    An asteroid is hurtling towards Earth. The world’s diplomats come together to address the emergency. And they spend the whole time talking about how to create “market mechanisms” to try and avoid actually paying for asteroid defense. That’s basically so far.

    Yet another racist and deeply cruel cartoon in the Australian, smearing both the refugees we've tortured and the doctors who treat them. God, the endless appetite for this bile, this poison—when will you say enough?

    Reminiscent of Trotsky’s bit about the conditions that gave rise to National Socialism: ‘... there lives alongside of the twentieth century the tenth or the thirteenth. A hundred million people use electricity and still believe in the magic power of signs and exorcisms.’

    Weird flying into Sydney today and encountering the smoke haze. If you’d told people a couple of generations ago that the country would be burning like this because the actions of fossil fuel corporations and governments, they would have predicted riots. And yet here we are.

    You think I’m a Trump supporter because I disapprove of someone smearing Jeremy Corbyn?

    Replying to @mtaibbi
    The more you post this stuff the harder it is to believe you’re not a secret Trump supporter.

    This is unbelievable. There is no depth to which Russiagate hustlers at places like the Altantic Council will not sink. The latest: trying to smear Britain’s Labour Party in response to a damaging document leak about US-UK talks involving access to NHS

    Tories trying to taint both Jeremy Corbyn & leaked docs he's demanded answers for -- which exposed secret US-UK talks about selling off UK health service -- by speculating it's all the work of, who else: "Russians." Based, on who else: NATO-US funded "independent researchers."

    'They provide a romantic way into a realm that retains a connection to the working class street while living the high life.’ Fascinating account of the mafia film in the era of the anti-elitist elite.

    This would be the same ‘thugs’ who copped a massive fine for insisting on facilities for women on a building strike.

    Real feminists hate unions apparently.
