Monopoly capitalism ruining studio after studio while reactionary gamers complained about black people and women in games, if you put it in a novel it would get trashed as didactic and heavy handed

To-do list for SD Mayor Pete and DSD Uncle Frank (and the transition team): - at 1201 rip down the stupid fucking sign, regardless of whether Congress has officially changed the name (not looking good for the 27 NDAA lol) - at 1202 issue orders to rename all the confederate bases back*

"Who is Lamine?" And aboslute madman!

eliminate EV subsidies, ban cheap overseas EVs, ban EV component import, deport people bringing battery technology to the US, pay billions to kill clean energy projects, end fuel economy standards, and then do THIS is such an elaborate prank on the American people you almost have to respect it

Fresh hell for people who sit at public EV chargers until 100%

BREAKING: Human rights and anti-war organizations are launching a campaign to demand the top Biden officials who promoted or lied about the Gaza genocide be boxed out from future Democratic administrations and other liberal spaces. Rashida Tlaib & Chris Rabb signed on. More expected to join.

Read this thread. Then wash your eyes, brush your teeth, maybe get some sun, call a friend you haven’t talk to in a bit. The so called smart people with a GTA unlimited money glitch are raging dorks who need a shitty sex cult to get laid

Lawler is a little smug odious toad. Just reeks of never being put in his place

Sept. 21, 2020: Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Oneil Cruz is involved in a car crash in the Dominican Republic that kills three people. This is how Cruz avoided prosecution — with the help of a local fixer who would go on to become a Red Sox legend’s business partner. THREAD:

Good morning with good news: Solar takes all the power growth in Texas, reducing prices & gas generation. Solar & batteries cut prices by ~33% and cut hours with prices over $100/MWh by 75%! Gas was forecasted to rise 15% in 2026 but now may decline! www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti... #energysky

This seems absurdly simple, but: Republicans talk *all the time* about how Democrats are bad. Not this or that individual Democrat, but the party, the ideology, the very idea of Democrats. Democrats almost never do this about Republicans. Not in a coordinated, concerted way.

The media gave more coverage to a totally fake, invented idea that the federal government was withholding aid to Hurricane Helene victims in 2024 than to Trump actually doing it in 2025/26. Why did the fake story get more coverage than the real one?

The correct Democratic position on every issue is “I will undo everything Donald Trump has done, I will destroy everything he has built, and I will impose consequences on him and everyone who helped him do it.” No negotiation. Rip it all down.

This is the absolute bottom it’ll ever be and without a popular movement to legitimize trans athletes and kids in sports. When that happens the numbers will flip

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

The idea that abject cruelty & the people that embrace it to the point of obsession should be granted some sort of pass from the most vicious, personal, and comprehensive mockery, derision, and social sanction is absurd. Antifascism is a contact sport and we aren’t even talking about actual contact!

New from me: More than a trillion dollars flow through the federal government in grants. We have more and more evidence that the Trump administration has been directing those grants on purely partisan grounds, denying them to blue states. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/governing-...

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

It’s fairly simple to most of us: they like him because he makes their job easy. You can simply write what he says and it will receive clicks and views. They’re allowed to be lazy and still pass with flying colors at their jobs. Post-Trump will be fascinating

I just utterly detest that this craven loser is my senator. A toady and a foreign agent for Israel. Dominion SC literally emails us all the time to turn up thermostats on extremely hot days. I guess normal utility communications are woke and gay. Why do we have to share power with these freaks

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Think we can all agree both these teams are garbage. Spurs can’t close a game out if their families lives depended on it. Knicks are a momentum team that would have got smacked up by a healthy Celtics. Probably worst champions since 2020 Lakers or Raptors?

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

A prerequisite for a candidate receiving funding from the DNC/voters: basic progressive policy understanding and implementation, love of gov't/public sector, and to take an improv/acting/freestyle rap class for media training. There is a mile wide path for competent, progressive leaders right now

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

First: hilarious. Second: A core belief of Trump-brand conservativsm is there are and never have been difficult problems, only dumb leaders without the strength to be cruel enough to solve them. It's why they always look so baffled when pushing the "more cruelty" button doesn't seem to work.

FUCKING THIS X100000000000000000000

Incredible season boys. UCONN had zero business being in a championship game let alone a final four this year with the lack of a scorer. Gave one of the greatest tournaments teams a massive scare on some cold shooting in the second half. Nothing but love for this team

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Perfectly succinct. This team is mentally stuck in similar patterns and it isn't letting up or changing, regardless of personnel. Other Liverpool commentators: please stop flashing meaningless xG or form stats our way.

Just a standard Liverpool performance now. A lot of sterile possession and low value efforts. We'll get a good chance from an opposition mistake or a bit of individual brilliance. Nothing repeatable though. Nothing sustainable.

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

Statement from SCDP Chair Christale Spain on Governor McMaster’s Endorsement of Pamela Evette

I mean, this is a once in a generation political talent that has fully understood the shortcomings of previous similar liberal politicians: beautiful speeches and hope alone isn't enough. Wielding power and delivering promises in the name of solidarity and compassion is paramount.

Immigrants in the US consumed about 24% fewer welfare and entitlement benefits per capita than native-born Americans in 2023, new Cato Institute research finds. Learn more from Alex Nowrasteh and Jerome Famularo: https://ow.ly/2w4Z50Y4Bsj

Oh Billy boy. You're about to be wildly disappointed and bewildered. Welcome to the worst opposition party in modern day politics.

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Jesus christ man zip it up after you're in public

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.
