there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

Dune Part 3 will probably be good.

Dolly Parton lived with a gay man for years. She was a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ folks and a philanthropic champion of childhood literacy and education, vaccines, and the black people in her community. "We don't know what her politics were"? Please. She lived them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/a...

You either believe that a state is entitled to deny self-government or self-determination to 33% of its population indefinitely based on ethnicity or you don't. Everything else is commentary.

it is genuinely crazy that voters consistently say they think democrats are not attentive to the issues that matter to them like the economy and centrist writers’ solutions to this involve democrats loudly talking about cultural preoccupations

people are being weird about this. as the Guardian article (which is actually good) says, the guy put himself through community college and has been a local councilman for five terms and is a union organizer that's Normal. you want that shape of guy, which isn't the same shape as oyster guy at all!

A lot of liberals have been negatively polarized into being pro-apartheid because they think Palestinians were invented in 2023 specifically to make life inconvenient for Joe Biden.

I truly believe replacing hold music with audio of people talking that is both unstoppable advertisements and designed to sound like a representative picked up is one of the most evil aspects of modern life.

the fundamental double standard in American politics is that any given Democrat is supposed to have an opinion on Darializa Chevalier but no Republican will ever be pressed on Randy Fine, Brandon Gill, or Andy Ogles

Troy Jackson is an actual logger from Northern Maine who went to local schools and community college and got involved in politics through organized labor. He is in a lot of ways the candidate that Platner admirers think Platner is.

One thing AI LLMs are very good at: convincing their victims that mediocrity is greatness, and that the ability to generate high volumes of mediocre content is a substitute for skill, talent, or work. This is the distinct impression I get every time I look at LinkedIn.

hawks will be like "you really believe in negotiating a joint comprehensive plan of action with Iran? that pales in comparison to my strategy, winning a war of regime change" and then not win a war of regime change

alito and thomas think the creation of majority-minority voting districts is itself discriminatory. but the goal of the voting rights act wasn't to usher in an era of harmony by eliminating all racial categories, it was to alleviate discrimination by whites against blacks, particularly in the South

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

The drinking age should be lowered to 18, but admission to bars and nightclubs should stay at 21+.

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Rachel McAdams is doing great, but I hate this format for the In Memoriam.

most of my anger towards dems is they repeatedly invoke this trope and then do not govern, either in majority or minority, as if it was true. whereas i actually often do believe it and believe the responsibility to act like it’s true extends past the first week of november

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Kind of interesting to see Crockett's supporters say "electability is rooted in racism" when Lucy McBath, Raphael Warnock and Lauren Underwood all flipped Republican-held seats in places Trump previously won. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I wish more people on here understood that James Talarico winning the primary isn't some sort of hate crime.

What is important here is not the Iranian schoolgirls who are being blown up, but US servicemen being "put in danger."

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
