I don't vote for people who commit or support genocide. Guess I'm a member of the "Litmus Test Left".

Joe Biden needs to break with Apartheid Israel now, or lose to Trump in November. It's that simple.

I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that Ben Franklin was a slave owner.

Hope they do better than Oligarch Musk and his exploding rocket ships.

@eris

I wouldn't call them "our" police.

@WarnerCrocker

I have a poor attention span. I keep getting distracted by the genocide in Gaza.

@maskedscheduler

You realize we live in an Oligarchy?

@rchusid @florida_ted

Corporate Democrats embraced so-called "Never Trumpers", who were right wing neocons. And the Democratic Party moved further to the right.

A mob of enraged Christians lynched Hypatia in 415. She was a martyr for Reason.

I'm an atheist and a student of ancient history. I think it's safe to say that there was a historical Jesus Christ. The Roman historian Tacitus writes that followers of a certain Chrestos, who had been crucified in Palestine, had caused disturbances at Rome in Nero's time. Christ was one of numerous "messiahs" who arose in the first century. The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus describes several of them. Funny cartoon, though.

@godpod

Sorry, God. I guess you've never heard of the Republican Party.

@aral
Who are these people? Everybody knows Oligarch Musk has turned Twitter into a hate speech playpen for Nazis.

@pallenberg
A country that has an insane "defense" budget of 800+ billion dollars can't afford high speed rail. Or universal healthcare. Or free college. Or safe infrastructure.
Private military contractors gorge themselves on taxpayer dollars, having purchased the House and Senate.
