Neoliberal/fascist people in positions of public power never say - Violence isn't the answer - when they give more raises to state mercenaries to buy more weapons of state funded violence & militarized/armored vehicles & to beat up nonviolent citizens exercising their rights to public dissent & peaceful protests.

I'm uninterested in bootlicker responses. I will block those who choose to commit bootlicking offenses on my timeline - on sight.

to be 100% clear i think the assassination was Cool and Good and There Should Be More

Man, imagine if there was something that has the user-friendliness of guix and speed of nix

wild how your claim to fame could be revealing deeply fucked up government secrets for the benefit of the whole world, and the media will still refer to you as a "trans activist"

Listening to the House banter about some "Crucial Communism Education Act" designed to emphasize education on the atrocities of totalitarian communist regimes.

I find myself wondering how different the political impulses would be if communism wasn't constantly conflated with totalitarian forms of government and was more plainly regarded as the system of economics it is more literally defined as.

Like, honestly, totalitarian government is the problem, not a communist economic model. But goddamn the two are inseparable.

Thanks Stalin I guess.

Two thoughts on this: first, it’s interesting that other industries are now profiting off corporations like Walgreens successfully blaming shoplifters for their price gouging & bad practices.

Second, it’s an interesting time for a CEO to get mouthy in public.

It is absolutely appropriate to celebrate the murder of a mass murderer, particularly given that this was likely the only way to stop him from killing people for money.

You can’t use a gun to kill people; that’s barbaric. You have to build a corporate industrial complex that systematically deprives people of their basic human rights through a legal system backed by organized thugs who use a lot of guns to kill a lot of other people. That’s the civilized way.

“How did he know where the CEO was gonna be?” This was like a large public event, all he had to do was pay attention to their corporate press releases.

“Why didn’t the CEO have bodyguards?” It’s NYC. Rich/famous people ride the subway by themselves all the time.

“Why did he expose his face at Starby’s?” Dude, that wasn’t him, the Starby’s guy had a different color backpack and chest pockets on his jacket. Trust me bro I’ve spent a lot of time looking at pixelated photos on the internet

It really cannot be overstated enough: "For-profit health insurance" is fundamentally incompatible with keeping people healthy. UnitedHealthcare did not deny 1 out of every 3 claims because they thought they weren't medically valuable, they did it because they knew they could get away with it. The entire system cannot ever provide health as a meaningful outcome. It must be eliminated and replaced with taxation and a single-payer institution built on care, not resource hoarding.

I would like our sci-fi loving billionaires to take note that we have now entered that cyberpunk era in which street samurai execute corporates in the street.

Some CEOs don't want to die, seems like! #UnitedHealth

It's so amazing to learn that the NYPD investigates every targeted killing in the city by doing video canvassing weeks back, scouring transportation records and doing detailed forensic analysis. How do they ever find time to catch fare dodgers?
