the clintons have a lot to answer for for the shitty people they put in positions of influence throughout the democratic party. it has significantly hobbled progress for over 35 years now.

it's so awesome that it doesn't matter if you're a radical leftie or a VBNMW type who just wants to see some basic consequences for the prez, and it doesn't matter how popular the demand you have is, these motherfuckers just don't care what you think regardless

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

I like how much of the “low information” working or middle class voter discussion implicitly goes hard at the idea that they’re poorer and more susceptible to bad, dumb (mis)info, and I’m not saying people aren’t, but have u seen how rich highly educated people vote?

I can solve this mystery: conservatives don’t actually believe that every job deserves comfort, dignity, and safety because they genuinely believe that society should have a slave class. They won’t say it like that, but functionally they believe that slavery makes for a better society

Whether it’s Chuck Schumer’s daughter getting a spot on OpenAI’s board or it’s Kirsten Gillibrand’s son getting millions in backing for a crypto startup, the children of New York elites always prove that with hard work, anyone can beat the stimga of a family name by A. G. Sulzberger

it’s very validating that there’s no one who’s extremely pro-Israel but then otherwise a normal, kind person. it’s all guys who are disgusted by children’s hospitals.

New post out: Much of the right - led by Elon Musk - has decided the world's problems are caused by "suicidal empathy". I look at where this phrase comes from, why it's a profoundly wrong misdiagnosis, and a misunderstanding of what empathy is. (£/free trial) samf.substack.com/p/the-war-ag...

(1/3) With Dolly Parton's passing, I want to put good words on the wind for her. Feel free to quote reply with your own. Dolly became the single largest donor for the Moderna COVID vaccine because of a chance encounter and friendship with a Vanderbilt researcher Dr. Naji Abumrad years earlier. She

Republicans spent 50yrs for this moment: to disenfranchise millions of Americans. They are one step closer. Instead of following this myopic playbook of attaining a liberal SCOTUS, today’s Democrat leadership is meeting with the wannabe dictator’s son in law to find “common ground”.

Supreme Court, 6-3, hands a provisional win to Trump over his effort to exert control over mail-in ballots, but lots of questions remain about whether the underlying proposal is lawful, as majority concedes. Plus a nationwide injunction in a different case remains in effect, for now,.

No, I don’t think I am. Crops feed people. Data centers create kiddie porn, give people step-by-step instructions to commit suicide, and get people addicted to a products that, quite literally, reduces their brain capacity.

Whoa. Sherrod Brown’s new ad is devastating for Jon Husted. Sarah Bloom Anderson trusted Husted when he looked her in the eye and promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, the program that saves her daughter. One week later, Husted voted to cut Medicaid.

The media is obsessed with the supposed 'extremism' of democratic socialists... Meantime you've got mega-MAGA dude running for statewide office in TX who wants to "round up" Muslims and Chinese people, calls Native Americans "savages," and has a dark nostagia for Rhodesia. My profile of Bo French:

It's sociopathic that neoliberal leaders are smiling through all this while proposing more pipelines. They have the same access to information we do. What's even their end game? All marine life dies in the next couple years but worth it for the money no one can spend?

So many issues get framed around how conservatives want them framed because - the media is in the tank - conservatives are assertive - liberals are timid It’s a perfect shit storm

Just in case anyone doesn't know, you can go to a developer's Steam page and change a setting to ignore this creator. Steam will stop recommending any games they develop or publish. Same as ignoring an individual game but developer-wide.

Ecuadorean fishermen say drones attacked them in the Pacific — English-speaking men in US-flag uniforms, no insignia. 8 missing, several injured. Flight data shows a patrol plane shifting course to stay pointed at all 3 boats. It's on no Pentagon roll, registered to a UPS store mailbox in Virginia.

It's not just that this is, of course, an insane lie—it's that *just thinking about it for ten seconds*, without looking anything up, should make it screamingly obvious that the claim couldn't possibly be remotely close to true. You have to actively shut your brain off to say stuff like this.
