That Adrienne Rich quote “Art means nothing if it simply decorates the dinner table of power which holds it hostage” really hits home in 2022

We're thrilled with the success of last night's debut of our new live nightly prime-time program, @SystemUpdate_ , on Rumble.
Despite little advertising - we decided to start that only in early January - we had 30,000 people watching live, a total of 160k in the first 12 hours.

Fauci is a great figure for showing how the two party song and dance works. He did far too little to fight Covid, prioritizing business and political status quo, but gets treated like a radical by the Right, which then allows Dems to act like he did more than he did.

The fragility.
We should turn this country over to those who have withstood a few hundred years of trauma, while climbing over every possible obstacle we roll in front of them, if we can’t handle not being able to find a doll, while controlling the reins of power and money.

In 1972, the highest federal income tax bracket was taxed at 70%. Today it's 37%. My dad's pension has been replaced, for me, by a mutual fund with "company match." The Voting Rights Act is functionally dead. 1/3 of workers were represented by a union in 1972, now it's 1/10. twitter.com/timmyf/status/

It's depressing how much of our national life is spent arguing over whether we truly need to treat all people with dignity and respect.

weird how turning the net into basically a handful of apps run by a few white guys in the same zip code transformed humanity’s greatest invention into a genocide machine capable of resurrecting & fundng a hate movement penniless & practically dormant by the late 90s

From a wife of a rail worker: "My husband is at 28.5 years but is only 55 so he still has 5 years. He agrees with all this in Bernie's video and he voted no on the TA. One thing he said no one in the media or congress has said anything about is this:

Man voting in Georgia is so different than in Illinois. When I lived in chicago, during early voting, I went to the local elementary school, waited in line about ten minutes, and they gave me a sheet of paper. I checked people off then I put it in the machine and left.

Sick days being a perk like health insurance being a benefit just underscores the fact that under capitalism you are a worker first and a living human being second.

Here's a scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).
One country sits alone in the bottom right quadrant due to its much higher spending and below-average life expectancy.

Aired only once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which it was written and effectively banned and never aired again.
I wonder why.

You want to know why closeted conservative Queers are so violently anti-gay?
As a sex worker who has worked with many of them, I can easily tell you.
They hate your freedom.

You can be kind and take no shit. You can be respectful and disagree. You can be humble and confident. You can be empathic and say no. You can be vulnerable and strong. You can forgive someone and not let them back into your life. You can be spiritual and tell someone to fuck off

Imagine there's a lawyer who won a $9.5 Billion settlement against a Big Oil company & rather than pay it, the company went after the lawyer, got him disbarred & arrested. Now imagine the US gov did nothing to prevent it & instead supported it.

Brand jamming is a valuable tactic for precisely this reason. With fake announcements about positive change, the target gets stuck apologizing, explaining why the great news isn’t true and having to justify themselves. This example will be used as a case study for years.
