Authoritarian left… What is this?

It’s an oxymoron. Authoritarianism is right-wing regardless of how the “authority” brands itself.

First paragraph: That’s what I came here to say!

Second paragraph: Oooof!

The failed invasions and colonizations of Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. were ended through brutal defeat despite decades of “democratic” support.

You should hear what trump et al are talking about re: Israel.

Post it!

He also supports genocide but doesn’t think it’s “heartbreaking”?

Yes… But don’t conveniently forget that the racist stuff should go on the kamala side too. She’s spent her entire life putting minorities in cages, bombing non-yts, and otherwise violently enforcing an extremely racist system.

Dude’s gotta be a drugged out meatball to think harris won’t serve the same masters.

“Extending 2-for-1 credits to all minimum custody inmates at this time would severely impact fire camp participation—a dangerous outcome while California is in the middle of a difficult fire season and severe drought,” lawyers for Harris wrote in the filing, noting that the fire camp program required physical fitness in addition to a level of clearance that allowed the felon to be offsite.

Not only that, they noted, draining the prisons of “minimum custody inmates” would deplete the labor force both internally and in local communities where low-level, non-violent offenders worked for pennies on the dollar collecting trash and tending to city parks. A federal three-judge panel ordered both sides to confer about the plaintiffs’ demands, and the state agreed to extend the 2-for-1 credits to all eligible minimum security prisoners.

… “As she said at the time, Senator Harris was shocked and troubled by the use of this argument", said spokesman Ian Sams. "Her office, on behalf of the state corrections’ department, then came to the table with the plaintiffs’ representatives to negotiate an agreement, which the court subsequently approved, that led to an expansion of the 2-for-1 credits.”

Citations needed. Was she actually shocked? Or was she forced to act by federal judges? Because it really sounds like federal judges stepped in to stop her team. Otherwise it sounds like she would never have known about this at all because it’s subordinate cops/prosecutors doing their regular exploitative work that she supported and collaborated with to put people in cages.

Did you keep reading from there? Did you know she was a prosecutor putting people in cages for money?

“As far as I know, she did very little if anything to improve the criminal justice system when she was attorney general… The way I look at it is, she was really late to the party and more importantly when she had the authority to do something as attorney general she was absent… I’m very skeptical of her views of criminal justice at this point, she basically carried on the policies of her predecessor for the most part in battling us on getting the prison population down and anything else that the government wanted to do to prevent prison conditions from improving.”

"Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state’s attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent,” Lara Bazelon, a law professor and the former director of the Loyola Law School Project for the Innocent in Los Angeles, wrote in a blistering op-ed in The New York Times a week before Harris formally launched her campaign.

Crypto is past the hype cycle and into the actually useful phase.

It’s all too common when anti-crypto people don’t understand crypto101.

Seriously lol? Is this a red fash thing? Like vanguard cops and MLM cops? No thanks.

Many many “jobs” under capitalism are a form of guard labor. Cops are just the most explicit.

The problem is not “corporate greed”. There is no such thing as a generous or ethical corporation.

The problem is the global system of violently enforced capitalism.

Ukraine does not … have allies that have nukes.

Wat?

Palestinians are also people.

Are people writing “she” instead of “they” misogynistic and transphobic too?

There’s no such thing as “reverse racism”, “misandry”, etc. That’s not how systemic oppression works.

The recent article of China’s minister of science and technology Yin Hejun rates highly the AI achievements of China. It mentioned the volume of local AI market in 2023 was 500 billion yuan, the number of AI companies is above 4400, among these companies 108 with capitalization over 1 billion US dollars.

They gotta measure this grift in cash since the “intelligence” metrics are all bullshit.

Local news too busy promoting fascist propaganda from sinclair.

Every single republican is also a liberal. It’s the dominant ideology of capitalism and its state.

The difference is that the liberalism of republicans is more “classic” in that it’s heavily mixed with racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, classism, etc.
