LYING Odysseus, he lied to the Cyclops. He told his wife, honey I'm coming back, and he cheated on her like a dog. *crowd boos* He took twenty years, I could have done it in twenty days, just look at our beautiful First Lady *crowd cheers* And he was very unfair to Poseidon
It’s hard to believe but this is a picture of the United States reflecting pool before the revolution happened. The US was once a very westernized country
Saddened to hear of Akihiro Miwa’s passing. most in the west knew Miwa for voice acting in Ghibli films like Mononoke and Howl, but many will also remember them as a stage & screen actor, a singer/songwriter and a former lover of Yukio Mishima who famously read that man for filth
I understand this is a quite difficult concept but there is no possibility of a sane housing debate until commentators learn that there are rents on vacancies and rents on tenancies and those are different things and do not move in sync or even the same direction at all times.
Dunking aside I think the reason so many people are trying to paint very basic community building in DSA as cultlike/quasi-religious is because the US is so stripped of communities that even our milquetoast efforts at basic civic revival appear alien.
It’s not the first time Mayor Lurie has done this: In Feb. he said a “group of individuals” shouted antisemitic chants at him; it invited national opprobrium & a view that San Francisco was a hotbed of hate.
It wasn’t true. It was a lone, raving woman. Lurie didn’t apologize.
The thing about DSA being a democratic community of equals is that it makes every core member into a strategic thinker, while the system of journals and NGOs paid by capital makes even the leaders of abundance into, at best, Fans of politics
The most obvious answer for “Why is MAGA’s most respectable far right propagandist hiring so many mainstream British political commentators” is “The British press is ram-packed with utterly repellent wingnut cranks” https://t.co/AnVOyrIJLT
I love that I go to a DSA meeting or a tenant assembly or a social housing town hall these days and they are full of people I have never met before. the energy is there. I’m ok letting these mods think they’re safe forever though 🥰
While NYC is busy popping champagne for Democratic Socialists, San Francisco’s lefties are licking their wounds after a moderate takeover. What’s going on?

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW
Wild how every one of these tweets is just an open acknowledgment of a capital strike and committing to repeatedly breaking tenant law. “Nice rent freeze you got, now we will petulantly punish you by not maintaining your building” ok cool you should be stripped of all your wealth
this is news to the California tenants I work with every day who are barely making rent with two jobs and have had to live out of their cars and don’t want anyone else to go through what they have or go through it again themselves
@constans@liamkerr People don’t have time to organize regularly and build community through politics when they have jobs and social lives and hobbies and don’t have parents or partners helping them make rent
He can’t be president but idk maybe he can be emperor of the new socialist western order or something bc look at the joy on the faces of these dudes lmaoooo
When a sitting elected official admits that Israel is committing a genocide after spending years getting people fired for saying the same thing, of course people are gonna be Hella mad at them. You reap what you sow, especially when you sow with the full power of the government.
