At the beginning of the '08 recession I was desperate for work and took a job at one of the last Dairy Queens in Chicago. I was there for two days when my grandma passed. Got permission from the manager to miss work & the day of the funeral the store owner called to berate me for missing my shifts.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Trump is just the worst " fire in the lake" player ever.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Never watched an entire episode of Friends. All the the old ABC full house era shows. Not even one episode. Never watched a full episode of the Cosby show. Maybe two or three episodes of the NCISaverse against my will.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation? I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Everytime I have some petty victory I say " everything's coming up Millhouse!"

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate. I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵

Personal coffee grinder and French press. i saw Micheal Caine use one in a movie and was blown away. Like" wow, he has an electric coffee servant!!"

there’s a “what did you think was a luxury while growing up poor?” thread and one of mine is so silly like…hot dog buns? who can afford special buns just for hot dogs. you put that shit on bread.

I agree.

I guarantee if Obama, both Clintons, and Biden addressed the nation together about the ICE kidnappings and unacceptability of a secret police in America, it would make lots of headlines. They don’t do it cause they don’t want to.

Had a breakout at the local corporate ICE detention facility. I'm guessing they eventually round up everybody but will be somewhat hindered by realities of my community: Everybody fucking hates the fucking cops Everybody fucking hates fucking ICE Everybody really hates fucking private Ice Cops.
