The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

Let this week be yet another reminder that plutocrats are a threat to democracy, not its saviors.

This horrible tragic thing that you’re witnessing today has an historic precedent.
I’d like to capitalize on everyone’s outrage by suggesting you buy my book, in which I just so happen to be right and correct in having predicted this tragedy, which, if you think about it, is what truly matters.

We leftists need to start applying the term “bootlicker” toward those on the left who are falling on their swords to protect abusers. It’s so pathetic.

Israel has been using AI to mass target Palestinians for years. It has used the genocide in Gaza to accelerate this technique, ramping up the speed of AI targeting to create what Israeli journalists called a “mass assassination factory”.

I am saddened to hear the news of Michael Parenti’s passing at 92. His books and unflinching commitments encouraged me to take seriously what it means to be an anti-imperialist Marxist. Today we are witnessing how right he was about the depravities of empire. If we choose to, we can learn from him.
