i disagree strongly with israel's policy of existence

lol. Israel's economy depends on immiserated Palestinians coming over the border to do low-paid work. Like how US food production depends on Mexican farm laborers who get paid less than min wage. Wtf did they think was gonna happen?

a man who reputedly said, "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."

stalin-stressed

as the Clash said, "You have the right to free speech, as long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it"

here's a good rule of thumb: if a tweet has more than 280 characters, it's false

They're still in Kurian's office, still streaming, and starting to get major media coverage: WaPo Wired

In my opinion this is one of the most important labor developments in the US in a while. Internationally politicized worker organization in the belly of the beast by traditionally un-unionizable PMCs.

This operation could be successful if it was treated like an actual war. Target [...] supply lines, and have some tolerance for civilian casualties.

the_dunk_tank is so bad for my brain. redditor powerusers blithely calling for innocent deaths. this guy is roughly the same age as me. what are we going to do with these people?

"people are less likely to read the original stuff, and it becomes clear that part of the original work is simply wrong"

(a) hexbear is running a Capital book club at this very moment (b) Marx was right.

Mighty Weinersmith, from a liberal perspective, deals a killing stroke to DSA's North Star caucus and possibly Pete Buttigieg types. I'm quaking in my boots

Bulk tofu online? (hexbear.net)

Where do I find cheap firm tofu online? Costco used to be $1.25 a block for the good stuff but now is like $1.60 for less than a pound of "firm" that crumbles if you look at it funny. Every other local store has even worse prices, even Chinatown. I am ready to just give up and buy 40 pounds online or something. I eat a block of tofu for dinner most days (or I would, if it was cheap and good again).

Posting here instead of /c/chicago since it's pretty dead. They've introduced an ordinance that would ban sales of new fur (not leather, not thrifting, but still):

Apparently Gardiner said today he's going to co-sponsor this, along with some others not yet listed. Why the FUCK are Raylo and Gardiner suddenly champions of animal rights? It seems like it should be easier to get the succdems and progressives on board; I'm gonna ask mine tomorrow.

we're gonna be cooked😭😭

This isn't a communist, it's just another programmer so high on his own farts he's become a eugenicist. Confine to /c/the_dunk_tank pls

Yeah everyone I've met has been pretty cool. If someone posts in /c/chicago I would go to a protest / bar / gun range. Dunno what leftists do outside of "work" but I enjoy hanging out and the cross-pollination effects of like "I joined this org it's good" are productive.

I don't care about fedposting anymore I made a FOIA request for my FBI file and it got denied under 5 USC 552(b)(7)(A) which is the one about active law enforcement proceedings. Fuck it we ball

[Rosendall] said protesting police presence at Pride overlooks decades of work spent improving relations between the D.C. LGBTQ+ community and the police force; the department even has an LGBTQ+ liaison and is considered a model for inclusion.

the best part is the follow-up:

“There’s a risk of behaving in a totalitarian mindset,” he said.

freedom is when cops. totalitarianism is when no cops. It takes decades of work to reach a theoretical conclusion this profound
