Supreme Court today said:
It’s okay if you get cancer from weed killer
It’s okay if someone brings a gun onto your private property without your permission
It’s okay for hundreds of thousands of people to be stripped of their protective status.
Fuck them

The White House looks like shit.. The East Wing has been bulldozed. The lawns looks like they were used for a Demolition Derby. The Kennedy Center is under a tarp. The Reflection Pond is disgusting and fenced off. Trump has turned the Capitol into a shithole.
The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.
People doing above ground work might think that they’re safe from the sort of horrific government crackdowns on groups like the Prairieland 5, the ELF, the ALF, AIM, etc, but let me remind you that the net of what is considered “out of bounds” is expanding constantly and rapidly.
Both these headlines are from Texas this month.
Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.
horrifying weaponization of the criminal legal system – nobody died, all guns owned legally & only 1 of the 9 defendants fired a weapon, 3 weren't involved in planning & left when guards told them to. One didn't even attend, got 30 years for moving zines.

Here's David Cameron in 2016 explaining that if we leave the EU we'll be economically worse off and so have less money for public services
Here we are in 2026, worse off, and with less money for public services
After Guatemala (1954), Iran (1953), Congo (1961), Chile (1973), and Venezuela (2026), any socialist who thinks the West will allow socialism through liberal democracy is dreaming.
The West loves democracy until people vote against the interests of capital.
Then come the coups, sanctions, and “humanitarian” lies.
And they still ask, “Why don’t socialists come to power democratically?”

“What she did…was to make me think why capitalism is not only efficient and practical, but also moral” - Alan Greenspan, speaking about his guru Ayn Rand in 1974.
It's worth understanding the role that this partnership played in unleashing the savageries of the modern market.
When Greenspan was still working in the corporate sector, Rand’s ideas about the “utopia of greed” infused him with a powerful sense of mission: apparently, making money wasn’t just good for him - it was good for society as a whole.
As for those who got trampled? Rand helped with that too: “Parasites who persistently avoid either purpose or reason perish as they should,” Greenspan wrote.
This mindset served him well as Fed Chair, where he supported shock therapy in Russia (72 million impoverished) and in East Asia after the 1997 economic crisis (24 million pushed into unemployment). Not to mention attacks on welfare and trade unions in the U.S....
JD Vance, with his tight concentric circles of "love," is just the latest manifestation of this worldview.
