I want to offer an olive branch to liberals/neo-liberals/centrists in light of how destructive the first week of the new administration has been. Some of what I say might upset you, but I’m trying to get my point across with as much compassion as possible without avoiding the hard truths we (cont.)

we don't have a left wing party, we don't have a center-left party, we don't have a centrist party. we have two parties that don't give a shit about tens of thousands dead in Gaza. mass starvation and devastation. dire state of affairs. I give through www.zakat.org if you want to try and help.

"We're going to lay off 10% of the company to eliminate redundancies."

Four months later...

"What do you mean we can't do this critical task because the only person who knows how to do it is on annual leave? How is it possible that no else in the company knows how to handle it?"

said this before but with YEARS before any primary or election it's insane to already be conceding that you are aware that the Dem party's inclination will be to pick a 99% Hitler and are already pre-defending their pre-disappointment

Governor Walz, why did you endorse Jacob Frey after the insanely corrupt attempt to rug pull Senator Fateh’s DFL endorsement?

The main problem with Jira and productivity software in general is it’s such a powerful and expandable system that any producer can, with the best intentions in the world, transform it into The Hell Machine For Killing All Humans

pretty much everyone understands that a very wealthy person or corporation can subvert democracy by purchasing a politician or even a whole party, fewer people seem ready to accept that if they can do that, then they can just buy the opposition, too

I am disappointed that the DFL has stripped the DFL Endorsement from Senator Omar Fateh, who clearly had overwhelming support at the convention. They met privately and voted to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates. An effort led by Mayor Jacob Frey. 1/

Personally I don’t believe in an afterlife but if such a thing existed and it were in any way just- he would be barred from heaven on account of aiding and abetting a genocide.

slate @pleasebegneiss.bsky.social · Aug 20

potentially the funniest thing he’s said yet

new york times post with picture of frowning donald trump (expression of a sinner) with headline ‘i want to try and get into heaven’: trump gets reflective on ‘fox & friends’ with caption “president trump dialed into “fox &friends” and revealed his newest and truest motivation for brokering an end to the war in Ukraine: he’s worried he might not get into heaven after he dies. “i want to try and get into heaven, if possible,” he explained. “i’m hearing i’m not doing well. i am really at the bottom of the totem pole. but if i can get into heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

Another Zionist talking point is: "If war crimes abrogated nationhood, then Germany won't exist." Of course, not that long ago, there were two Germanys. That abrogation of nationhood was the direct result of...wait for it...crimes against humanity, including genocide.

Newsom can't be President because he's an asshole with bad politics but he can absolutely goad the current President into doing dumb and loud shit and there is no greater need in the moment than a loathsome fuck to anger and annoy the other loathsome fuck

Yeah, my risk level has been the same ever since I first hired on and will probably never change, which makes you wonder how they actually quantify risk lmfao

The silence of the United States media on the murder of Al Jazeera journalists in a targeted attack by Netanyahu & the IDF speaks to the lack of integrity that now pervades our media. To date, Netanyahu & the IDF have murdered over 200 journalists & their families. The cowardice is telling

In a world where International Humanitarian Law was enforced in any meaningful way, Keir Starmer and David Lammy would be sent to the Hague and then to prison for what they've done to the people of Palestine.

Isreal could not be doing its genocide without the US.

There is no such thing as defensive weapons for a genocidal state.
