I can’t help thinking that using the term “boomer” in the pejorative is just as wrong as using the term “gay” in the pejorative it’s casting stereotypes & too broad to me it’s like using a slogan on some bandwagon I’m not on that bandwagon

Lina Khan on Mamdani: "One thing we saw the mayor be very attentive to is all sorts of daily nickel and diming -- taking on junk fees, subscription traps. Those can seem very micro and targeted, but in the aggregate I see those as really designed to take on unfair methods of competition."

That story, yeah, that broke last week and most of us read it

Related: I’m still looking for leads and help on jobs, fellowships, and freelance contracts on drones, GIS, aid, disaster, OSINT, tech ethics, and journalism. I simply will not work for evil people and/or weapons manufacturers, which is also why I haven’t had paying work since Trump 2.0 began.

Rest of sentence: “off American consumers.” Who does Bozo think is paying that “freaking fortune”?

The global far right is global. Opposition to it should be too

"We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections." ☝️🧿🧿 👍

I really like the point made here: Dems should be making a public case right now for novel tactics like defunding Trump's corrupt prosecutions, to make them more intelligible later:

Do you have questions about ballot security and voting access? We want to hear from you: https://bit.ly/4BommB0

during the 2023 WGA strike. a real one.

New in PN: Ramaswamy discovers that voters have their limits "This is the nature of today’s right-wing bubble, whose residents are not only acculturated to a particular political style — cruel, often hateful — but become convinced it’s the only effective way to do politics, & any other way is weak"

The invite should have been their first fucking clue Whoever thinks anyone in the White House & administration is redeemable, is themselves delusional & gullible Grant this WH no grace bc they won’t grant you any

lol

ask yourself who was the first person to say "T&C" and why all this shit is from goddamned underlings underlings & goon lawyers but the Senate? who the fuck are they going to refer any guilty parties to, this DoJ? GTFOH

The phrasing of posts like this frustrates the fuck out of me at times. "Bottom 60?" What a bullshit statement.

the world at war

I wish I was rich and pretty enough to have a job as a “socialite.”

the legal gamesmanship of goon corporate lawyers justice is only for those who have enough money, bc it'll be generations before congress address any of this

im telling myself that its not decafe

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

all because oligarchs didnt like EU regulations and decided it was better to tear it all down

no blanche no, fucking no, fuck you blanche, you're the one full of god damned bull shit you stop it

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

Honestly trying to remember how to react to something close actually tipping the right way.
