinching.
Around the 1970s, billionaires did the math and realized that it was cheaper to buy the entire political system, an army of judges to rule in their favor, and the media ecosystem than it was to pay their taxes.
dox every memebr of ice. Dox every fascist you find. Make fascists fear being openly in your community.

Cold Take: Fascists don't deserve to be welcome in public life at all. Taking off the hoods and putting on a suit was all it took for the mainstream to start platforming them and their ideas again. Respectability politics are the path to fascism.
🎯 That’s just Bibi victimizing innocent Jews the way supremacists with power victimize and use everyone. Revising history before our eyes. This isn’t a genocide… Israel needs to kill hundreds of thousands of children to “defend itself.” Bombing & starving babies? “Israeli defense.”
We *JUST* got OTC hormonal birth control pills in most pharmacies and now of course they're attacking it. They want to go back to when women would be virtual slaves to their husband and couldn't work/earn/own anything on their own.
Like, you can see it if you go back in almost any medium. Movies became bland by trying to appeal to everyone. Niche networks like Sci-fi lost their audience after trying to appeal to everyone by adding things like Ghost Hunters and wrestling. They want Bluesky to join the death march.
This has been the downfall of media for decades now. The investors and capitalists only care about maximizing profits, so anything less than exponential growth is seen as a failure. If you're filling a niche then they think that means you're not appealing to everyone you could be.
The marketplace of ideas is a scam youtu.be/sVhU_q1ZYjQ
#MarxistMonday The mode of production of material life conditions the social, political and intellectual life process in general. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness. - Karl Marx
Kinda sounds like AI wrote it.
Yeah, that's why they moved it to September and the media ignores May Day, the actual and original Labor Day. Red scare bullshit is still infesting the US and things won't get better until it's cleared out like the infection it is.
To clarify, the right wing is doing what it planned to do and always wanted to do. They want to go back to a time when they could have plantations and company towns full of people that have no choice but to labor with no hope of things ever getting better. And no one is stopping them, yet.
I've never seen such a disconnect between Dem elected/staff/consultants and actual Dem voters. The latter understand what's going on. The former are awash in right-wing brainrot, hence @schatz.bsky.social blaming COVID mitigation and BLM marches for the GOP's wanton destruction of public health.
![@EsotericCD It was in this moment that many of us hanging on to a thin sliver of trust in our institutions irrevocably lost faith in them. One of the most poisonous blows to public trust in living memory - worse than the effect of the Iraq War in many ways. RFK Jr is a direct result of this.

Everyday I wake up
"He might be dead" isn't even that wild of a theory. a wild theory would be "what if he had a stroke which fried the parts of his brain that make him a stupid evil piece of shit and now he has to figure out how to navigate his existence with a conscience and the knowledge of everything he's done"
THIS! OMG I've been SHOUTING THIS. It's Newsom's fucking PLAN to piss off trans ppl to please centrists to make himself more electable. If his plan works to make trans ppl not vote for him but doesn't pick up centrist votes, that's not our fault. We followed the plan & the centrists didn't.
... Or a victim
With fascism, you're either a collaborator or part of the resistance.
The fundamental problem with all the British liberals complaining about the Labour government implementing far right policies is that over the last decade they've shown when given a choice between barbarism and mild social democracy they *aggressively* choose barbarism.
Are you saying he's a vampire? He golfs in broad daylight!

It's the same with white supremacy, too. They'll call it "American values" or "family values" or "traditional culture" rather than place "white" on equal linguistic footing with other race categories. Bigotry and supremacy demands they normalize their experience while othering any that diverge.
That looks even better than a Rochester garbage plate
If the majority of a nation wants their representatives to stop arming a genocide but those representatives refuse, it means they are not afraid to lose votes. By voting for the "lesser evil" for decades you didn't honor the right to vote so many fought for, you devalued the only currency you had.
The key to winning a conflict against empire and the key to not becoming yet another empire is cultivating a core trait of empathy that respects life above all else and rejects violence as anything but a tool for self defense and liberation. It doesn't teach it only harms. We need radical compassion
Empires fail because they stop considering people as important. They get sloppy and end up creating the force that overthrows them through their disregard of life. When you start talking about "acceptable casualties" you've already lost the mental war. You're seeing people are abstract numbers.
That is to say, yes, Israel and the US and Russia can get to a single cell by obliterating the entire neighborhood or town, but that creates even more enemies to deal with. Small scale surgical attacks and unconventional sabotage can and do bring them to a halt without collateral damage which is key
Modern armor and weaponry can be quite advanced, but their strength comes from the fact that they're combined with large armies that need mass produced and interchangeable components. Insurgencies and asymmetric warfare can be waged by small cells and individuals using unconventional methods.
