that reminds me of this one instagram reel

@NationOfEldia @samah_fadil Are you trying to suggest Israel is genociding Palestinians in defense of the African diaspora? Brightest hasbara soldier lol

[Lisa Pease @lisapease]

Until Democrats stop supporting Israel, they are not the “lesser” evil. They are just the other evil.

@gwenmcdonald1 @realgoodrealhot You're right, as an individual she absolutely has a right to run. People don't want the party apparatus to coalesce around her as it's a waste of energy, resources, time. The complaint is largely at the party and media already amplifying a 2028 run, not at her as an individual

@sxwrkr_ @theoluminati The whole point of our system is that question No. 1 should naturally align with 2 and 3, but the incentives are perverted by money and massive constituencies

[Matthew Lahiff @matthew_lahiff]

This is exactly why 90% of jobs are fake. We could just make/build/do good things that benefit real people in the real world

[Michael @TheMG3D]

Why does it take like 5 minutes for a data center to get approved to be built but years for a public park?

@virtueemoir29 @eternallyRaq She tumbled out of the 2016 primary to single-digit polling. Admittedly, before that, she did gain a small boost from (correctly) calling out Biden's racist policies. Then she became his VP, adopted all his policies, and lost TO TRUMP. She is not a serious candidate

The simple truth is that anyone with anything close to that level of empathy simply wouldn't be able to reach anything close to bezos levels of wealthy, because that amount of money requires unbelievable amounts of human exploitation

@JackMassa05 @charizardavis @mattxiv That would be a better answer than pretending it doesn't exist. Let's see if she addresses it

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

That’s odd. You make your candidates vote to send our Michigan tax dollars to Israel to fund apartheid, genocide, and war. Instead, I’ll be a senator who keeps Michigan tax dollars in Michigan to fund schools, healthcare, and roads…in Michigan.

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Extremely funny country where people get paid to shill against Medicare for All then end up paying it all back in medical bills anyway

When is the last time the government delivered a win in your life?

[Mayowa @Mayoveli]

This cost them about $1 trillion.

The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.

And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

I know I'm always saying this but its insane how much these people hate you. He knows that he's saying bullshit. He knows that we know its bullshit. He also thinks that we just have to sit here and take it.

These are the Democrats. This is the "opposition"

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.

[izzy @redshirt990]

This is actually fucking insane and this is what it's like on twitter

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

They’re using your tax dollars to blow up schools in Lebanon instead of building schools in Michigan.

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

7 years ago today.

It was always painfully obvious this exact outcome would happen, but Democrats just wouldn't listen.

Edward Snowden, speaking in 2015:

"When you say I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide, that's no different than saying I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say, or freedom of the press because I have nothing to write."

[Wally Nowinski @Nowooski]

Detroit used to have a municipal civics curriculum in the public schools. Here’s the 1968 textbook.
