Disaster capitalism 101. Never let a tragedy or disaster go to waste. They are profiting off your hate. They will profit off his death. And they dont care how many of us and our children have to follow him. But they will profit. Not you. Not us. Who do you work for?

You can't budget your way out of systemic poverty and exploitation. Are we really still doing "financial education will set you free" in 2025.

What if next time we shut down traffic at the real courthouse on like an actually business day? And we don't announce it ahead of time?

Democrats are worthless, with or without a majority. They share the blame with Republicans for this current fuckery. It all needs to be toppled.

The dems trying to campaign by matching the fascist rhetoric with more militarism and American exceptionalism, makes this type shit inevitable. Schumer was just out there last week calling Trump a pussy for trying to cut a deal.

The empire is a one party state. The Dems are controlled opposition to give our fascist state some plausible deniability. How many months did the Biden admin support the slaughter of Gazan children? We will never have anything nice.

Half assed capitulation to fascism. More of the same from the uniparty. "Bad orange man didnt ask Congress for approval. But we totally agree the US should continue to support the genocidal, expansionist policies of the ethnostate of Israel. Even at the risk of a global conflict"

Of who having the majority in congress? The blue genocide team as opposed to the red one? Wake the fuck up! The empire does not care about your stupid elections.

HR Ryan @hrryan.bsky.social · Jun 21

Whole lotta leftists on this site having a hard time grasping the importance of having the majority in Congress. Kinda funny because it's affecting everyone's daily lives in a huge way. You'd think they'd notice.

It’s not a funny little meme, it’s not a cynical shitpost, the United States is the greatest threat to peace on earth. Americans need to get it through our thick skulls that we are hated the world over and deserve that hatred.

When people say “we deserved 9/11” they’re not saying it to be edgy or shitty, they say it because of situations like what is happening right now.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Can we at least not act like the other option was any less genocidal or unhinged? We need to stop pretending this issue of a flailing empire can be fixed by voting for the blue war criminals.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · Jun 22

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
