What's a great song with "please" or "thank you" in the lyrics or title?

“Nobody with any sanity, including myself, would have anything but sympathy for the Palestinian plight. There’s not a sane person on earth who in any way sanctions what the fuck the Israeli authorities are doing.”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

There is a young man in jail today for protesting at his college. No charges. No criminal conduct. In dictatorships, they call this “a disappearance”.

I want to tell you why this case should matter to you, even if you strongly disagree with what he said or did.

It should be illegal to force homeless people to relocate. If a rich neighborhood is the best place to sleep rough then the rich should be forced to look at a daily reminder of the dystopia they live in until the underlying problems which cause homelessness have been fixed. You shouldn't be allowed to hide such things to make people comfortable.

All the laws designed to criminalize homelessness and force the unhoused to relocate are just one more way our dystopia hides its abuses and contradictions from public view, the same as propaganda and internet censorship and murdering Palestinian journalists. They want the homeless out of sight and out of mind in the same way their wars and genocides are out of sight and out of mind.

They just want the homeless to go "away", because they can't fix the injustices and inequality which causes homelessness without upending the power structure they rule. They wish all the symptoms of poverty and injustice in our society could be hidden on the other side of vast oceans like their wars are.

The problem with liberalism is that it rests on a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved. It will always fail, it will always collapse, and this explains everything about our current moment.

Liberals try to hold two commitments at once: on the one hand, they are firmly committed to capitalism; on the other, they express support for principles like human rights, democracy, equality, freedom of speech, environment and the rule of law.  This duality is the core of liberalism.

But there's a problem. Capital accumulation requires cheapening labour and nature. This eventually comes into direct conflict with principles like rights and equality. And whenever this conflict appears, the liberal ruling class sides with capital, abandons their lofty principles, and throws workers and nature under the bus.  Every. Single. Time.

This results in flagrant displays of hypocrisy. They run on nice-sounding platforms but end up either betraying their promises or actively working against their stated values. They'll slash public services, bail out banks, imprison journalists, beat up students, expand fracking, coup democratically elected leaders in the global South, bomb liberation movements, fund a genocide - they'll even trash international law itself - anything that's needed to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation.

At most, they may try to negotiate mediocre compromises, a few social policies here and there - some abortion rights, a tiny increase in the minimum wage - but nothing that might pose any serious threat to capital accumulation. Thus the soul-crushing slowness of liberal incrementalism.  Ultimately they are unwilling to take any of the obvious steps that would actually resolve our urgent social and ecological crises.

This is why nobody trusts liberal politicians.  This is why they come across as so fantastically insincere, and even sneering.  This is why they feel so spineless and *empty*.

The center cannot hold.  Liberalism will always collapse, inevitably handing power to fascists, and this is not acceptable.  There is only one way to overcome this deadly impasse, and that is to mobilize a socialist alternative. A political movement that can unite the working-classes, overcome capitalism, deliver real economic democracy, and enable us to achieve rapid progress toward social and ecological goals.

Now that Tavis Smiley has exposed the DNC for sending him a list of questions with which to attack Jill Stein, there's a serious question to ask: are the DNC and Harris-Biden White House pressuring social media companies to shadow ban Stein and censor her supporters? As seen in the docs revealed through Murthy v. Missouri, as well as the Twitter files, the WH has engaged in this kind of subversive, anti-democratic activity before.

WTF?

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Families are struggling to put food on the table. I sent a letter to @Kroger about their decision to roll out surge pricing using facial recognition technology. Facial recognition technology is often discriminatory and shouldn't be used in grocery stores to price gouge residents.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

Some of you have made really disgusting bedfellows.

Meanwhile, I’ll be voting for the Jewish doctor lady and the Black Muslim man who support the people’s interests—not the war mongers who are sending 100 troops to fight & possibly die to defend a genocidal apartheid state.

@ddotbeth @StewartGersmann Oh no! So sorry for your loss. Losing one’s furry loved ones hurts so much.

When you wonder how racist cartoons of Rashida Tlaib can be published so haphazardly, note that such baked-in racism doesn’t come out of nowhere; the same Congress that censured Rashida Tlaib is doing nothing about a US Senator telling a Muslim witness to hide her head in a bag:
