I can’t even begin to pretend to care about the Donster kicking MSNOW (the artist formerly known as MSNBC) and CNN (aka ZNN) out of the White House. The anchor dollies at MSNOW can’t seem to shut the hell up about how their voices are being stifled and how the First Amendment is being threatened by the denial of access to the Donster’s daily raving’n’drooling press conferences consisting of demented propaganda babbling and not much else, and their inability to dutifully record said raving’n’drooling to parrot back at the addled masses… or, as it’s known in the USA, “journalism”.

Yeah, y’sure heard that right; the people who gave us Kuwaiti Incubator Babies, Iraqi WMDs, Iraqi Yellow Cake Uranium, the Uyghur Muslims and Russiagate – and have spent the last three years beating down public dissent against the Gaza genocide – are screaming and yelling about free speech ‘cos they can’t get a spot at the Donster’s White House media circle-jerk. You’ll pardon my giving sub-zero fucks about any of those kiss-asses.

Democrats and Liberals won’t stand up to fascists and ICE thugs, but they’ll raise holy hell over the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. They’ll gladly abandon Palestine to the IDF to avoid appearing antisemitic and won’t lift a finger for transgendered people because that might cost the DNC an election, but they’ll man the barricades for the goddamn Kennedy Center. That’s right, they’ll try to appease fascists by throwing basic human rights and dignity to the wolves while they protest for A GODDAMN BUILDING.

John the Baptist, after torturing a thief,
Looks up at his hero, the Commander-In-Chief,
saying, “Tell me, great hero, but please make it brief –
is there a hole for me to get sick in?”

The Commander-In-Chief answers him while chasing a fly,
saying “Death to all those who would whimper and cry!”
And dropping a barbell, he points to the sky,
saying, “The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken!”

– Bob Dylan, 1965

For any Fascists or other Trumpsters who may be looking in, I’m just gonna nip this shit in the bud right the fuck now, just ‘cos I can kinda’ see where this is headed…

The old names of the lunar “mare” were names given to them by ancient astronomers who had weak ‘scopes at best and who at first believed the solidified dark basaltic lava plains to be “seas”.

So, don’t even go there, ya’ doorknobs.

It’s all in the name – Democrats first, Socialists second (if at all). If you want to see what the DSA is really all about, just have yourselves a long, steamy gawk at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It’s about sucking the blood of the Left by tempting us with fake “progressive” politicians who insist that the DNC is an institution worth saving and wasting our time and energy before zombifying the People’s movements and shuffling them off to the Movement Graveyard. But, hell; my peeps at the Socialist Equality Party and WSWS lay it out a lot better in words than I can at the moment. Here’s a couple of points from the SEP’s Ninth Congress Resolution re: the DSA, Jacobin Magazine & ilk:

16. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the initial beneficiary of this radicalization. But the DSA is not a socialist party. It is a faction of the Democratic Party, and its principal role is to block the development of an independent political movement of the working class, to capture the movement toward socialism and confine it within the framework of the capitalist two-party system. Wherever it holds office, this function is on display. In New York, Mamdani governs in coordination with the Democratic establishment and the Trump White House, imposing austerity on the workers who elected him, while DSA-aligned officials preside over the destruction of public education and expanding police budgets across the country.

17. The DSA’s central claim, that the Democratic Party can be transformed from within into an instrument of progressive change, is refuted by all historical experience. It is also exposed by the party’s own response to the DSA’s electoral victories. The Democrats’ “centrist” wing has issued a manifesto reaffirming that its members are “capitalists” and launching a new witch-hunt against the party’s own left.

– “The drive to dictatorship and the political radicalization in the United States”, Resolution of the Ninth Congress of the Socialist Equality Party (US),
posted at the World Socialist Web Site 20 August 2026

 

…and here’s a quick rundown of DSA escapades over the last year or two:

> Jacobin’s defense of the Trump–Mamdani pact and the capitalist state
> How the Democratic Socialists of America helped sell out the Philadelphia municipal workers
> After NYC elections, Jacobin offers services of DSA to Democratic establishment, union bureaucracy
> Jacobin advises union bureaucracy on how to respond to wave of contract rejections
> Ocasio-Cortez says pro-Palestinian demonstrations should be ‘shut down’
