I like video games and politics. Communist. Chaotic good.

The only solution is communism.

The world’s billionaires now hold more wealth than every country in the world except the U.S. and China—and they'd be even richer if it wasn't for tanking stocks

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg still dominate the billionaire ranks, but their fortunes have taken a hit as S&P 500 losses and boycotts chip away at their wealth.

There's no better representative for capitalism than Donald Trump, yet you have a bunch of liberal anticommunists that insist a corrupt billionaire fascist that inherited his wealth and is using his power to advance his own class interests isn't what capitalism is about.

Catherine Hodes was taken hostage by the PFLP at age 13 while traveling from Israel to the U.S. The experience sparked a lifelong commitment to Palestinian liberation.

She was taken hostage by Palestinians 55 years ago. Now she’s an anti-Zionist activist.

it’s great how any time you say “kamala” on this app random people pop up to do lib denialist bullshit like we didn’t all witness “i’m speaking now” or the parade of dnc-goers plugging their ears. or the thousands of anti-genocide activists @ the dnc. or the surge in support, killed on purpose, or—

I repeat: Can we defund the police, abolish ICE, and cut the military budget yet?

Kevin Foster @kevinhfoster.bsky.social · 14h

Feds arrest one person at the Portland ICE facility at around 7:30. The reason is again unclear, but it was likely for stepping over the blue line. They were dragged into the facility by five agents while one filmed.

If you care about protecting students, the best thing you can do would be to force the government to stop raiding classrooms and to do something to stop school shootings. The only way that you're going to get that is by withholding your labor and making it so that parents can't go to work either.

Why are people putting up with this shit? There are pressure points in multiple industries where everything shuts down if workers refuse to show up. Applies to the railroads, the airports, teachers, the ports, etc. Sure, it's "illegal," but so is everything else that's happening. Shut it down.

Instead of training teachers on what to do if ICE shows up, why doesn't the American Federation of Teachers call a mass strike and shut the entire fucking country down to stop this from happening? If teachers refuse to work, there's no childcare, and the system grinds to a screeching halt.

"The alignment of federal agencies with the letter's suggestions is just the latest evidence of industry influence on ... health and environmental agencies. Several federal agencies — including the EPA and the [FDA] — have former industry executives and lobbyists in key leadership roles."

US manufacturers who asked the incoming Trump administration for a “regulatory reset” have seen roughly 80% of their specific requests acted on in just the first eight months of Trump taking office. The industry asks included loosening air pollution regulations and pausing rulemaking around PFAS.

Trump Admin Acted on 80 Percent of Industry’s Regulatory Requests in 8 Months

Researchers and watchdog groups say the level of industry influence in this administration is unprecedented.

"Normal" is the problem, and it's precisely what's brought us to where we are now. Even survival is going to be dependent on fundamentally changing how we live on this planet and relate to one another. The US is over, and it's probably for the best.

Liberals will see the politicians on their "team" literally send the cops to brutalize peaceful protesters, and exclaim, "No, that's not fascism!" They don't care that cops murder innocent people all the time. They love licking fascist boots, while attacking everyone that calls them out on it.

If you want to call yourself antifascist, you need to oppose all fascists, not just the most blatant, outspoken ones that oppose your political party. Saying that you're "antifa" while cheering on the politicians that are doing this is ideologically incoherent and morally vapid.

It's wild that liberals with have things like "antifa" in their bios, while their skeets indicate support for cops and they endlessly cheer for Dem politicians like Pritzker that are literally responsible for this. They don't seem to understand that fascism is a bipartisan phenomenon.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.
