I'm impressed by the Albanians.

Fuck this. Take their heads, then take their money.

The Century of American Humiliation

With a ton of academia leaving this fascist shithole for their home countries, the US continuing to dismantle the education system and the capitalization of higher education the US is going to become irrelevant pretty quickly on the world stage.

“Without God, we’d go nowhere,” Johnson said. “We see what happens without God.”

Hence the "keep fighting".

Find a way to resist. Join local leftist groups. Focus on mutual aid, further educate yourself and educate others. Resistance can come in the smallest forms and they're all important.

Keep your head up and keep fighting.

You're right. A lot are being used to build up the surveillance state.

Burn. Them. Down.

While these are effective, it also works to just throw them back. The canisters are hot, so use a work glove, or something to protect your hand, and move quickly, in one swift motion.

Dead Kennedys had a solution

Last spring (not this past spring, but last year) I came across a fledgling crow on the ground when I was walking my dog. It was on our normal dog walk route and I checked in on it daily, giving it space. After 3 days or so I gave it some water and did some reading about fledgling birds and all that. After it had been on the ground for a week I called an animal rescue and they came and checked on it and sure enough, it was injured so they took it.

Just about every day the crows caw and click at me when we walk. I don't know if they recognize us and are scolding us or if they're just doing crow things. I hope they dont think too poorly of me, I was trying to help.

I just read something that Robespierre said that is fitting: "When will the people be educated? When they have enough bread to eat, when the rich and the government stop bribing treacherous pens and tongues to deceive them... When will this be? Never."

I'm an office manager at a methadone clinic. I'm working toward becoming a Drug and Alcohol Counselor. It's a wonderfully rewarding job and I can't wait to continue in the field.

Have you ever seen Jon Stewart's demolition of Crossfireon Fox? It was a similar show and Stewart wrecked them so badly that they never recovered. It was glorious.

I can't seem to find the clip, but if you find the full video it's worth a watch.

Edit: Crossfire, not Hardball

I quit heroin and other heavy opioids just before fentanyl really hit the streets. Quit cold turkey after losing a few friends and realizing that I could get a bag cut with fent and die, and I couldn't do that to my siblings; they're a lot younger than me and really idolized me at the time.

When I was well enough to get to a store without shitting myself or throwing up bile everywhere, I went and bought a handle(1.75l) of the cheapest vodka I could. I continued that every day until 4 years ago.

I have cirrhosis, and my liver could shit the bed at any time, but I'm alive and I'm clean (for the most part) and sober. I work in recovery and am working to become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor now.

I quit smoking about 6 months ago. I went to the store, didn't have quite enough for a pack, and just haven't bought another. Tobacco has been the hardest for me by far. Alcohol withdrawal almost killed me - I had to be hospitalized for near a month - but I was on high doses of benzodiazepines so I don't remember much of it. The cravings for a cigarette are intense. They've gotten better zand they will continue to do so, but damn, it's rough.

Oh! I'm actually somewhat decent with some useful things. I got sent to a wilderness school for fuck up kids when I was a teen. So I know how to, and have applied a lot of survival stuff.

I know how to effectively make a somewhat permanent shelter. I can make and use a bow drill to make fire, and along the same principal but with much more effort and time I could make fire with hand drill or fire plough techniques. I know how to make basic traps. I can make cordage, and have very, very very basic tracking skills. I know some edible and toxic plants in my area (not exhaustive by any means). I know how to clean and dress game. There's a lot of other stuff, but those popped into my head immediately.

It's been a long time since I've done all this, but the knowledge and know-how is all there. I'd actually be a decent person to have around!

I have a collection of Rosa Luxemburg writings on my bookshelf. I need to pick that up when I finish Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution.

This is one that makes me irrationally angry. If I see someone do this, I'll return it for them while I stare daggers at them. It's probably immature, but I don't give a fuck. People who do shit like this are usually contemptuous shitbags.

The dislike for Trump crosses party affiliation and traditional right/left dichotomies. That is to say that there are A LOT of Republicans that dislike Trump and don't see him as an ally, or see him as quite the opposite, in fact.

The Palestine Laboratory working as hard as ever. Harder even.

My dad had The Blues Brothers on VHS. I used to watch it ALL the time. I've seen it upwards of 100 times. It is still one of my favorite movies of all time. When I was a kid 95% of it went over my head, but as an adult, it's just so good.
