One of the key principles to understand about our society--which is not taught in law schools, or any other school--is this: (1) when local governments do things that capital doesn't like, state governments usually override it; (2) when state governments do something capital…

I asked the Andrew Cuomo ‘canvasser’ sitting on the corner of my polling site watching YouTube on his phone why he isn’t handing out the lit materials and he said “I’m being paid either way and don’t like the man” lmao

Jesus preached that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to know Heaven. Hearing this, our billionaires in Christ have outlawed needles for discrimination against rich people.

“You can’t blame people for having rich parents.” Sure but you absolutely can blame them for how naive they are about how the rest of the 99% lives. The empathy only flows one way. They don’t care about the poors and it shows up in everything they say and do.

As of 8:47pm, I have received 31 emails from Cornell asking me to participate in today’s Giving Day. I wouldn’t mind nearly as much if my email inbox wasn’t also interspersed with notifications from the university that all of the job searches I’ve applied to have been canceled.

I cannot tell you how many people promise you that you can create any life you want with enough tenacity and hustle and grit and what most of them really mean is luck, inherited wealth, safety nets, a high income partner, whiteness, and an able body.

Therapists will be like “Yeah I know how to treat mental illness” and then only know how to treat irrational thinking, having no idea how to help people whose mental illness is actually a reasonable and proportional response to objective reality

Cutting Medicaid is domestic terrorism. I don’t know what else you’d call it. No thinking Christian could think Jesus would cut millions of sick people off from their medicine.

The Democrats decided very self consciously to shed their image as a labor party in the 1980s and 1990s in favor of the professional managerial class so yeah of course the working class vote is now divided.

The tragic comedy of billionaires using money that should have been taxed to fund democracy to buy themselves offices to give themselves still more tax cuts.

The majority of Americans are non-voters, not Trump voters, that is true. But the majority of Americans have decided that their vote doesn't matter, that the most basic aspect of democracy is worthless, which is itself a kind of mandate for Trump's brand of fascism.

pretty much every major city in america has a republican mayor who cosplayed as a democrat in order to win and yet every suburban idiot thinks their closest city is run by a socialist.

The New York Times is trash at this point. I’ve watched it go from being a cultural touchstone to an object of constant derision in my lifetime as a millennial and it’s because they divested from actual journalism to make this kind of garbage a daily offering.

personally i think the wildest thing about the increasing tension we all feel is that the ruling class could simply choose to blink. nobody is forcing them to continue making things worse! they could diffuse the tension rapidly if they really wanted to!
