Yes. All corporate media is state media. None of it can be trusted.

It's a sad state of affairs when you'll get better information from Teen Vogue than any organization in the White House Press Pool.

I did not at all lose the birth lottery. Being Black is fucking awesome. I just need the rest of y'all to act like you have some sense.

I'm not sure how many classrooms do this, but it is becoming less common.

As a Black American the number of white people saying "Who could have known" what we have been screaming at them is infuriating.

As a leftist, the people who said we were overreacting about the Patriot Act 25 years ago (and continuously since) are now saying that we devolved into fascism quickly.

Lots of insult intended. More insult than you can imagine. If you're reading this and you have been complacent, it's time to get into the streets.

Corporate media is propaganda. They got Trump elected and now they're carrying water for his administration.

Y'all got to take the word "distract" out of your vocabulary. Israel is not committing genocide to distract from the Epstein files.

I don't really know or care much about Greta Thuneberg. But I wouldn't criticize her unless my activism was objectively more effective than hers...and I don't think that describes either of us.

Finally a positive story about the police...because those fucks weren't there.

Bug if true

I mean...yeah. I said maximize profits, not long term sustainability. Executive bonuses are based on this quarter's stock price.

The dysfunction comes from incentives to act badly. What makes it "Late Stage" is the complete lack of thought for the future.

I believe in restorative justice. The idea is that criminals should try to restore the wrong that they've done.

I don't pretend to have all the answers. Maybe some people are incorrigible. But people saying to "Put a bullet in his head" are working from the same fascist playbook as he is, and that won't solve anything.

Americans can't handle anything more "ethnic" than "Bob". I'm sure she gets called "Kristin" a lot.

Pretty sure that's because you pasteurize your milk.

In Late Stage Capitalism, companies have realized they can maximize their profits by making their product worse. Especially when they have a (near) monopoly.

The United States is a fascist police state and always has been. The people in the replies below are fine with that as long as they get to pick who the government mistreats.

The problem with that is that someday the "wrong" person will be back in charge, and they get to use all the power of the authoritarian state. The only thing to do is to take the power to kill people away from the government entirely.

I don't even understand why this is an issue. If I get her off using a vibrator, I'm taking the W. Getting intimidated by a hunk of plastic is weird.

If rabbits aren't real then who has been chasing after my daughter and trying to steal her cereal? Starting to think I should be concerned...

It is amazing how Americans manage to be so arrogant regardless of reality. Has it ever occurred to you that the US has funded death squads across the world? Trump is pretty par for the course, he's just terrorizing American cities instead of South American or Middle Eastern.

The trainee, who previously worked as an FBI support specialist in Los Angeles, received a letter — dated Oct. 1 and signed by Patel — claiming he had displayed an improper “political” message in the workplace during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden, according to a copy of the letter shared with MSNBC.

I'm not sure you've quite grasped the concept of linear time....

I was unclear. What I mean is that you shouldn't confuse a phrase being cute for being supported by evidence. You're making an assertion, but it's really just nihilism.

No system of governance is perfect, but capitalism concentrates the most power in the greediest and most willing to cheat and steal. And one reason the US is so terrible is that our constitution is so old and written specifically to allow rich white men to control everything.
