Yellen says the economy is “deep into a recovery.” 😂 The abysmal depths of an upswing!

Holy shit that list is huge.

I have no idea what you’re talking about w/r/t Burgerland antisocialists or fascists.

He’s got no flag right now. Taking the weekend off break from imperialism, I guess.

The Ukrainian flag isn’t on his Xitter profile anymore 🤔

Huh? It’s the South China Morning Post, and the only thing approaching “nationalism” in the article is “Chinese scientists,” mentioned all of once.

Aside from us (dozens!), some mandarins of the haute bourgeoisie must have noticed.

Edit to add:

We have 750 overseas bases; China has only one.

I tell libs this so often: https://lemmy.ml/search?creatorId=1468481&q=djibouti

The US has over 750 overseas military bases around the world, and is building more to further encircle China. Meanwhile China has one anti-piracy base in Djibouti.

“You’re living in a bubble,” said the person who’d been exposed to exactly the same life-long indoctrination, education, media, and and propaganda as you, but never investigated further.

I don’t let people get away with laying all the blame on Israel and/or Zionists and/or AIPAC. Copypasting myself:

it’s not like AIPAC is super popular with American Jews either.

It’s been super popular with Zionist American Jews. It’s also popular with the vastly larger number of non-Jewish Zionists. Quite a bit of this is coming from Christian conservatives. AIPAC Not Just for Jews Anymore

any country could basically do it.

Not really: the US would shut it down if it ran up against US interests enough. But Israel doesn’t run up against US interests; it’s in line with them. Israel is the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia. As Biden has said throughout his career, “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.” A lot of this money and influence is coming from the US military-industrial complex.

Israel isn’t a case of the tail wagging the dog. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.

You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.

If Harris is the harm reduction candidate, who for?

One person finally showed up to kvetch about [ableist slur] tankies.

 

Found via Jamie Zawinski (“JWZ”): Thread federation

This is a great (long) look at the issues around federating between Mastodon and Threads from several angles, and manages to do so without letting the white-hot rage at Zuckerberg's fetid empire shine through and overpower the discussion of practical considerations.

Workers Strike Back was started by Socialist Alternative Seattle councilmember Kshama Sawant.

On Strike is the video broadcast of Workers Strike Back, hosted by socialist City Councilmember Kshama Sawant and Bia Lacombe. We’ve seen more protests and strikes than any time in a generation, but rarely do we hear about them from the perspective of working people and our movements. On Strike provides an independent socialist analysis and strategy to rebuild a fighting labor movement and campaign for a new mass party for workers and young people.
