I was referring to the two previous elections. And if really want to “move forward” and beat Trump, maybe you should inform Biden of the situation he and his shitty party enabled.

“…past predictions of global warming have proved largely correct. To persist with scepticism is immoral and stupid. Even a free-market fanatic cannot deny that environmental externalities are a form of market failure. Climate is the biggest externality of all.”

Jill Biden could be the final nail in this democracy’s coffin, or its savior. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that’s not a good way to run a country.

The ancient Greeks defined "tyranny" (tyrannia) as the illegitimately gained rule over a state and its people through the power of wealth. So what exactly are you "celebrating" today besides blowing shit up and clogging your aortas with tortured animals?

🚨NEW: How Democratic elites protected Biden from a real primary — and created conditions for Trump to win. They’d rather risk Trump winning than lose their power in the party — and they know they’ll still be enriched if Trump wins & the country burns.

For clarification. I see many people, including Mayor Bass, saying protesters were blocking the entrance to a house of worship. The event ad for the land sale is below. Particularly shocking is the “best Anglo neighborhoods”. Second screenshot from their site lists settlements in the West Bank.

And it's absolutely insane that this is even up for discussion because BEFORE Covid, plenty of people wore masks. Just not a large portion of the population. And no one cared. Mask bans are 100% a culture war bullshit stance, because masks work.

If you haven’t been masking in public since 2021 please mask the fuck up in solidarity. We’ve been begging for years and everything we’ve said would happen has happened and is happening bc you’d rather disappear disabled people than listen to us when we see the fascist warning signs

The dripping scorn I see against those undergoing serious moral conflict at the thought of having to vote for Joe Biden in order to stop the *other* genocidal psychopath he and his party helped propel to the White House, is as frightening as it is dispiriting. Block away, kid.

Neoliberalism demands the appearance of normalcy and order. Masks represent disorder and a threat to the attempts to sweep covid and the necropolitics/eugenic worldview at play in allowing it to continue its spread and kill tens of thousands of Americans unabated. This is deeply authoritarian.

UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks. This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

Facebook’s Memories page used to be a place you could go to remember funny exchanges and posts between friends. Now it’s a daily reminder that many of those friends are now homeless, broke, sick, or dead because of our healthcare system. For God's sake finish that vampire script while you can!

The @nytimes.com has really done it this time. Publishing a piece on the lab leak theory is just terrible editorial judgment. Did they talk to ANY of their science reporters? Talk to anyone who works on viral emergence & origins? This is clickbait for the Fauci hearings this week. It is disgusting.
