For the planners: mark your calendars, for the type-b chillers, bank this one away in the group chat. Be ready to roll up with the crew, to conspire over another year of blasting the doors off the Bay’s tech-landlord-do nothing elite. Pull up and PARTY for our ONE YEAR BDAY!

Empirically so. As this study shows, the existence of the Soviet bloc disciplined western capital and its political functionaries to a level hitherto unseen before ot after. You just have to look at the world in 2026 to understand how shackled the USSR kept western capital.

The first major university that publicly commits to a total AI ban in its undergrad teaching (no AI in class, in creating syllabi or class prep, creating & completing assignments, or grading) and makes that part of its brand will see a major surge in applications & enrollment.

If you work for a living, your share of GDP has never been lower

If you hoard capital for a living, your share of GDP has never been higher

so rent control made housing cost less?

@sorenmau I was looking at this recently, but unsure about it since I haven't read it yet https://t.co/09hPkvHjhe

The vast majority of Americans under 50 fantasize about this every single hour tbh

[Peter Frase @pefrase]

I wrote about Zohran, in the perhaps vain hope that I could add something beyond the tired DSA "left vs. right" debates about how we relate to our elected officials.

[Chris O'Kane @chrisokane_nyc]

The relationship between western marxism and the academy was accidental and contingent. So someone should write a proper study of how marxism entered the academy in the 70s and 80s and how it relates to the construction of western Marxism as an academic tradition.

Does no one else see in these videos the most terrifying premonition for all of human civilization?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

[Justin Gilmore @prouns_]

The thing I don't get/irony about the current "Western Marxism" haters is their emphasis on theory as the consequential historical element that led us to the current dead end. Class struggle is nowhere to be found in their gripes. Instead, everything hinges on well-placed ideas.

33,000 military veterans are currently homeless.

Such an unconventional way to welcome liberators but perhaps this is their custom

[Madelaine Hanson @MadelaineLucyH]

I love these goofy anti-education losers because they think you just rocked up with a chisel at 18 and someone said 'ok so do what you want, enjoy, cathedral there please'. The guilds and apprenticeships were hardcore. It was a degree, as we'd understand it, and highly specialised

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.

Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.

The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

“They have stolen my harvest and taken everything from us they’ve left us with absolutely nothing. They’ve destroyed our identity.”

A Palestinian grandfather cries after Zionist settlers destroyed his olive groves and stole the olives in Tulkarem (West Bank).

BREAKING: At tonight’s NYC-DSA electoral forum, @AOC committed to voting against “any spending on arms for Israel, including so-called defensive capabilities.”
