I get that she’s a cofounder and all, but did NBC REALLY need to go with a picture of a white woman for THIS specific article? 🤦🏻

To the surprise of zero sane people 😮‍💨🤬

Big if true

“Corporations are bad because they’re greedy” doesn’t read like materialism to me,

Not to me either, but “profiteering equals overproduction and so does regulatory capture” sure does.

Or maybe you’ve never read anything

Yeah, because that’s the ONLY way to disagree with your reductionist theory: to not be aware of it 🙄

They’re not overproducing. They’re cost cutting and exploiting workers, neither of which is an act of production.

And no, I don’t think I’m gonna be wasting any more time reading monist theory such as materialism than I already have.

I prefer NOT trying to cram the whole world into one specious binary.

No, greedy corporations cutting corners, firing people, and raising prices don’t cause overproduction.

Stop trying to cram unrelated 21st century real world problems into your oversimplified 19th century framework of false dichotomies.

It’s not an overproduction crisis. It’s an escalating greed crisis paired with a disappearing guardrails crisis caused by a kakistocracy.

And even if the incarceration itself doesn’t ruin your life, having an arrest on your record likely will.

Increasingly, companies screen applications for jobs automatically, rejecting anyone with a criminal record of any kind.

These systems rarely if ever distinguish between lawful and unlawful arrests and they sure as hell don’t ignore breaking of inherently unjust laws.

That body IS too bootylicious for me, babe.

You don’t know his life. He might be MUCH older than he looks and have fled the Famine of 79 🤷

Actually, he’s been very useful to fossil fuel interests too, often tag teaming with Joe Manchin to fight for their right to kill us all with impunity and ever-increasing profits.

So he has TWO uses, both of which are awful.

WANTS to?

They’re been doing it since day 1.

Btw,

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has embarked on a spending spree, signing contracts worth up to $25 million for a smorgasbord of spy technology: social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools, and more.

It’s nothing new for ICE to use these to find people to deport

was already more than enough reason to disband it BEFORE the rest of the government went full fascist.

“Holocaust education is too successful, it made the kids anti-holocaust while Israel is trying to do one,” quipped one prominent critic.

they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews,” she added, “…so when on TikTok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it’s not surprising that they think, ‘Oh, I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel, you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.’”

Well, duh! That’s the truth of the matter. Very on-brand for a genocide apologist to be against people learning to spot obvious similarities between systematic ethnic cleansing and other systematic ethnic cleansing.

Where Is My Mind by The Pixies starts playing

That’s what I mean by penal slavery.

The reason I only included Clinton rather than every president who has benefitted from prison slave labor (which as you say is all of them), is that to my knowledge he’s the only one who basically had house slaves provided to his home by the state prisons…

Special mention for Bill Clinton who benefited from penal slavery in the governor’s mansion while governor of Arkansas.

And this sack of shit was confirmed unanimously with no abstentions 🤬

The kids yearn for robots.

I know I did back in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid. Perfect example of a monkey paw wish, though, as fascists gonna fasc

Reminder: like Adams before him, Cuomo is the DNC-backed candidate.

Way to back the criminal right wing scumbags, Dem establishment! 🤬
