Ben Affleck's mother Chris Affleck passed today. I was unaware of her longstanding activism for Palestine. Now his disgust and revulsion at genocidal Zionist Bill Maher and Sam Harris's deranged racist Islamophobic rants makes perfect sense. RIP, you raised a good son.

What really fucking boils my piss is that we had the opportunity to change the world after Covid. The pandemic produced a fascinating real-world experiment. It demonstrated that human activity can alter emissions and local environmental conditions extraordinarily quickly

Hot take: People DO NOT actually want to become millionaires. They want to stop checking their bank account before buying groceries.

If the police can detain you or use force against you just for being armed then you don’t have the right to bear arms.

Warning: This Video Will Make You Angry

On October 31, 2022, in Lake City, Florida, legally blind Navy veteran James Hodges, then 61, was walking home after jury duty was canceled.

He was stopped by a female deputy (Jayme Gohde) who mistook his folded mobility cane for a handgun in his back pocket.

After Hodges requested the bodycam footage and filed a complaint, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office investigated. Sheriff Mark Hunter publicly apologized, calling the deputies’ conduct “unacceptable”.

Deputy Gohde received a two-day suspension without pay;

Her supervisor Sgt. Harrison (seen in video) was demoted, received a seven-day suspension without pay, and was barred from favorable actions (raises/promotions) for two years.

Both underwent remedial civil-rights training.

A later lawsuit by Hodges was settled out of court.

The law should be: If the doctor is recommending it, it should be ILLEGAL for the insurance companies to deny it without appealing to a board of physicians. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

I love how leftists are told to settle for “slow change”

while conservatives destroy all the progress we’ve made as a species within a year or two

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to which is exactly why we need government regulations

🖤 Black Dads - The CDC no longer measures these stats. Let me tell you why. It breaks the stereotypes. You cannot use lies #CTRLtheNarrative because the truth always shines through.

People don’t need religion to have a moral compass; they need religion to cover up not having a moral compass.

The most successful propaganda operation in American history was convincing American workers that they were middle class.

Not working class.
Not employees.
Not people whose survival depends on selling their labor to people who own capital.

Middle class.

The word does enormous work.

It places the speaker in the center: not at the bottom, not at the top, but in the reasonable, stable, neither-extreme middle.

It produces identification with the system rather than critique of it, because middle-class people are not dispossessed. They are participants.

It severs solidarity with the people below, because if you are middle class, you are not working class, and the interests of working-class people are not automatically your interests.

And it produces aspiration upward rather than organization horizontally.

The middle-class person is always potentially on their way to wealth, never actually on their way to collective power.

The word "middle class" dissolved the American labor movement more effectively than the Pinkertons ever did.

And people use it about themselves voluntarily.

Without any prompting.

That is how you know it worked.

In a sane world, automation would pave the way for true abundance and even a post-scarcity society, where humanity could truly flourish.

But in our world, all it does is create unemployment, widen the wealth gap, and pave the way for a police-state.

Damn so much truth in one statement.

Even then, it's also when you point out actual history is when most people's true intentions arrive in full form.
