it’s so awesome when people ask me where they can read nancy, and i get to say “just go on comics dot com slash nancy.”

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.

if we’re still pretending that Mitch McConnell is alive then we should be able to criticize him for his silence on the anniversary of 9/11

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

Apple workers could have gotten $4 MILLION each over 8 years. Instead, Apple spent $650 BILLION on stock buybacks. Shareholders got rich. Workers got nothing. This isn't investment. It's theft. Tax the rich.

Yale is on the verge of cutting a deal with Trump to change its admission procedures. Reminder for any school dealing with Trump's extortion: You can't appease a tyrant. Surrendering to authoritarianism only invites more of it.

We really shouldn't stop with Paramount and WB. Disney shouldn't be able to own ABC, ESPN, AND Hulu. All of these conglomerates need to be broken up.

We need actual Proof of Life. Beshear should appoint a replacement NOW. That's what Mitch world do. Honor his memory, appoint a replacement NOW.

The most sober, terrifying thing I can say as a Trump presidential historian is that what happened tonight was not about you, me, or America. He's going to do what he's going to do based on how he convinces *himself* to do it. Nothing else matters. He's not listening to anyone.

Nicolas Cage’s best movie.

The three largest RAM manufacturers in the world are being sued for allegedly working together to fix the supply and price of memory, leading to the recent surge in price for consumers. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ram-man...

Sure bud lets have full public access to your home security system cameras, car surveillance and driving history, laptop and phone webcam and internet search history first then we’ll talk

Why it’s time for Democratic socialism!

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

🚨 BREAKING ACTION: Congress just formally leveled six Articles of Impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. From rewriting the Constitution to shield the executive branch to massive conflicts of interest, the high court has gone rogue. Tell your reps to back impeachment NOW: 👇

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

He's not planning on leaving. That's what the ballroom bunker equipped with drones is for. It's why he's calling for Thune to fire the parliamentarian who's refusing to allow the $1B for the ballroom in the reconciliation bill. It's why he's paying the insurrectionists with his slush fund.

Be the person they know you can be

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

If politicians actually cared about protecting children or their constituents they'd nationalize (or at least regulate) social media companies. Instead they allow big tech to operate without oversight in exchange for ID laws that harvest even more data from users. It's why big tech is pushing it

The human body was not meant to endure 2 trump terms in one lifetime.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop? Full breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=lTSCC_9-FpY

I’ve been offline for awhile, but emptywheel is still the best: youtu.be/9ezt6X40MFs Absolutely the best source of information in our modern times. Passionate, pragmatic, extremely competent, and almost like a politics whisperer.

Wow! Someone made an entire video of Street Fighter characters destroying a Tesla Cybertruck. Link: youtu.be/jQaOLoH2uRM

The main difference between communism and capitalism is the path it takes to oligarchy.

We can speculate all day about the potential perils of shutting down the government vs. give Trump/Elon a blank check CR to decimate it all, including our social security and Medicaid. It's a simpler choice. We can either go down fighting on our feet or compliant on our knees. I want the fight.

it doesn't matter if the CR was bad or anywhere near good; as long as lawlessnes reigns supreme in Washington you don't vote for a single GOP bill or a single GOP nominee, why is this so fuckin' hard to understand

Someone needs to invent a pharmaceutical drug that treats greed, which I consider to be a mental illness. Prove God wrong.

Someday Idiocracy will be a holy text, in an unironic sense...it'll be like a foundational text, like the Illiad or the Bible.

As always just swap "America" with "Donald Trump." It's always what he means.

no party is responsible for raising other ppl kids. the right cant preach “parents rights” & then blame society b/c their kids turned out terrible. lots of young adults (incl women) have shitty ideas at that age. you get a clue when you become an adult & take responsibility for those shortcomings

I'm not sure why we are pretending this has anything to do with "DEI" anymore. There is a systematic effort to purge any acknowledgement that race or racism or gender or misogyny EXIST

This.

Trump WANTS a recession Billionaires pay for politicians, SCOTUS seats, lobbyists etc. Ask yourself why billionaires want you to believe the government is more corrupt than the billionaires who pay for it? Billionaires chomping at the bit to buy your house in a recession. Pay attention.

Given how much Europe and the rest of Nato has to lose...I would say yes

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

intentionally leaving us vulnerable should be grounds for removal

I don’t know. This is seeming less and less like a Russian hoax.
