@JMGreerWriter 1 The US will NOT give up Global Hegemony. 2 Leaving the middle-east with 20% of world oil production would be giving up. 3 Either Iran must be degraded thoroughly enough that it can't attack. (Impossible?) Or 4 The US will leave the middle-east when there is no more production

I think Trump’s handlers and the Israelis both believed that the Iranian regime was much more fragile than it has turned out to be, and thought that a decapitation strike would result in a popular uprising and the end of the mullahocracy. They gambled on that, and lost. Now the Israelis are simply trying to weaken Iran as much as possible, while Trump is looking for an offramp that will let him claim victory and get out. Since the US gets next to no oil from the Persian Gulf, he’s also hoping to unload some of the costs of defending the Gulf states onto Europe. We’ll see how it plays out.

@mmementomoriDG Women's march was the biggest ever and we got nothing because we demanded nothing. We've obviously learned nothing.

@Ewest_1 Same for me... And I'm wondering how the Free Speech crowd ignores 40K Iranians being killed in 2 days for free speech for their freedom & don't bat an eye.

There would be no need for No Kings Rallies if you had voted for the Black lady. Don't @ me about genocide Trump told you he supported Netanyahu. I'm not sure what you thought that meant. Now, here we are & instead of attacking GOP on a daily basis, you go after Dems 🙄

@Penny_J_Thomas Yeah Betsy, if the right are the only ones yelling at these worthless D's, they're gonna move further right. This is a very basic function of politics and life in general. Very, very basic.

@future_widow @CatManMarx @clockstiqqun Its really biology - you cant plan and organize a revolution when your prefrontal cortex is in crisis. Your brain cant let you. Revolution isnt a basic human need, and thats all there is space for during crisis.

@MrsOWalker @CatManMarx @clockstiqqun yeah, and too many workers are just a couple missed paychecks away from homelessness. the homeless have their role to play, they're just not *the* revolutionary fulcrum. they're fractured & in survival mode with the weight of the state constantly bearing down on them

I've been talking to a good amount of homeless people just on my time off to propagate communist ideas (and hopefully build a council) and this group is by far the most revolutionary segment of the working class, just completely disorganized

@dickdollars3 @CatManMarx @DecolonialMarx Most homeless people live in their cars or motels, or they couch surf. Your best bet to reach them is to talk to the social workers and administrators that work in your local elementary schools. They know who's who and what your local community needs are.

@dickdollars3 @CatManMarx @DecolonialMarx I'm a community organizer and I run shelters in a major city. The chronically homeless (aka street homeless) are not a viable demographic here. Their brains live in crisis, the PFC isnt functioning correctly bc their basic human needs arent met.

Hot take: a big part of the disconnect between liberals and leftists regarding No Kings is that a lot of leftists just don't really care about democracy that much. Election integrity doesn't feel like a "real issue" to them because their ideal leader doesn't have to be elected.

I keep waking up too early and despite being incredibly tired my body refuses to fall back asleep. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

@Ecliptic_09 @Angry_Staffer Law enforcement has no motivation or ability to stop them (and they are also guilty of wage theft). They can really only stop themselves, legally. The same way only they can stop themselves from blatant stock manipulation and insider trading.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

@legithillbilly @singingsox Really? There were (are) outdoor concerts and ball games that were (are) considered superspreader events. Lots of transmission at outdoor weddings and graduations also.

@singingsox I did contact tracing for nearly 2 years during the height of COVID and rarely found any spreading from outdoor events. Even daily train use on subways where the doors open periodically didn’t generate cases at all. It doesn’t build any goodwill for the cause to overstate risks.

@IndivisibleAlta It was more like selling a plan to land on Jupiter, having the skills and equipment to do it, and opting to land on the moon instead because your dad wants a moon rock.

Anyone who was around and is not operating in bad faith could tell you that passing the ACA was the legislative equivalent of landing a man on the freakin' moon. Seeing Leftists, 20 years later scoff like "you couldn't even try for Jupiter?" is why we hate them.
