What are the odds that an eagle attacks a cat which is defended by a goat, all in front of a camera, and conveniently wrapped up in 4 seconds?? Have some fuckin critical thinking. Of course fuckin snoop is celebrity patient zero on this particular clip

Depressing number of anti-AI celebrities inadvertently reposting fake cute animal videos on Instagram clearly labeled "Sora" and it's obvious they don't know and fuck we're really cooked when it starts to come to unlabeled riot footage nefarious actors (the regime) are going to start pumping out

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

No other book better synthesized for me all the strands of American history, of enslavement and capitalism, of the power relationships between the colonies and states and how they were warped by the original sin of slavery. Must read. (hard read)

The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave-Breeding Industry. “Instead of treating slavery as a source of unpaid labor, as it is typically understood, they focus on the ownership aspect: people as property, merchandise, collateral, and capital.” [kottke.org]

Sen. Bernie Sanders, -Vt., on Thursday released a sweeping immigration plan that would impose a moratorium on deportations, "break up" existing immigration enforcement agencies, grant full welfare access to illegal immigrants and welcome a minimum of 50,000 "climate migrants" in the first year of a Sanders

"When I am in the White House we will stop the hatred towards our immigrant brothers and sisters, end family separation, and locking children up in cages. We will end the ICE raids that are terrorizing our communities, and on my first day as president, I will use my executive power to protect our immigrant communities and reverse every single horrific action implemented by Trump," he said.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour and hasn't been raised in 16 years. They've got people fighting a culture war so they're too distracted to fight a class war.

I believe that pleasure shared is pleasure doubled. I believe that pain shared is pain halved. I believe we're all in this together and I don't end where you begin. I believe that love is more powerful than hate. I believe a better world is possible.
