The reason why some people think the New York Times is a liberal paper is because in like 1986 a far right wing talk radio simpleton called the New York Times a liberal paper. Most American political thought is based on scenarios like this

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

"If you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to hide" as a way to excuse mass surveillance falls flat when you demand the person saying that hands over their personal data to you.

Everyone deserves privacy, what you're doing isnt anyone's business

Facebook launched 22 years ago this week.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% β€” its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

Australian tropical rainforest trees switch in world first from carbon sink to emissions source Researchers say carbon emissions change in Queensland tropical rainforests may have global climate implications

This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I wish we could move beyond "this isn't who we are". to "this is what it is. Now how can we change it?"

Im getting pretty tired of people with capitalist degrees from capitalist universities shitting on people who know more than them on subjects they refuse to learn about

Your degree doesn't make you a better person

Not reading through evidence from marginalized people makes you a sack of shit

People who say they're left leaning are more often than not, just centerists. Not a single progressive bone in their bodies. They do however LOVE the language of progressivism, its very convenient when you want people to think you are a good person

Dems, Leftists are telling you, now, while there's ample time, who we straight up will not vote for.

So do not run them. Do not give them the nom.

We will not vote for them. Period.

We gave you decades of your demands. Now you listen to us.

It’s not my obligation to vote for someone I don’t agree with. It’s the obligation of the party to attract me as a voter. This is a democracy. People have a choice. A lot of people here don’t respect the basic premise of democracy. CHOICE. I’ll write-in YOU for POTUS before I vote for a sellout.

Truly. I am begging white liberals to stop pronouncing the death of democracy or America. This place has always been cruel to the people it knows it can exploit for profit. The only change is that you're on that list now too.

Recording evidence of state violence is great, but you know what’s even better? Taking away their ability to be violent in the first place!

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

A friendly reminder that just because you know propaganda exists, doesn't meant you're not effected by it.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

For non-German speakers:

β€œDear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Data centers target rural communities for lower costs, not to create high-quality jobs, study finds Local governments often tell residents that the power-hungry developments will bring numerous tech jobs to their communities. A new study contradicted that.

"They found that hyperscale data center developers often choose to build in rural communities rather than urban locations, not to create jobs and increase a community's economy, but because of low costs and abundant land."

If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries.

Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots.

Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.
