American techno-capitalism is destroying communities, polluting water, and causing soaring electrical rates all so some dumbshit in his mom’s basement can make funny Ai videos about cats with 5 paws.
Apple has fallen from the tree
I was listening to a podcaster rip into this fascist regime today, but from the specific viewpoint of Apple’s involvement in it. I agreed with everything he said. Cook has not only tarnished his image but Apple’s as well, removing apps at Trump’s command and awarding him with a trophy for who knows what. Not to mention Cook’s $1 million homage to the king. So I need to either stand by my principles or admit that I’m a tech hypocrite.
This regime’s contempt for the rule of law is unprecedented.
It can only be explained by accepting that the goal of Project 2025 is complete domination of America, and eventually of the world.
We’ve permitted the wealthy to buy anything they want, including nations and their citizens.
To be truly human
I’ve always wished I could live my inner self as a gentle person. Instead, my life involded the military, law enforcement, even radical protestation. But if you’re the kind of person I really wanted to be, emapthetic, a companion animal to other animals of all kinds, compassionate and kind, you should watch The Famoius Last Words of Jane Goodall on Netflix. If you don’t have Netflix, find a friend who does and watch it together.
Let’s scrap the National Anthem. It’s total bullshit now. Land of the free and home of the brave? Give me a break. We need an anthem that accurately reflects the times. May I nominate:
I’m amused when news people say that Trump was elected over concerns about rising costs and health care.
No, he wasn’t.
He was elected, or more correctly put into office, because his supporters hate the same things Trump hates, most having been told by Trump who and what to hate.
The closest religion gets to science is that it employs the first two steps of the scientific method, it observes a thing and formulates a hypothesis to explain it. But then it gets lazy and accepts the hypothesis as fact without making any effort to test it.
ICE are domestic terrorists, period. Myself and millions of other Americans have taken a non-expiring oath to defend the country against domestic terrorists.
Let’s get to doing that before it’s too late, if it isn’t already.
Peace is woke.
The Constitution is woke.
Empathy and love are woke.
Decency and morality are woke.
I’m fucking woke. You?
Now that it’s clear that no one but a baptized, born again MAGAt is safe from the ICE Gestap, I want everyone who opposes this fascist regime to speak up and act up.
Don’t think if you don’t make trouble they won’t notice you. They will.
Stop cowering and take a stand. They can‘t fight us all.
We talk about how foreigners are no longer safe in America. Sadly, Americans are not safe in America. No one but the wealthy, white, racist, xenophobic traitors to the country are safe in America.
Why has Kimmel become the poster boy for anti-censorship?
What happened to Colbert?
Anybody remember what happened to him?
The argument against government censorship shouldn’t be laser focused on one man or one incident. Remember them all, mention them all, from Lenny Bruce and George Carlin on.
From 9/11 to 11/9
How did we get here? 9/11 shocked us as a nation. We thought we were safe over here away from all the bad guys. But when we found out we weren’t, we panicked and allowed the government free rein to do whatever it took to keep us safe. That’s brought us to today. A fascist regime destroying America for “our safety” with the tools we allowed them to build. The enemy is no longer “over there”.
We’ve had enough
This Saint Charlie Kirk is bullshit. Any Democrat who refuses to say so needs to go. Maybe the whole Democratic Party needs to go. The GOP went Trump, we need to go anti-Trump. They’re trying to take this country away from us, we need to wrench it back. No mercy, no cooperation. No more strongly worded letters.
Trump has managed to expand his already massive ego to the entire government.
Because he sees himself as the country, anything that offends him he thinks offends the entire country, and he’s using the resources of the government to exact revenge.
When praising America he’s praising himself.
Remember what Republicans are saying now in an effort to harass and punish liberals for “celebrating” Kirk’s death.
Because we can throw it all back at them when Biden passes away.
The right is wrong. The left is right.
That is all. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The Sunday Not-So Funnies
I expect that this Sunday nearly every “news” program will ignore the fascist coup in America and instead host radical, misinformed, shit-stirring Republicans who will manufacture a narrative that permits them to blame Kirk’s death on Democrats and further motivate their base to violence. Ignoring solid evidence to the contrary, they’ll blow out of all proportion the very few political and mass killings committed by their favorite targets of hate, while ignoring or downplaying the fact that the shooters have been primarily young, white, males, radicalized by hate mongers like Kirk.
If one killing is unacceptable but multiple killings are ignored, you aren’t mourning the victim of that one killing.
You’re upset at an attack on your ideology. The victim isn’t really important.

With apologies to Woody Guthrie, the new anthem of the right: 🎼This land ain’t your land, this land is our land, from the Redwood forests to the Gulf of America…this land was made for white folk only.🎶
