  • AIPAC sent out an email directly fundraising for her in September, and also publicly advertised several fundraisers for Craig between June and December. The email states, “Congresswoman Angie Craig has repeatedly demonstrated the kind of courageous, principled, and pro-Israel leadership our movement needs right now. Angie Craig has been a friend of the community since she was first elected to Congress.”

    Even as Craig attempts to distance herself from AIPAC in name as the lobby has become increasingly toxic in American electoral politics, she continues to align with its agenda. Craig has also consistently voted in favor of sending blank-check military aid to Israel, regardless of whether that be in an offensive capacity or defensive capacity for resources like the Iron Dome. The congresswoman does not have a foreign policy section with updated stances on her campaign website.

    Fuck Craig, she’s a fucking Zioinist, and the fact that she’s pinky-swearing they haven’t funded her means nothing.


    Meanwhile, her opponent Flanagan:

    A progressive, she has advocated for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and protecting access to gender-affirming care for minors during her tenure as lieutenant governor.





  • I used to think this, but here’s the problem: new resources to extract mean absolutely fuck all under the current global paradigm.

    There’s enough iron out there to make several tons of it available to every human in existence for whatever they need or want to do. Will that happen? No. It’s not profitable for the owner class to do that. Instead, they will fight amongst themselves until someone has an effective monopoly on asteroid mining, and then limit the supply so they can generate maximal profit (De Beers, anyone?)

    We have the capability, right now, to feed everyone on Earth. To clothe everyone. To house everyone. We don’t. Any resources out there that we might find useful will be gated behind the same greedy, psychopathic group of leeches that currently control everything else.

    The planet isn’t being destroyed because we had no choice. The planet is being destroyed so a bunch of MBAs could show off a nice graph at the quaterly meeting. It is very much delibrate. Any resource extraction in space will solely be done in that it is more profitable than doing it on Earth, climate be damned. We need to fix that problem before asteroid mining for the good of Earth and humanity is even an option.




  • Blatantly false. After the Constitution went into effect, a whopping 6% of the population could vote. You had to own a certain amount of property, be male, and not be a Native American or black person. It wasn’t a democracy. It was an apartheid oligarchy, and very intentionally set up that way. The founders didn’t want the masses of people to vote; several of them were quite afraid of it.

    The USA only became a democracy in the 1960s with the Civil Rights Act and its guarantee of universal suffrage. America became a democracy in spite of its origins, not because of it.
