Looks more like a competition: who can be the flamingest flaming a$$hole? & they're all yelling, "Me! Me!"

Wow.

The weird upside-down value system of the right: being awake and aware is bad. Antifa - opposing fascism - is bad. Empathy - simple human decency - is bad. & then they carry on about the Antichrist as if they couldn't so easily find it in their mirror.

Sad but true. This is a sensible thread.

A few years ago, I was representing a leftist family in foreclosure pro bono. I found a couple of procedural errors that I wanted to use to fight the foreclosure, but the clients said no because they believed it would have required us to concede the validity of the capitalist foreclosure process.

"Authorities" have been lying about so much for so long that they've forgotten it's wrong.

😎VISION TO REALITY! Four years ago, I helped launch a new program based on the idea that Somerville should fix up and donate abandoned bicycles instead of just auctioning them off.

Now, in partnership with the YMCA, it’s a reality - learn more here: somervilleymca.org

Imagine if MLK Jr. organized a campaign for poor people. You could even have called it the Poor People's Campaign.

That would never happen.

"The enemy of my enemy may very well also be my enemy" is one of life's most important lessons.

Coach Gowron @coachgowron.com · 9d

The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. Such may be an ally for a time, but friendship requires that someone stands with me against my enemies not because of who my enemy is, but because of who I am. Be worthy of such friends.

This is true. And another international movement can free us all from it.

Yes.

White whine is so delicious, we just can't stay away from the stuff. Another round! Another round!

It was always about elevating unqualified White people to heights astronomically beyond their actual levels of competence. As in the old days when affirmative action was exclusively for White people.

Why is Larson getting attacked by a chimpanzee the funniest part?

Before or after, & as the layers pile up, wondering why their stuff isn't drying. It's a fire hazard, too.
