The loudest supporters of war are always the furthest from its consequences.

Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is “normal.” As if those families don’t have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn’t someone’s entire universe. Geographical luck. That’s the only difference between you & them.

evangelicals used to ask us “what would jesus do” and now call us woke when we do what jesus would have done

a freeway costs $50-200 million per mile to build and we don't ask it to turn a profit. a train line proposes the same price tag and suddenly it needs to be self-funding by 2031. the infrastructure we subsidize reveals what we value and we have chosen the car every single time

Bucks coach Doc Rivers, on how to try to keep things positive for the team with a couple losses with big margins in the last week:

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding themselves and their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.

I don’t think it’s particularly radical or unreasonable to say that the U.S. should not be enacting what amounts to collective punishment against the Cuban people. The blockade is immoral and indefensible.

We need to redefine “national security” and what makes us safe. Making sure people are fed and housed makes us safe. Healthcare makes us safe. Renewable energy and climate solutions make us safe. Imagine if we funded these instead of bombs.

"The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the Axe, for the Axe was clever and convinced them that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."

By cutting the electricity supply in Cuba the USA killed hundreds of severely ill patients in Cuban hospitals last night. Yet another of their many war crimes. Donald Trump is the 21st century Adolf Hitler.

Internet: (Insert celebrity died) Me: Oh, man that's sad. Internet: They was MAGA Me: Oh... ball up top.

Timeless words from Julian Assange that will be true until the empire falls: “The goal of the war is to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States and back into the hands of a transnational security elite… …The goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war."

If you're voting republican, you're voting to hurt people. You're voting for policies that harm the poor and reward the wealthy. You're voting to harm immigrants in a country full of immigrants. You're voting mysogyny. You're voting for racism. You're voting for bigotry.

The single greatest threat to religion in the world isn’t secularism or atheism. It is religious people contradicting their religion by justifying evil, moral depravity, greed, selfishness, arrogance, hatred, and even the use of violence to preserve their religion.

Block the straight of Hormuz for a week and the world goes mad but block the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and nobody bats an eye. It’s not hard to see that this world values markets, profit and capitalism over human lives.

ICE is straightforwardly a gestapo secret police now, disappearing people at the president’s personal direction for simply crossing one of his cronies

As we enter this new era of war, economic ruin, and societal decay, remember that none of this had to happen, how liberals gave you multiple easy and safe options and how you spat in our faces.

They’re going to blow up the world before they admit what they did on that island.

Boomers in 2030: ok, you were right about Iraq and Iran, and frankly everything in between, but this war with Turkey is really necessary
