Scientific Socialism

With rising global temperatures, an uptick in food related diseases, and a general degradation of the university system, do you feel that we should start reminding people that socialism is rooted in scientific exploration. Even if you’re not a strict Marxist, people like Albert Einstein
and Bertrand Russell were very prominent members of the scientific community and were also fierce advocates of pretty broad democratic socialism. We need to follow in their footsteps once more

Devastating last words from little Hind Rajab before being murdered by the IDF: Medic: Hind, why aren’t you speaking?” She said “I’m not talking because every time I talk, blood comes out of my mouth and makes my clothes dirty. And my mom doesn't want my clothes to be dirty.”

Apart from the ableism, this is a massive reason why everyone should be against wage labor. If you need your labor measured to get resources, how is that not going to be skewed towards oppressors who pretend they live in a vacuum?

a post by @ma1ybe that says "my classmate in med school studies for seven hours every evening and exercises daily. I used to ask him how did he manage it & he said, 'I'm very disciplined'. I met his wife yesterday. she told me how she cooled him three fresh meals daily, mowed their lawn, ran all errands, cleaned the house weekly, and handled all social plans. It made me wonder how many times 'discipline' means a woman doing all of the other essential work that keeps a life going"

biology isn't a binary, and models aren't reality. Saying that sex is reality is like saying the dictionaries tell us how language should be used. Sex is nothing but the model of applying the gender binary to the body, and right wingers clearly know this and use it.

A tweet of the text "Transmisogyny is the fact that I'd be arrested for showing "female" breasts in public, but then put into a men's prison because I'm "not a woman". Trans women are only considered women when it justifies more harm. We are never considered women when it would protect us from harm."

Your lack of consumption could be helpful, but it will never outweigh the systematic destruction of the environment done by capitalism. The only way we stop this is by organizing, and so that should be your main focus. Please stop focusing on your consumption so much, its not that important

A tweet from vive con propòsito with a picture of an huge armored boat with the caption "The cost of filling the tank of this $300 million armored megayacht is $1.2 million" and a response from Shafeeq @Y2SHAF that says "It's ok. I brought my reusable bag to the store today so it completely balances this out."

Farmers Backed Tariffs: A Costly Choice Now Coming Due

TikTok | Bluewaverising

Wild how “government handouts” are socialism, right up until Trump’s tariffs hit your farm. Then suddenly it’s just “helping hardworking Americans.”

Farmers are being crushed. Diesel has surged, fertilizer has skyrocketed, machinery and repairs cost more, and tariffs have added costs to critical farm inputs, all while many crop prices and profit margins remain weak.

Some farmers are now facing the possibility of losing land and family farms that took generations to build; Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies have been rising, with April 2026 filings hitting their highest monthly level in more than six years. Source 1

They were promised tariffs would protect American farmers. Instead, many are watching their costs explode and their livelihoods disappear, and now the government is being asked to bail them out from policies they were told would make them prosper.
