Ignorance, superstition, and bigotry are deadly when they take over a nation. Buckle up; the fight never ends. Was @stellaaaa on Twitter, but reclaiming my name.

Gazans are just running from place to place now in the tiny enclave with no hope of safety, while Netanyahu takes a victory lap in Washington at the invitation of our leaders. Obscene.

The spelling of “bourgeoisie” was intended as yet another means of oppression

Had a literal laugh-out-loud moment just now thinking about all the wasted time, money and energy expended by the right on Hunter Biden.

Starting a list of all the shit Biden could do as a lame duck and with immunity.... 1. Pardon Hunter. 2. Pardon all those with non residency to become resident.

In the end, the only honest Democrat was Dean Phillips, at least he tried to run in the primary. Everyone dunked on him.

At least 63 billionaires have now publicly endorsed Trump, hosted a fundraiser for him, or contributed to Trump aligned PACs. Why are they rallying behind him? Tax cuts, mostly. But there's more. The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes. Be warned.

Big donors led campaigns to push out university presidents and crack down on protesters and the NY press especially amplified their concerns via lower level activists Feels like something similar is happening with Biden

it feels like what big donors were doing at universities re: Gaza protests.

I am really shocked at Zoe Loffgren and Jarred Huffman pulling this stunt and joining the attack on our ticket.

When they look for new patsies, conmen change up their game, but they don't change the con. Yet, our serious media outlets keep falling for the Trump: Changed gambit. Trump will not change ever because he loves who he is.

Wherever you are on Biden v. Harris v. Some Third Thing, it's extremely concerning that this is being litigated between rich donors and clueless pundits on the basis of extremely problematic polling data.

Here's the full AOC video from tonight for those who are curious

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Instagram: "🎶 This messy moment 🎶"www.instagram.com 9,046 likes, 555 comments - aoc on July 18, 2024: "🎶 This messy moment 🎶".

Are we surprised that the legacy press fell for the“infrastructure week” gambit one more time? The Trump will soften his stance one more time? So stop the bedwetting . Trump is a Fascist period.

Anyway my understanding is that Democrats are about to fire their nominee because he's old and gives rambling incoherent speeches

Anyway here’s more of the history of fascists who try to tell the public “professors are the enemy,” he’s in really good company here with people like Richard Nixon and, of course, Joseph Goebbels

This man went to Yale and this song is truly getting old

‘Attack the universities.’ Trump’s VP pick JD Vance has harsh words for higher education. - The Boston Globewww.bostonglobe.com “Universities are part of a social contract in this country,” Vance said. “They’re not meeting their end of the bargain.”

Op-Ed: When politicians claim professors like me are the enemy, what are they really attacking?www.latimes.com J.D. Vance says professors are the enemy, a charge made by authoritarians who are notoriously anti-intellectual.

while I think Joe Biden is probably the weakest candidate Democrats could have put forward as their nominee for president, it is BEYOND malpractice that Democrats are spending the week of the Republican National Convention campaigning against their own nominee instead of the fascist GOP opponent.

So, for those who want to replace Biden, I asked AI to create the perfect political candidate; here you go. Is this what the fantasy politics team is imagining? Where is he?

I hadn't thought of it quite this way: that he died from a bullet meant for Trump, and Trump can't even be bothered to call his widow.

When I got jumped in March 2016 at a Trump rally by Neo Nazis and Trump cheered it on from the stage the Democratic mayor issued a statement about violence on both sides and the ACLU supported Trump’s right to yell at people to attack me. Stop looking to institutions to protect you from fascists.

Remember how the right turned Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero? For shooting people at a racial justice protest?

I get highly anxious when my neighbor uses his chipper. Not a nice easy summer Sunday feeling.
