Well... this was inconvenient to learn. I guess I'll see you all in the apocalyptic aftermath, right? Because I'm certainly not going to heaven... 😉 *lol*

This terrible person decided to punish her daughter by reselling tickets to a #TaylorSwift show because of the Harris endorsement. Reselling them costs Swift nothing and hurts her not at all. If you worship #Trump so much that you want to hurt your own daughter, you're in a cult.

Everyone should be doing this. If companies want you on call and checking your messages after hours, they need to pay for your time. How did Americans get so weak and willing to be exploited?

Video is from #RelatableAnimation on Facebook.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1966 #StarTrek had its première. 58 years later, the franchise continues to make excellent and optimistic content about human potential.
Also, as a side note to go with the couple of menschen below, it's also #BernieSanders's 83rd birthday.

Sometimes it seems that social media companies are paving the way to a fascist dystopia by showing how easily speech against the dominant power structure can be suppressed.
Anyway, apparently an American historian critiquing American society is now called racist hate speech...

Americans are among the most deluded and propagandized people on Earth. They're convinced they are free and prosperous because the teevee tells them they are. Yet all we're doing is accepting wage-slavery to make a predatory minority rich.

Sexual violence has been a feature of the Zionist/Palestinian conflict for 76 years. For decades we have had a steady torrent of testimony from Palestinians assaulted while in Israeli detention, including from those charged with no crime, yet the state faces no sanctions for it.

Hey, @JoeBiden & co! If there is a threat to your forces, but the country has been asking them to get tf out for years, maybe instead of killing more people you could get the fuck out of their country? The US is an imperial occupying force and Iraqis have a right to self defence.

At #RNC, #KimberlyGuilfoyle seemed to imply the #DDay invasion of German-occupied France was about fighting #communism. NSDAP was as anti-communist as the GOP while USSR was our ally. She's confusingly talking about different things since she can't exactly call out #fascism...

More than five dozen billionaires are backing Trump for president, and people across the country, worried about high inflation and low incomes, are falling for the same old fascist lies. Right-wing populists promise the moon but deliver only chains.

This disgusting display comes from #PatriotFront stormtroopers, complete with American flags adorned with the 'fasces' symbol. Patriot Front is a #WhiteSupremacist, #neofascist group that split from #neonazi group #VanguardAmerica. This is Trump's base.

Just another day in the American #PoliceState. Anyone not angry enough to organize for systemic change is a part of the problem we must overcome. If #liberals can't be woken up to their complicity, permanent #fascist rule is inevitable.

Candace Owens is a fantastically stupid person who falls for the worst ideas and then normalizes them for incel idiots with a third-grade reading level. Calling science a "pagan faith" and saying flat-earthers may be right would be pretty funny if she didn't have a big audience.

The Israeli left has been near death for a long time. Whether this helps or hurts is hard to say, but the current Knesset has eleven right-wing parties and two tiny left-wing ones, and the road back to relevance is blocked so long as occupation persists.

#DonaldTrumpJr tried to deny his father's connexion to #JeffreyEpstein, despite all the photos of them together. But thanks to the Maxwell prosecution, we can see Trump's name in the flight logs for Epstein's 'plane. All the #MAGA pricks are projecting their own love of grooming.

I was discussing average #wages in the US and our declining living standards yesterday with my mother and just saw this cute meme that makes the point well. Take these figures, then look at https://livingwage.mit.edu/

US workers didn't achieve an 8-hour work day until 1937. Productivity rises since that time are vast but we're still accepting the same work-life balance in order to let nearly all those gains acrue to the owner class. It's time to stop licking boots and take what's owned to us.

(1/2) When #FDR issued #EO9066, #FredKorematsu, a native-born US citizen, refused. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1942, he was arrested, convicted, and sent to a #ConcentrationCamp in Utah. He appealed and #SCOTUS ruled that denial of #CivilLiberties on the basis of race was legal.

(2/2) Do not use "#internment", as #ZinnProject does, to refer to incarceration of #JapaneseAmericans, as it perpetuates the #racist logic of the order. Internment is for prisoners of war. These Americans were put in concentration camps because of race.

Here's a reminder that #racism isn't just a problem of #Republicans or #conservatives, but of the right overall, which includes #neoliberals and many #Democrats. They never say this shit about white candidates. This is white resentment politics and kneejerk #WhiteSupremacy.
