I just heard Chris Hedges explain it perfectly. A young, unemployed black male, roaming the streets is worth absolutely nothing to the state. If that same man is incarcerated, he is worth $40-50 thousand a year to the private prison contractor, the prison food service contractor, the prison medical services…

Well in a sick way he’s right......

Considering the current pickup truck craze, Factory Five should have no problem selling these.

Yeah, it reads to me like when someone tries to excuse their awful behavior because they were drunk/high/whatever, and ‘this is not who I really am!’

I have a friend who is bipolar and can’t tolerate any of the current bipolar meds, so she does without.  She has never been violent to anyone.  I’m not buying “sorry, off the meds” as a valid excuse.

Imagine this at any other job besides Rich Famous Person:

Going off your meds does not excuse attempted murder.  If that’s what happened, guy needs hospitalized involuntarily forever.

I stopped when Kaepernick was effectively banned by those fucks. And I was like I’ll come back when he does. But after a few weeks I was like even if he comes back I’m still done with this shit.

I used to love the Steelers until they gave that dirtbag Roethlisberger a pass.

PREPARE FOR ITEMIZED SETDOWNS!!!

Who gives a shit? Weezy got his pardon, that’s enough for me!

It’s been Trump’s way since he showed up in the media spotlight. He uses you and when you’re of no use to him any longer he dumps you easy peasy like how a raging narcissist does to his minions (I see you angry dumb white folk.) Anyone who has watched Trump has seen him do this to countless folks.

It’s not that they actually give a shit about sports, it’s just an effective dogwhistle. When bathrooms / changing rooms didn’t work (because trans women assaulting cis women in bathrooms just... doesn’t happen?), gendered sports are the next handwringing concern-troll. It sounds logical enough to get the less rabid…

That’s weird. I’m a woman, and I haven’t been erased. At least, I don’t feel like I have.

In my experience, many far-left Glenn Greenwald-newsletter subscribing Marxists have a kind of grudging respect for Trumpists in a game recognizes game sort of way. Trans rights and intersectionality are distractions that the bourgeoisie likes to harp on, according to them — if only we had economic equality, racism,…

Unbelievably, I still know a few people who are continuing to post about how “Trump and Biden are the same.” And yeah, Biden was not my first, second or third choice. But being able to undo some of the senseless cruelty of the Trump administration brings me joy. I’m looking forward to returning to fighting about if…

Noticed a lot of the accounts most upset seemed to be UK based ones trying to get the Equality Act abolished.
