Trump is a piece of shit weak-ass simpleton who is given an undeserving political career by a corporate media possessed by white bias and normalizing toxic masculinity.

In an effort to diversify its holdings in the highly competitive militarized surveillance space, data analytics firm Palantir announced Thursday that it had acquired the Pentagon for $800 billion. “After months of negotiating, I am thrilled to announce that the U.S. government has accepted our terms and agreed to sell us the Department of War,” said Palantir CEO Alex Karp, emphasizing that the landmark deal—which included the transfer of the agency’s classified intelligence data, top secret weapons programs, and over 2.9 million military and civilian employees—would serve as a significant driver of death and destruction for the company’s customers and shareholders alike.

Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Some yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today. But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani succeeded last night in his attempt to build a democratic socialist power base in the Big Apple. His endorsed congressional candidates — Brad Lander, the former city comptroller, and two democratic socialists, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez — all won their races Mamdani said the results showed that his victory in the mayor’s race last year marked a turning point in progressive politics. “It was not the end of a political movement, it was the beginning.” But I think it’s more than that. Democrats across the nation now face the biggest opportunity they’ve had since World War II to change the face of American politics. It’s time for Democrats to take on the class war that’s being waged by the nation’s oligarchy against most Americans by becoming class warriors themselves. By class warrior I don’t mean resorting to violence or name-calling. I mean recognizing that a billionaire class is bad for America and calling for bold changes to reverse it: taxing great wealth, busting up monopolies, strengthening labor unions, raising the minimum wage, demanding profit-sharing and capital-sharing, ensuring Medicare for all and a universal basic income, and getting big money out of politics. Congratulations to these candidates for taking on our rigged system.
