i don't think it's that crazy it's a lot harder to use public money to build a complicated interconnected grid of rail infrastructure than it is to use private money to build a bunch of big warehouses. like i don't think it's great only one of those is possible but what i do not think it is is crazy

How the fuck did 15k people like this? People just really don’t use their own brains anymore do they?

quite frankly there's a lot of people who, because they are obscenely online, care more about people saying the right things rather than doing the right things

a weird set of people who only exist online are people who celebrate the defeat of global fascism in every other country and are then horrified and appalled at the idea that they should also be expected to vote for their domestic opponent of global fascism if some of their stances are Problematic

My dad, a Black man born in Louisiana in 1934, instilled in me at a young age just how important voting is. He made it very clear that my ancestors had fought for and died for this right. And now I see so many people throw that right away today and I think that is despicable. Vote people, vote.

The narratives coming out of this World Series are going to be so fucking annoying. Gonna have to avoid MLB Network for a few days lol.

it usually comes coupled with a sincere belief that no one *really* disagrees with them

Abortion is illegal in multiple states because every republican appointed justice lied about how they would vote.

anyone ever notice how republicans don't run on half the evil shit that they do? ever notice how that works?

eh go fuck yourself. "be neutral on [insert interest] when you run and then stick it to the industry when you win" is a time honored way of actually getting things done.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

Because there are 10s of thousands of Democratic electeds in the United States, and you have positioned yourself directly into a media environment that is designed to find every statement a Democrat makes that is even vaguely transphobic as soon as it happens.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

After years of social media use I've come to the conclusion that bubbles are good, actually. In no other aspect of our lives are we expected to invite assholes over on the theory that they might be convinced to adopt our views. I didn't sign up because I wanted another source of stress in my life.

I mean she knows that she’s lying to people about what the problem is because she knows that gets her more clicks and money

Yet another lost year for USC football. And it’s not going to change anytime soon 😔

My preseason predictions were a disaster but I did call the Brewers in the World Series. Who I had them playing was WAY off though lol. But for my Postseason bracket I said I didn’t think anybody was beating the Rays so I’m sticking with it. Rays in 5.

Chase Harlan lets off a loud rifle round in the AFL for a homer, holy.

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

Running this back again to emphasize. They will pay $10 per gallon for gas as long as they BELIEVE the administration will only target Black and marginalized communities.

Man, that was an impressive win by the Lakers. It’s only 1 game but it’s definitely a promising start to a new era.

Fascinating that as even as other Republicans who long ago sold their souls to MAGA still have enough baseline political acumen to see how poisonous this is, Vance is completely oblivious. It isn't just that he has no principles, decency, or moral compass, he's also really fucking bad at politics.

They are destroying the administrative state & throwing all of us to the wolves. Doesn't matter if you voted for them or not, MAGA/MAHA are driving us into a chaotic, deadly, pre-20th century wilderness of no aid for states devastated by disasters; no regulation... share.google/0kdXsvm8ER8q...

lmao what a loser

Reminder: The Congressman in the picture below got a steel plate in his head for YOUR right to vote:

Remember, These three men, Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner, all died for your right to vote:

That reminds me, Manny Machado still owes that one guy $300 million

Black voters are driving the early voting surge in the South because they won’t be silenced. After the SCOTUS Callias decision, Republicans wasted no time gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. Now some of those safe red districts are shifting left & looking a lot more competitive. Oops.

Winning feels good. Channeled my inner Rihanna for some celebration shenanigans. 💰🍾✊🏾 Run me my coins, @washingtonpost.com!

Sitting out an election is not an option. VOTE EARLY! Make sure your family votes. Check on your friends. Help someone get to the polls. #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly

Until 1920, women could be denied the right to vote simply for being women. And even then, Black women were left behind. People were beaten, jailed, terrorized, and murdered fighting for rights too many take for granted today. #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly

I take my right to vote so seriously because people DIED fighting for it. Black men gained voting rights in 1870, but Jim Crow laws, violence, and intimidation kept generations from the ballot box. It took until 1965 to pass the Voting Rights Act. #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly 🧵

People don't vote for Republicans to make their lives better, they vote Republican so the GOP will make other people's lives worse.

Just saw the “top” and “latest” tabs on quote posts and I love it so much. So much easier to navigate.

You are incredibly naive if you think this is the reason we don’t have Universal Healthcare.

This Postseason really could not have gone much worse for Rob Manfred lmao. A small market World Series where BOTH teams took out the supposed unbeatable juggernaut in their respective leagues. And one of them will win their franchises first World Series title ever. Truly hilarious.

Certain incompetent small market owners in shambles right now!! Screaming, crying, throwing up!

We’re gonna have a first time would series winner from a small market a month before the owners lock the players out over the sport being unfair for small market teams. Bless their hearts!
