Remember that time a Trump supporter took out a gun and was ready to shoot trans rights protesters in the head in the capital of California? No? Probably because it happened only two days ago and the mainstream media is completely covering it up.

REMINDER: The only reason there is an FDIC that protects $250,000 of accounts in banks is because FDR and Democrats in Congress enacted it in 1933. If it was up to GOP, there NEVER would be this protection. Same goes for Social Security and Medicare: ALL Democratic policies!

My friend the brilliant author Rachel Pollack is coming to the end of her life. She won the Nebula, World Fantasy and Arthur C Clarke awards. She is a world renowned expert on Tarot, and her books on Tarot are still regarded as the good standard. She created the first trans superhero, in Doom Patrol in '93. I will miss her very much when she goes. I am writing this at the request of her wife Zoe, to let her friends know that the end is soon, and to let the obituarists know too.

More proof that a government bailout would go straight to the pockets of the 1%: Hedge funds are reportedly offering 60-80 cents on the dollar for certain #SVB assets. This tells us 2 things: there's profit to be made on the assets of SVB *and* the 20%-40% loss would be the amount that taxpayers would be gifting to the a—holes that literally directed this meltdown.

Larry Summer sat on a beach and said a bunch of people need to lose their jobs to get inflation under control.

Perhaps we need to have a bunch of oligarchs lose their money in a bank run to get our financial system under control.

I think the term is: moral hazard

Someone just called me an “epistemic superpredator” and it was supposed to be an insult but it’s the best thing anyone has ever called me. It’s going on my business cards.

Libertarians are the antivaxxers of economic regulation: having never lived in a world without it, they've deluded themselves into thinking stability is naturally occurring.

Folks on the radio saying we don't need masks in schools until that school has an outbreak of like 40% of the school.

What's the point then? 40% already infected.

I don't get this "wait until after the car crash happens then everyone not injured can put in a seatbelt"

We knew it was only a matter of time before Grimes' ex husband booted us off his platform like a failed SpaceX satellite.

The time for relying on corporate social media platforms has been over for a long time now.

We're stoked at the growth of community here on mastodon and we hope to use this platform to share anarchist, anticapitalist and anticolonial videos for years to come.
