What does it say about economics as a discipline that, as weโ€™re over half a century into a global economic downturn and facing the imminent annihilation of Earthโ€™s ecosystem, the absolute best it can muster is to continue worshipping at the altar of Endless Growth?

Whoever invented the โ€œmark all as unreadโ€ option should be sent to prison for life. Why would I ever want to mark hundreds of emails unread!!

Not sure why so many people are acting like both parties would use this to their advantage when we all already know the GOP will destroy every Democrat seat and the Dems will do literally nothing in response because of โ€œthe normsโ€

i get nobody can be satisfied with anything anymore but having the future mayor of NYC refuse to agree hamas should disarm or be removed from power despite being pressed on it on fox news of all places is genuinely great and i think zohran deserves props for not buckling here

What may end up being the longest lasting legacy of the Trump movement is the condemning of all future generations to global ecological suicide and civilizational collapse. The fascist death cult has the entire planet in its grip and will kill billions

Decades of slavish loyalty to the feckless, incompetent, and morally corrupt DNC & its allied NGOs have left the queer community completely disorganized and unprepared for the brutally violent heterofascism that is currently seizing power. Now we either organize or die

A completely valid question from left-wing critics of Zohran is asking how we go from a social democratic candidate to a socialist movement, and answering that questions requires Zohran supporters to have a unified plan we can explain and be confident in

Probably bad for queer people that at the very moment when the figure of the drag queen has become one of the main targets of cisheterofascism, drag itself is at its most commodified, neutered, and depoliticized. Reality TV shows cannot save us!

Drag (and queerness in general) are inherently political; pretending they arenโ€™t doesnโ€™t protect us, it just takes away the tools we need to defend ourselves

โ€œConservatives are all 12 year oldsโ€ really does get at how reactionary social relations like the nation, property, maleness, etc. produce deeply infantilized subjects, especially when filtered through commodified mass culture

This is exactly the wrong response: instead of recognizing the inherently undemocratic character of our government & pushing to democratize it, libs simply narrow the definition of democracy until it matches this aristocratic system and then declare it โ€œdemocraticโ€
