“The victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim has ceased to be a victim: he or she has become a threat.” (James Baldwin )

“There is absolutely no way there are only 600,000 homeless people in the US. Does everyone realize there are cities FULL of homeless people all across this entire huge country? There has to be at least 10 times the stated number of homeless here. We are being lied to.” (-American Socialist).

“Once you’ve opened your eyes to our corrupt political system, the hollow propagandizing of mainstream commentary really strikes you.” (-Peter Daou)

“I denounce that the United States government, together with Elon Musk and the international fascist [Argentine President Javier] Milei, are at the forefront of a destabilization process and a coup d’etat, at this moment, against the Venezuelan people and the Venezuelan democracy,” (-Nicolas Maduro)

“Shapiro served during the First Intifada. I am going to lose my shit.” (-Ruth)

“It stands to reason that if the Dems really wanted to defeat Trump they would’ve held a fair Primary, allowed the most popular person to rise to the top to take on Trump. Instead they opted to pick someone who earned no votes, boost them via their Propaganda networks, and pray.” (-Robert Durden“We have a capitalist system that teaches us that there is a democracy in the U.S. because we shift which sector of the ruling class gets to exploit us- Dems or Reps. These ruling class reps are “chosen” not by majority participation from the people or through a democratic process. It is this same system that claims that progressive nation states or socialist nations are not democratic simply because they will not subject themselves to recolonization by US capitalists, and because they take on a collective responsibility with a working class agenda under a people’s party or through a people’s revolution.  

The dictatorship of billionaires is death, at home and abroad. Nothing democratic about such system.” (-Claudia De La Cruz)  

“Fellow American Jews, people don’t hate Josh Shapiro because he’s Jewish. they hate him because he is absolutely fucking garbage. don’t play this stupid coy game every time a Jewish public figure is criticized for being certified dogshit.” (-Soul Khan)

“Kamala should be pressed on her positions on police brutality, incarceration and Palestine in every public forum she’s in. The way that trump was pressed in that conference, which tbh wasn’t even that hard, should be the bare minimum.” (-Phyllis black Marxist)

“Its funny how every country they told us was a VILLAIN is trying to help Palestine and the countries they told us were HEROES are slaughtering them What else have they lied to us about?” (-Ryan Rozbiani)

“There are over 16,000 sanctions on Russia for its special military operation provoked by NATO. There are 0 sanctions on Israel despite a literal genocide being committed by its regime. This is the “rules-based order” the U.S. champions.” (-Danny Haiphong)

“I’m sick of being told to wait to “push corporate-bought Dems left.” After the election. After the first 100 days. After the first year. After midterms. After the NEXT election. Rinse, repeat. FOR DECADES. Why not NOW? Push them NOW, or push them OUT.” (-Zeynab Day)

BROTHERS & SISTERS & FRIENDS OF THE REVOLUTION

 I was worried I’d gotten Covid cause my wife was exposed to it a few days ago and I had aches and pains all day yesterday but I suspect it was just from doing outdoor labor in the hundred degree sun yesterday afternoon. We never eat out since the ruling class quadrupled everything during Covid’s much hyped first wave and tried to blame it on supply chain delays being caused by “PUTIN!” We finally go out and had the worst experience as patrons I’ve ever seen and I never complain and almost always sympathize with the workers. I’m a lifelong shitworker myself. Hell, I even worked at a badly run Pizza Hut franchise with a leaky make table in Maysville, Kentucky years ago. The longtime manager’s sister worked there and did not have to take out garbage ’cause being a Southern Belle, she claimed that was “men’s work”, and the manager let her get away with that shit-she’s smokin’ in the break room while the rest of us are working our asses off. Good ole boy politics.. I’d show up to cook and have to wait outside in the sun for an hour cause no one with keys could be there on time, it sucked. My wife worked at a Pizza Hut in Lima, Ohio and was fired for not showing up in a blizzard when most of the town’s electricity was out. Now, we live in a smalltown with three shitty overpriced Mexican restaurants and a microwaved fish place and an obscenely overpriced steakhouse. I’m vegetarian so on my wife’s birthday we decided to dine in at Pizza Hut. No salad bar, no lemon, no black pepper, no cork boards, NO PRICES ON THE MENU, a rude and obnoxious and crass loudmouth screaming waitress bussed tables as loudly as she could, resentfully slammed plates on our table, made zero effort to be civil, served us old breadsticks, was a basic crasshole, My wife complained to the manager who offered some kinda bad desert that looked like turds as begrudging compensation for all the bullshit treatment but all that stress and ruined vibe still cost us $33. We live in a crumbling desert town where ten fatcat airbandb assholes pretend like it’s some kindof tourist trap getaway, artsy new age, gentrification boomer paradise, but the streets are so damaged it fucks up your car alignment, when a neighbor’s house caught fire, the hydrants did not have adequate water pressure to extinguish it in time, You have to drive two hours outta town to get an MRI cause the hospital sucks, if you need a prescription, the ego drunk God complex doctors run you around and make you take ten blood tests (vampires everywhere!) before ponying up any critically needed medications, it just all sucks top to bottom.,College indoctrinated, middle class, culture war Karens will never get it cause they only get “offended” when topdown media tells them they should, and only ever about gender hysteria, but the real life everyday experience of working class people is being abused by fuckers you are paying, waiting in lines,bagging your own groceries, waiting forever in waiting rooms, getting jerked around, forever held hostage by unscrupulous landlords, monopoly grocery stores, bad service and a fuck you attitude everytime you step outside, while the rich shit on all of us, and the middle class gatekeepers all defend genocide and the criminalization of poverty cause they worship wealth and privilege with their fanatical partisan passions and zero content politics and hate the poor. I sometimes wish I could get the fuck out of this pyramid scheme empire of media illusions and slave driver exploitation masquerading as a country.My restless teen was talking about a job at Wal-Mart where his friends work but I was telling him Wal-Mart sucks, they permanently ruin your knees for shite wages and I should know, “try pizza making, you make lifelong friends, it’s fun”, I told him, but uh, yeah, no. These corporations do not give a fuck about their eemployees, or customers, just ruthless, price gouging, corner cutting, lowest quality possible, evil make a buck greed. They don’t even have salad bars no more. unreal. Fuck The Hut. Murkkka aint a democracy, it’s a slave plantation with bad tv. (-The General)

Ramones: What they mean to me – by Ginger Wildheart | Louder (loudersound.com)

“Full fascism is here, and it’s not going away. The only way capitalists can cling to their power is by creating an ‘in-group’ and scapegoating everyone else, to divide and rule. This was always the result of neoliberalism. This is on Thatcher, Blair, Cameron and now Starmer.” (-Tiberius)

“Lindsey Graham has never seen a war he didn’t think someone else should die in.” (-Gerald Celente)”There’s a difference between being anti-war and anti-imperialist The right wing is a political group that supports imperialism and capitalism Just because they didn’t want to see white people die in Ukraine, doesn’t mean they are against the empire  

Many people who thought these people was on our side are just now realizing this because of the genocide in Gaza and the coup in Venezuela” (-Revolutionary Blackout Network)”Picking Josh Shapiro would be the Democratic Party doubling down on genocide.  

If you support them you are, yourself, endorsing genocide.” (-Chuck)”It’s interesting how Kamala speaks of what she “wants to do,” as if she has not been the VP or hasn’t occupied a seat in the White House for 3 1/2 years; and is if she has had no significant role in the Dem party for years.  

Her record speaks volumes on what she will do and who it will benefit. She will serve capital and U.S. imperialism at the expense of the people – that is what she has done throughout her political career.” (-Claudia De La Cruz)

“We’re in the age of misinformation. Laws are being written to not teach history in schools, massive misinformation campaigns are raging on social media, plus the breakdown of internet search engines. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I’m noticing a pattern. It’s intentional.” (-Ashley Stevens)

“The last thing the US wants is for countries to have sovereignty, freedom or democracy, because that would mean they had the right to their resources, to elect who they want, to choose socialism or to ally with who they want The US will punish a country for any of those things.” (-Black In The Empire)

“Yes, I am old and angry. I remember being in college excited to vote for Obama for healthcare and an end to wars. It’s 2024 and single payer nor M4A happened and wars ramped up. We’re still fighting for the same shit 16yrs later! Hell yeah, I’m mad, why aren’t y’all?!” (-Ashley Stevens)”If the parties are so different from one another here in the US, then why don’t the material conditions of Americans get better over time? If the argument is that one party has more to offer than the other, then why do Americans continue to go further into debt? If voting changes anything, then why can’t most Americans afford a $500 emergency? If the parties represent the people, then why aren’t the people’s best interests prioritized? If we live in a democracy, then why is the police and surveillance state expanding? Why is homelessness becoming illegal? Why are there less and less resources for Americans? Why is poverty increasing? Why do we imprison more people than any other nation? If most Americans don’t want their money funneled into war, then why are we always at war? Why do the parties continue to fund and support wars and genocides, regardless of how many Americans protest it? If the political system in the US works for the people and we should continue to support it, then why are things getting consistently worse and worse for voters?  

Can anyone answer these questions?” (-Just. A. Thought)

“America is a society with almost nonexistent safety nets, so I used to say you have the “right to work” or you can go live under a bridge somewhere, but now they have criminalized being homeless, so you can either work or go to prison, Bc that’s “freedom” under American Democracy/” (-MC Squared)
