Ah see I’m gonna own the left by equating teachers unions with police unions because as a matter of social function reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar is the same as a state-sanctioned well armed militia violently enforcing the needs of capital. I am smart.

Out of stock

for more on how Economist editor Robert Moss assisted the coup plot against Allende in 1973, read "Liberalism at Large: The World According to the Economist" by @zevin_a. It's exquisitely researched and full of similar stories of anti-Left disinfo sleaze https://t.co/RBYP4DJ2lB

@AlixMontes @AgeofNapoleon I recently finished Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts and thought it interesting if you want very polished apologia and boosterism. Tons of details peppered with hagiography but I (I think? I’m an amateur) some more recent original research.

@Maxxjd_33 @SamSacks CNN, among its many sins of platforming racists and homophobes like Rick Santorum and hiring fascist Trump flunkies like Corey Lewandowski and Jeffrey Lord, literally takes millions to promote a country than imprisons journalists and castrates homosexuals https://t.co/tnloNLYocB

Why do people think theyre clever pointing out longterm radical projects are presently unpopular. At the time of his killing MLK had a 75% disapproval rating, including ~50% among AA’s. In 1859 the NYT condemned militant abolitionists & called John Brown “a wild & absurd freak” https://t.co/88RV4nkyU2

@mrbowlman @rickperlstein @lromeranth Both powers have had a red line for decades, it’s budged here and there but it’s been fairly steady. It’s the same Cold War rules as before, as it’s been in Syria since 2015, as it was in 1980s Afghanistan. Steve Coll’s Ghost Wars does does a pretty good job explaining it

RIP mayorship of Lori “I have the biggest dick in Chicago” Lightfoot. She talked like a David Mamet character (cool) but pumped money into cops and worked for real estate (bad) https://t.co/hiaU0js4Na

Being exploited by the IMF and predatory multinationals is not the only alternative to starvation, and in many countries the alternative starvation conditions are man made by these same forces. I recommend Jason Hickel’s The Divide which explains this in great detail https://t.co/ADLz6vF52Z
