Our societies are too enslaved to market logic, and everything risks being subject to self-interest and the quest for profit. Volunteering is prophecy and a sign of hope, because it bears witness to the primacy of gratuitousness, solidarity, and service to those most in need.
❗️ "Without the U.S. and our weapons, this war would be over in two weeks," – Trump.
Zelensky: "I heard 'three days' from Putin. Now it's 'two weeks'."
Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
You will never be able to lecture me on anything when I voted for Kamala Harris to prevent all of these things from happening. I voted for your well-being when you voted against mine, and that's unforgivable. Your self-righteousness is the reason why millions will badly suffer.
This is not something you could get away with saying in polite society 10 years ago. “The average IQ in Somalia is 68” is Stormfront shit. It’s blatantly false 19th century style race science.
Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.
The right spent 8 years mocking liberals for saying Trump wanted to be a fascist dictator and then one month into his second term they’re using Napoleonic language to say he’s the living embodiment of the Constitution and laws don’t apply to him
I’ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. It’s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.
Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
If they’re going to keep following the script, the next steps are the Reichstag Fire and the Enabling Act.
Now, if they *wanted* a shock event, like terrorism, or a pandemic, or a nuclear accident they could use to declare martial law and seize total power what would they do?
Would they dismantle parts of the government devoted to preventing foreign interference? Would they put a psychopathic Kremlin stooge in charge of the FBI? Would they destroy the disease control infrastructure of the United States, and shut down communications to the public? Would they put the brainworm, pro-polio guy in charge of HHS? Would they put Peter Thiel’s herd immunity guy at NIH? Would they “accidentally” fire people overseeing nukes? Would they fire hundreds of FAA workers after three plane crashes?
This is not “incompetence.” Look around.
They are setting us up for mass death.
It is time to think out of the box. 🇺🇸🏴☠️
