Sharing this incredible video that uses a 90s sitcom about a family of animatronic dinosaurs as a critique of capitalism. It touches on every mainstream talking point that I think could be easily conveyed to the average person when trying to arguing that U.S. culture is ripping itself (and everything it touches) apart.

Post Election – Expect Tax Legislation

I. Introduction With clear Republican victories in the White House and the Senate, and a very slim majority for either side in the House of Representatives, we can expect tax legislation in the coming year. It is expected that the President elect will likely seek to enact his economic agenda as quickly as possible. While Congress may work for bipartisan support of any such legislation,…

screaming crying coughing up blood every time i have to fucking defend genocide joe bc ppl wanna lie and say he isn't responsible for most of the best domestic policy we've seen in decades

his foreign policy is dogshit, yes, and he should rightly be called on it and primaried out, but we can criticize the shit he's actually done wrong instead of making shit up about him ~not doing anything good~

I started reading Billy Bat manga by Urasawa Naoki (u may know him as the guy who did Monster) and jesus christ its wild. Absolute experience. Judas and Jesus are in it, so are ninjas, so is lee harvey oswald (technically at least 3), theres a bat thats satire about how evil mickey mouse and disney are, there's lying cartoons galore, there's the civil rights movement, the oppressivr terror of the ku klux klan and the structural damage of segregation and fucked up laws, and the pervasiveness of advertising and the coca cola company ("golden cola") there's real events sprinkled with gratuitious fictional shit about manipulative God Billy Bat (or perhaps "administrator/guide to the human race"), a scroll that could control the world, Fake walt disney has hired killers, the looming brutality of imperialism and corporations buying out poorer areas, killing in other countries and breaking laws and whatever else is needed to acquire what they want, there's a cartoon dog kennedy assasination, a baby kevin inherits the powers of an older kevin, there's ninjas and priests, there's a small town out west full of cowboy larpers who are this comic artists biggest fan club, a secret agent Smith with a heart of gold (one hopes), a teenager named jackie whos seeing visions, there's a good and evil fake "mickey mouse" bat but frankly theyre probqbly both evil cause either way they lie and manipulate to get people to do what they want, judas cameos not only in his jesus arc but as a little kiddo, and like. Im not even halfway done. Einstein JUST showed up.

Okay I'm gonna say something.

If you wouldn't expect yourself, a friend, or a stranger to be a vocal, energetic activist after years of daily 12-16 hour shifts, you probably shouldn't be surprised that Obama lost some of his 2008 mojo in the later years of his presidency.

Then again, maybe the shift was also due to losing Congress. Idk, I'm just comparing his statement after the Jan 2010 Citizens United decision -

"With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans. This ruling gives the special interests and their lobbyists even more power in Washington — while undermining the influence of average Americans who make small contributions to support their preferred candidates. That's why I am instructing my Administration to get to work immediately with Congress on this issue. We are going to talk with bipartisan Congressional leaders to develop a forceful response to this decision. The public interest requires nothing less."

With people's general perception of him as a leader, drawing on idk, vibes, from 2012 onwards. Like, that's the same guy. Probably even a bit more radicalized by all the DC bullshit. But keeping up that public energy is unsustainable during a presidency.

terrified about the future of automation, 26% of jobs are in transportation and customer service type positions, these are the positions that are easily accessible to people without degrees, these are also the jobs that can't get any employees because they pay like shit, i believe that instead of paying people a living wage companies will instead turn to automating these jobs

He also said "its none of my fucking business what israel does with the money and weapons we send them, even though our inability to stop doing so is enabling a whole Holocaust."

shout out to tim walz who essentially said “it’s none of my fucking business if a woman gets an abortion. but if they dont we’re making sure that kid is fed and housed and if they do we’re making sure they’re taken care of and surviving”
