Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Americans aren't facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath | Eric Reinhart The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy

"The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy."

Finally, a mainstream news article that correctly identifies reality. It really is that hard to break through capitalist propaganda.

Exhibit Infinity proving that this country could easily support universal healthcare, parental leave, more vacation, free public education, public transportation, and so much more. If it only chose to do so. Instead, corporations and billionaires get welfare while avoiding paying taxes.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

America’s enduring appetite for Trump's deportation cruelty Polls show that tens of millions of Americans still support ICE and the president's mass deportations

Research has shown that self-identified conservatives possess what social psychologists describe as the β€œdark triad” of personality traitsβ€”Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathyβ€”and to lack empathy. These people must be prevented from wielding power.

Trump sends Supreme Court clear message: I am the law The president views the nation's highest court as a rubber stamp, not a co-equal branch of government

We can bemoan the crumbling of American democracy all we like. But there can be no rebuilding it without a restoration of the rule law and genuine accountability for the lawlessness of even the most powerful people in government and the private sector.

I know that things can feel helpless for us average Americans right now.

So just keep doing the things we CAN do.

Speak out. Call your members of Congress. Protest. Get organized. Donate to candidates. Register voters. And vote at every opportunity, primary or general, local or state or federal.

Even reasonably trustworthy sources can be subtly misleading. Everybody needs to level up their media literacy skillset.

"We expect casualties with something like this. We have three, but we expect casualties, but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world." β€”Donald Trump, 28 February 2026, regarding American deaths resulting from his illegal war with Iran

"A great deal for the world." Let that sink in.

Capitalism and war have always been boon companions.

It’s either socialism or barbarism. There is no third way.

If you’re a Democrat in Congress who is considering supporting Trump’s illegal war in Iran, please consider self-immolation instead.

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

Remember: laws do not apply to fascists. There will always be a "state of emergency" that they can declare to grab however much power they want.
