Malixe (pronounced like 'malice' with an 'x'.)

Every time I see some candidate being called a "socialist", I look, and what I see is an 'Old School Democrat' doing what Democrats *used* to do before the central party organism became a bunch of jello-spined, corporate-fed neoliberals. I want ALL the FDR Democrats, please.

The thing about making billions of $$$$$$$$$$ is that they all come from somewhere. If you make a mountain of dirt, somewhere there’s a giant hole.

"If we pay doctors to report this thing that doesn't happen, they will, and then we can say Look at this thing happening!" Which seems likely to work, at least well enough for their purposes.

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

“We want to ensure knowledge of the President’s persistent sexual abuse doesn’t affect how people vote” is Earth incinerating moral depravity.

Staggering blind ignorance to go along with racism and bigotry. How is this guy in charge of ANYTHING?

Whether it’s Republicans openly demanding bribes or Democrats investigating the payment of bribes, both parties have created a tense and politicized environment for CEOs.

It absolutely is critical. Zuckerturd, Ellison, Bezos, Musk, all the rest should have their companies broken up because they're monopolies or national security threats, and they should have their assets seized because they're gained through illegal competitive practices.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

I know it’s really distasteful and dispiriting and gross to think about, but you won’t understand Trumpist politics or the status of women if you don’t understand that a lot of people aren’t just in denial about the prevalence of rape; they are affirmatively pro-rape.

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

Elon Musk is a huge hypocrite

I voted. Please join me. If your vote didn’t matter they wouldn’t be working so hard to block it.

Nothing says unconditional maternal love quite like offloading the emotional burden of adjectives to a predictive text model.

every fawning profile of an AI innovator in the NYT is just a future essay in The Cut about why kids no longer talk to their parents

Idgaf what AOC says I refuse to accept the framing of Woke 1.0 what you had was one of the largest uprisings against racism in US history that reverberated throughout the social structure to the extent that businesses that otherwise didn't give a shit had to at least look like they cared

Dems just need to channel FDR, 21st Century version. Here's a good start, from 1936: "Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob". Also: "They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred," The stakes today are just as high.

Arrest Musk and take all his money. (It’s what Putin would do).

The rumors about Lindsay Graham are nothing new.

Sigh, if you don’t speak out when you have no power, how will voters/ people trust that you will speak up when you do have power. No kings spoke up DSA spoke up Leftists spoke up That is why they are winning, while Democrats hope to ride the coattails.

FBI official charged with doing fucking job

I don't understand why racists are worried about Abdul El-Sayed, he was Lacrosse team captain at Oriel College, Oxford which frankly is the whitest shit I've ever heard of.

Airbnb hosts stripped of their ability to make the people paying them also do a bunch of chores

Our bill to stop private equity from buying up homes is now law. Despite Donald Trump's refusal to sign it, his Administration must now implement it. We'll be watching closely to ensure it's done right.

Every Airbnb instruction list is like, "Hey, you dumb fuck. You wanted to stay in my shitty investment property? Asshole. Fine, I'll fucking let you, dipshit. The water heater is broken, by the way. Fix it or I'll charge you $200. And no laughing past 7 pm! We record everything."

So sad

Whenever we travel, I generally do the research for accommodations wherever we're going, and in almost every market (not universally, but close) there are well-reviewed hotels that are as cheap or cheaper than the Airbnbs. It's a genuinely near-useless service!

The attack ad against Acton is another in a long list of right-wing gotchas that have blown up in their face -- Eric Schmitt's attack on Jack Smith, the conspiracy that Talarico was in rehab, Tommy's heckling of El-Sayed, etc etc. Their echo chambers keep convincing them to do incredibly dumb shit

'Sweet Jane In My Pants'

'There's a Monster In My Pants In My Pants' Oh, wait... I guess that just makes it redundant.

'Fat Bottomed Girls In My Pants'

'Same Old Song and Dance In My Pants'

I want you to understand that most of these big game studios are still profitable, even Bioware. The problem is leveraged buyouts, which means taking out massive loans in order to buy someone else's company. It's like buying a luxury car you can't afford, then paying it off by selling it for parts.

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

Speaking of nightmares... (as I was) youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ

Retired for almost a year, and NOW I'm having *work* nightmares? I mean I could be having nightmares about dying Ukrainians and treasonous presidents. Not any more pleasant, but it would at least make sense. But f*cking WORK? GAH.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Dropped mine off in a ballot box this evening. But I still can't help feeling my vote is being suppressed. WHERE'S MY GAH-DAMN STICKER!?? theneedling.com/2026/10/19/k...

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.
