Children of Men was prophecy.

Bingo

Obviously Biden wants to do this, but he’s signing on this specifically because in exchange he’s getting all the money he wants for Ukraine and Israel.

I’m guessing his part basically has to be a kind of patter song, right?

Claudia de la Cruz seems very based, though.

If Trump is such an existential threat, you would think the Dems would be doing everything in their power to court the votes of the left.

Google “Dusty Deevers”. He is a newly elected state rep in Oklahoma. He recently put forward bills to charge women who get an abortion with murder, criminalize watching porn, abolish no-fault divorce, and a few other batshit ideas.

I think we’re gonna see a lot more articles like this, moreso than in 2020. They’re not directed at us commies - we’re too small in number and they know we’re not voting for Biden no matter what. I don’t think they’re even directed at your typical white DSA-adjacent radlibs - the DNC knows they will fall in line by November.

I do think that the Dems are scared shitless about POC votes - black and Arab-American voters in particular. Recent polls have shown Biden’s support among those groups is dropping precipitously; and not just in terms of general approval/disapproval numbers. The numbers of Dem-leaning POC voters that are considering not voting or voting third party have gone way up since Oct. 7.

capped as low as $3

Weasel words. This is like when a furniture store says they have things marked down “as much as 75% off”; and when you go there barely anything is even discounted.

Wait a sec, I figured everylife dot com was some anti-abortion lobbying site or something. They literally just sell diapers and baby wipes. Not give them away to moms to encourage them to not abort, literally just doing normal ass capitalism. This is an ad campaign to sell diapers.

Edit: holy crap their wipes cost like 2X what wipes cost at Costco.

Oh hey it’s her, from The Bear. That show is so good and she’s great in it.

I wonder if anyone has ever looked into the idea that labor is the source of all profits

A few minutes ago, you said you’ve never blown up a pipeline. If that’s what you think is necessary, why haven’t you?

Is anyone here familiar with Makoto Itoh? Is he a pretty sound theorist? I was reading some passages from a book he wrote, and it’s very insightful. But whenever I came across some 20th century academic Marxist I’ve never heard of I always proceed with caution.

1.) Russia is not conceding any territory they currently control. And Crimea is about as much in play as St. Petersburg.

2.) Russia will not accept Ukraine being allowed into any military alliance with NATO, and will not accept them being a member.

Russia does not need to budge an inch on those two points because they are winning and outside of NATO getting involved and starting WW3, Russia will only be making gains, not losses.

Edit: want to add a comment about this comment

Europe is all talk about picking up the slack

This might be true in the very near term. The problem is the Euro population seems to be increasingly fed up with it all and I don’t see that trend reversing. If Le Pen wins the presidency in France on a campaign of ending support for Ukraine; and if AfD picks up a ton of seats on a similar platform; and various parties in smaller countries do likewise… how long do you think that support will last?

Hot air balloons can’t make it anywhere close to even the stratosphere, much less space right?

For all his faults, Khrushchev is the Soviet General Secretary is the who I think would be the most fun to hang out with for a night.

Yes! IIRC electorally, it looked like the Russians were just going to elect socialists and communists (with some socdems sprinkled in there). In order to prevent that, the US supported Yeltsin consolidating power within the executive and making the legislature relatively powerless.

It’s a good thing were no unintended consequences later on associated with having a powerful president…
