I find I'm at that awkward stage in life between birth and death.

Orwell 101: Step 1: falsely claim national emergency by saying that the country is being attacked both internally and from outside. Step 2: use it as an excuse to impose Martial law. What’s surprising is how so many Americans are actually falling for it in this day and age.
HOLY SH*T 🚨 President Trump just posted there is ONLY two options left to deal with illegals: 1) Deport every 3rd world migrant, illegal alien and America hating Visa holder” 2) Surrender your nation the way the UK have, and watch your society collapse in the coming years” 🔥

What a blatant lie this is. Capitalism grew out of the biggest looting in history. The British East India company had slaves on almost every continent. They also had the backing of the British state. This was mercantilism on steroids.
“Capitalism was the only system in history where wealth was not acquired by looting, but by production, not by force, but by trade, the only system that stood for man’s right to his own mind, to his work, to his life, to his happiness, to himself.” — Ayn Rand

I wonder how many lines of coke they went through in the Trump tower during the 1980s? It was always a rich persons drug of choice. And a US company created fentanyl. This isn’t about drugs. It’s about oil.
TRUMP JUST CANCELED CHRISTMAS FOR 15,000 TROOPS AND IS SENDING THEM TO INVADE VENEZUELA IN THE NEXT 10-14 DAYS — ALL TO SEIZE $3 TRILLION IN OIL FOR EXXON AND HIS BILLIONAIRE BUDDIES! https://t.co/YJN58kPsd4 He’s lying about “drugs” and “terrorism” the same way Bush lied about

The trick now is to not seek some type of protracted revenge against men who had absolutely nothing to do with patriarchy. This too is an overgeneralisation and a source of injustice.

At some point capitalism lost the ability to give us new things that we need and started giving us new things we don’t need, and now it’s giving us new things we never needed and don’t even really want. Nobody needs all this generative AI crap. We were doing fine with online

The problem with anarchism is that it inadvertently plays into the hands of the right wing. This is because Big Biz is monopolistic by nature. They require regulation to limit their power. Much the same as why we we can’t “free” a serial killer. It’s an equivocation fallacy.

Where are the headlines? This mother in Iran is about to be hanged and I really feel helpless seeing silence from the big names, the anti-war activists in the West, the feminist leaders, the so-called free world leaders. Her only “crime”? Fighting for freedom and dignity for her
Today, the Iranian regime confirmed the death sentence of Sharifeh Mohammadi, a mother, a labor activist, and a defender of women’s rights. Her only act was standing up for justice and dignity. Now she faces execution, leaving behind a young child who may never again feel her

100% of Thai women working in Israeli agriculture report being sexually assaulted in Israel — 654 of 654 surveyed. A report by immigration experts Dr. Yahel Kurlander and Dr. Shahar Shoham said “the State of Israel has abandoned these women” and that filing a complaint can mean

Strange, I was saying this earlier today. There’s no such thing as rest (perfect inertia). The time axis is a vibrating frequency about equilibrium. Velocity is a helix.
The quirks of quantum mechanics mean that a molecule can never be perfectly still – its atoms always have a tiny jiggle. Now we’ve finally captured that miniscule motion in unprecedented detail

Free speech means that people can speak truth to money and power without fear of reprisal from the state. They’ve twisted it to mean that money and power should be “free” to lie to us. It’s a basic equivocation fallacy.
He doesn’t give two poops about our constitution.

Which part of “Trump is a pathological liar” is unclear, exactly? He’s a snob who couldn’t care less about the working class. They’ve stolen the American dream for themselves.

BREAKING: Trump says he has told his team to fire the Commissioner of Labor Statistics. This announcement comes after worse than expected jobs numbers in July, and a downward revision of -258,000 jobs for the May and June jobs reports.

He’s not going to go down in history as a peacemaker. The name Trump will become like Benedict Arnold, a byword for lies and hypocrisy.
They're bragging about how much they're taxing Americans, which is, I gotta say, something I've literally never seen a politician do.
