It is BIZARRE to hear this woman actually making sense when she's been a nutbar her entire time in congress.

The fact that she's starting to make sense while the Dems are choosing to instead do MORE bloody infighting is utterly insane.

WTF are the Dems even THINKING?

MTG is running circles around the most progressive democrats and I’m wondering how they let that happen

Marge making even more sense with Tim Dillon on Congress failing to address the cost of living/health care prices… and the truth about what’s really in the Epstein files. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

You see how the Democrats treat progressives cause I see zero policy changes to reflect the reality of a lot of ppl’s lives. Neoliberals run the party

As long as their capital accumulation isn’t threatened they don’t give a fuck who is in office.
These are the same ppl who called the police on students protesting genocide so they can fuck all the way off

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.

Fascism is not bipartisan, the people insisting this are the latter day version of this:

No there’s no such thing as a prostate exam for the president of the United States. That doesn’t even make sense

I doubt it was without warning. The man has the best healthcare in the world and a private doctor with all sorts of premium medical staff. Am I supposed to believe they all missed prostate cancer? A cancer that is the #1 in men so I would think a prostate exam yearly would catch it

The promise of AI is being weaponized against labour. The fear they are fomenting has to do with AI replacing labour. From what I understand it’s not nearly that developed but that doesn’t stop investors from pumping more money into AI

AI in education amplifies existing biases against marginalized or vulnerable groups

AI in education is not evidence-based but based on speculation and proof of concept claims

Even if you think that China's reasons for this are selfish, the fact is that they're making allies of people whom the west has spend centuries exploiting. This is political chess, and China's winning.

I’m not saying China is good. Nope.
What I’m saying is nature abhors a vacuum and the West left the Global South ripe for picking because they didn’t think much of them. And now the minerals the West need for tech are more and more in the hands of China
The West already lost

So I don’t know which drugs these western leaders are on but they already lost the game. And they did so by building up the global south—the area most disrespected by the West and ripe for plunder.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Barron Trump tipped for top TikTok job

While we were fighting wars, giving tax breaks on capital accumulation and defunding public services, China built theirs up. Good infrastructure is something you have to invest in maintaining and it automatically increases productivity
Remember that when these men in media talk about the budget

I don’t know what delusion the West is under because China already has the game wrapped up.
They built a bridge across the Demerara River and it’s well-built and high enough for ships to pass. The Chinese are the top bridge builders in the world.

Guyana has really changed. There’s a construction boom, people are getting taller (health outcomes), and infrastructure. The Chinese are building in Guyana and the only Western companies are fast food giants and the Hard Rock Cafe, bigger nicer homes, newly paved roads
