I'm always shocked to find out someone like Rahm Emmanuel doesn't know any trans women. What a loser
Megyn Kelly: “Can a man become a woman?” Rahm Emanuel: “No.” @megynkelly: “That’s so easy! Why don’t more people in your party just say that?” @RahmEmanuel: “Because I’m now going to go into a witness protection plan.”
The Abundance debate and discussion you didn’t know you needed w @IsabellaMWeber, @BigMeanInternet, @PEWilliams_. The book; the discourse; the underlying economic and political questions; the actual but mystified capitalist social relations. Bringing light, not heat. Link below👇
I guess using Robinson–Patman to defend abused suppliers from concentrated retailers is a little ironic and confusing (but not really if you've been following the issue)
The George Mason line is really "Firms can't act anti-competitively; there's too much competition for that 😃"
This dramatizes how handcuffing a deaf person who uses sign is effectively gagging them
AWFUL scenario. Border Patrol agents raided a car wash and arrested a DACA recipient working there. He has a REAL ID, but they didn't even let him show his ID, they just grabbed him and threw him in a van. He was then detained for a MONTH before getting bond.

The NELK Boys — a Canadian frat-bro YouTube crew turned Trump-adjacent merch empire — just sat down with Israeli PM Netanyahu. Their intro —> “I see so much about what’s going on Israel and Iran and Palestine. And to be honest, I just really don’t know what’s going on there. So…
"They charge such low prices that no one can compete, that's why they can charge high prices" is the kind of contradiction that nonetheless characterizes everyday life under the capitalist mode of production.
The Israelis are holding trucks full of food outside while a whole population starves. And they're doing it thanks to the unified support of every element in mainstream American politics.
I wrote about venture capitalist Shaun Maguire, his accusations that Zohran Mamdani is a "secret Islamist," and his emergence as a leading right wing voice in the tech industry. businessinsider.com/shaun-maguire-…
It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
