ICE was a dying agency until *you* increased their funding and hiring numbers. This is in addition to your numerous war crimes all over the world. Shut the fuck up.

Michael Parenti, who has just died, on how journalism works: “You say what you like, because they like what you say...you don’t know you’re wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day. It’s only if you then begin to wander to a prohibited perimeter that you feel the tug.”

These are the same conservatives that now say you should be murdered by the government for legally practicing Open Carry

Rest in Power, comrade Michael Parenti, a fearless Marxist thinker who never compromised his independence for academic prestige. As a historian and political analyst, he revived trust in class-based perspectives when they were dismissed or mocked, and tirelessly exposed the ways

Marxist historian and political scientist Michael Parenti has passed away at the age of 92. He devoted his life to dissenting from the mainstream, challenging power and institutions, exposing contradictions, and ripping the mask off of propaganda. ‘The third world is not poor.’

Michael Parenti on what pure capitalism looks like

In honour of Parenti with the news of his passing, I'd like to bring back my favourite clip from his Yellow Speech.

Michael Parenti just passed away. Really this year just started and it’s been one bad thing after another already, but I suppose at least he’s in peace, I can’t imagine he was in the best of conditions given his illness. As Mao Zedong had said, "All men must die, but death can

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) died today. He has, as his son Christian said, 'gone to the Great Lecture Hall in the Sky'. A socialist from early into his life till the very end, Michael Parenti wrote in a feisty way and spoke bluntly the truths that were not always easy to digest

Laura Dern: “I don’t know if you guys have ever had a director upset with you about how you’ve described their movie but I have had that happened once…” Jennifer Lawrence: “Was it David Lynch?” Dern: “Yes”

It took western leaders ONE DAY of punitive economic measures that affect them to come out and criticise how the global economic system works for some at the expense of others. On behalf of the global South, who have suffered and known this for centuries, truly fuck them.

Applause from The View's studio audience after Mamdani says he supports abolishing ICE. People insisted it was "too radical" just a few years ago, now when it's no longer possible to ignore the agency's terror, abolishing it is an applause line on daytime talk shows.

Leftists built the labor protections you take for granted; the 8-hour workday, weekends, child labor bans, OSHA, and the right to unionize. None of that came from centrists voting for the lesser evil on anything. It came from left labor unions and coalitions speaking up

"modern main character syndrome. With a major superiority complex" So, Bari Weiss.
