That said, history has no examples of your approach working, so I maintain my initial argument

Have fun with your wishful thinking amidst civilizational collapse

Just to keep track, you're shifting your argument from "this person doesn't understand DPF/MMT" to something like "we disagree fundamentally"

I just want to note that just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they didn't understand you

Simply put, your economic proposal is an attempt to redress the more rapacious aspects of capitalism without undoing capitalism

Capitalism is antagonistic to all life on this planet

Or do we not have that shared understanding?

Miss me with your strawman arguments

I'm an intersectional Marxist Leninist and you're articulating an economic framework which hastens environmental collapse

Don't get it twisted

Seeing my folk defend Kamala lets me know we have so much more work to do

This woman did nothing for black folk and put more of us in prison than any other comparable politician

That's aside from her complicity in the genocide. Who needs strong black leadership when you have sycophants like this?

“YOUR LEGACY WILL ALWAYS BE GENOCIDE”

Last night, multiple protestors called out former Vice President Kamala Harris during her book tour stop in D.C.

Kamala Harris says she isn’t the president, but she was vice president while bombs rained on Gaza and got $5 MILLION from AIPAC

Great in theory (and MMT), but this line of thinking sees the world as an infinitely exploitable resource rather than leading people towards a sustainable degrowth economy

Let me be super fucking clear

You cannot support sex worker rights if you don't also support trans people, non white people, immigrants, drug users, disabled people, women, queer/gay people, and poor people and human rights in general

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

Also, kinda fascinating that the last major measles outbreak was during the previous administration...

I am grateful to Ezra Klein for demonstrating over and over how liberals got us here. The constant appeal to the right by throwing away both principles and the most marginalized. Constantly coming around to an issue too late & only after you’ve helped destroy actual opposition. He’s a case study.

I relistened this conversation this morning. I think you should too. The way how Ta-Nehisi confronts Ezra with his positionality and with way he is throwing one disenfranchised community after another under the bus for the sake of "political strategy" is beautiful.

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago.

There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

Beyonce & Jay-Z held a fundraiser where they seated themselves next to Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump.

When will the poor have as much class solidarity as the billionaires?

The fact he wasn't fired for this shows exactly just how asymmetric everything in the media is right now. He was literally advocating mass murder and said "just kill them."

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.
