Enlightenment Socialism is what happens when socialism is stripped down to its Enlightenment roots, and builds up again from first principles. It starts with a radical truth: Every human is sovereign. Not by decree of a state or corporation, but because dignity is inseparable from simply being alive

Absolutely crazy how Kamala Harris can release a whole book detailing how Biden and his team essentially sabotaged the presidential campaign in an effort to preserve his legacy… And TO THIS DAY you’ll see liberals come on here and blame leftists for “costing her the election”

It’s almost like Trump and his friends think they may need to go to Argentina in a few years or something.

US taxpayers forked about $20 billion to, the pro-Israel / pro-Trump, President Javier Milei of Argentina who then performed a rock concert advertising and celebrating the publishing of his new book.

Meanwhile the average Argentinian is living in extreme poverty. 🧵

I wanted to post this here because it will probably be taken down soon. This is an excerpt from an essay by Brandon King. He was banned from TikTok and I wanted to share some of his work in support. Go give him a follow substack.com/@brandonking...

Honestly the political misery on here is getting so bad that it's making me dread even opening the app. I get that it's often essential but I don't have the spoons for a fraction of it. If I unfollow you in the next couple of days please understand its not you it's me.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Excuse me????
My Favorite Actress Is Not Human Tilly Norwood doesn't need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That's because she's Al.

It’s kinda funny when students book time in the recording studio and think it means they get to come in without supervision and mess around. Like, you really thought you’d be left alone with $100k+ worth of equipment?😂

Because at some point, we should expect more than silence from the protectors of this country’s ideals.

So, to those protectors, I ask again:

What’s on your mind?

But whatever subtext we can gleam from the silence, doesnt matter. Because we cant find solace in silence. What did silence do for Kilmar Abrego Garcia? What good was silence for Mahmoud Khalil? Jonathan Guerrero? Or any person who now has to fear for their life because of the color of their skin?

When the commander and chief, a man who has always reveled in the spotlight, the applause, the praise, tells the military that the very cities they grew up in are the “threat from within,” their silence speaks volumes.

These people who swore an OATH to the constitution. A constitution that says their job is to protect the American people and the very foundation of this country: Liberty, Dignity. They didn’t swear an oath to a king or any one person. So, the silence speaks volumes.

The silence in that room speaks volumes. You have to wonder what’s going through their heads. No matter what you think of the United States military, these men and women take their jobs very seriously. The silence speaks volumes.

If that person actually cared about the things they say they do, they would be educating people instead of vomiting words everywhere and attacking people. But I see it’s a new account so the most likely answer is they’re a conservative troll.

Looking through your profile, I have some advice:

No one is going to take you seriously because it’s so obvious that you’re arguing in bad faith. You have no interest in building community, you just want to be in your little in-group (gets lonely up on that hill, huh?)
