Step 1: Execute all billionaires and their enablers.
I'm here willing to read anything someone puts together that details how we can get from here to there
I'm all for universal healthcare. Tell me how we get there.

Throughout the 19th century UK would proscribe Irish independence movements, so they changed their name, proscribed again, change name again, repeat.
I get that it's illegal to be a member of Palestine Action. It shouldn't be but it is. I'm not sure saying you support Palestine Action is though.
Surely there'd have to be some actual support beyond saying it? Am I now likely to be arrested if I say I support Greta Thunberg?
Ridiculous country

ABC/CBS/NBC have been third rate imperial propaganda outlets for over 30 years. Their coverage of 90s sanctions on Iraq were atrocious. 9/11 made them even worse.
Blue MAGA are just angry CBS cut an anti-Trump story. If the situation was reversed they'd be at brunch. See Libya.

“please stop supporting a genocide” is not asking for perfection
This is exactly the point. You elect a leader that you CAN work with and influence *AFTER* they're in power. Demanding perfection and guarantees during a campaign is nuclear level idiocy. Hurts candidates & causes.
Biden was talked into far more progressive actions in office than he campaigned on.

The Name of the Rose remains an outstanding film and is a most faithful adaption of Umberto Eco's book.

You are getting hosed. Section 230 IS the internet. When that goes, so does the internet as we know it. You are taking a bad ecosystem and making it worse.
But this has been explained to you, time and time again. You don't care. You just want power for power's sake.

I stood at the grave of my great grandfather in Flanders. His grave is one of millions from WWI in Belgium alone. We must take the lessons from history and resist this march to mass slaughter and warmongering by the likes of Mark Rutte.

What is going on at the BBC?
This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time
"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"
Chair says "have English as a second language"
Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

Shameful. Have a listen to Micheál Martin's disgraceful response to my question about the hunger strikes.
The pro-Palestine hunger strikers in Britain are heading towards death.
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael would clearly like to follow the example of the British state. We can't allow them.

The House Democratic caucus split three ways on the motion to table (i.e, motion to table) Al Green's resolution to impeach Trump.
140 Democrats voted against killing it.
43 Democrats joined Leadership in voting present.
These 23 voted with Republicans. Shame on them.
