John Brown stan account endorsing slavery and worker exploitation via a grocery co-op strawman. Post 1: "I have it on good authority from a friend who lives in Pittsburgh that the East End Food Co-op is legitimately the most expensive place you can shop in Pittsburgh by a country mile. There's an Aldi three blocks away where you can shop for 1/5 the price." Post 2: "Food co-ops are very funny to me. Can't compete on price, selection, service, ambiance, or quality, so we will compete on... ideology!"

Post from Occupy Democrats: BREAKING: Kash Patel was just busted LYING TO CONGRESS in order to protect pedophiles! Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna have successfully been able to view a slew of unredacted Epstein files, and they discovered that Trump's disgraced and wildly incompetent FBI Director Kash Patel has been lying to Congess, under oath, in order to protect the other rich and powerful men who played major roles in the Epstein sex-trafficking ring. Thanks to pressure from Massie and Khanna, the DOJ reluctantly unredacted an FBI report naming Jewish billionaire Les Wexner, owner of Victoria's Secret and notorious Epstein associate, as one of the co-conspirators in the sex-trafficking ring. "This is significant because Kash Patel testified to Congress that FBI had no evidence of other sex traffickers. This is FBI's own 2019 document listing Wexner as a coconspirator in child sex trafficking. It wasn't unredacted until tonight," said Khanna's partner-in-justice, Rep. Thomas Massie, on Twitter on February 10th. The two spent two hours on February 9th examining unredacted Epstein files and were shocked at what they saw. "Most of the unredacted files were redacted-70 to 80 percent. Massie and I saw that there were six men who were co-conspirators and were being protected. Those names need to be made public. " "There's no excuse for releasing survivors' names while protecting these six men. There are probably more. In just two hours, we saw that these six men were being protected." Kash Patel's FBI is actively engaged in a cover-up on behalf of serial pedophiles and must be fired immediately - and held accountable for his own role in protecting pedophiles.
An anti-trans rant suggesting that democracy could be saved by giving Dems a pass on supporting trans sports rules. Post 1: I don't know how to explain to people that elections have consequences beyond their specific pet issue, and that not caring about those consequences is actually pretty shitty. Post 2: I'm really sick of getting scolded by people who think they hold the moral high ground that, actually, trans sports rules (or whatever) is more important than a literal secret police whisking tens of thousands of people away to concentration camps and then deporting them to torture and death Post 3: Like I agree with you on the trans sports rules! But if my only options are bad trans sports rules that we'll have to work to overturn or *fucking concentration camps*, that's the easiest choice of my life. If it isn't the easiest choice of your life, there's something wrong with you
Pro-genocide thread on a quote post from Eli Valley about The New Yorker platforming Ben Shapiro. Post 1: If only there was something that could have been done to prevent this! Besides drawing cartoons of Biden and Harris personally murdering Palestinians, that is Post 2: Maybe the most morally significant issue of the day was not actually Palestine. (Not that it matters, Biden/Harris would have been better on that too.)
