This is like 90% of American politics now, rich assholes who have no interest in progressive outcomes pretending progressive policies aren’t progressive enough.

I'm so out of patience with this kind of mockery. Yes, progressive language is jargon-y and occasionally irritating. You know how long ago that started? Roughly the dawn of time. So be irritated privately. But whining about it is like discrediting a picket sign because you hate the font.

I am finding it so hard to believe how fucking stupid everything is right now.

Right-wing Translation Guide: "western civilization" = white people "meritocracy" = white people get everything "common sense" = stuff white people think "farmers" = white landowners "working class" = white people who pay taxes "job creators" = white people who don't pay taxes

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

don’t make me tap the sign

Obligatory

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

how many times do we have to say that poverty is a systems failure, and not an individual one? and again, don’t ever think it can’t happen to you 🫵🏽

please ENJOY this clip of Mark Zuckerberg *just trying to answer a video call* with the new 'neural band' Meta is shilling and failing miserably during a live demo You get a prize if you can withstand all 1:42 of this youtu.be/D97ILdUbYww?...

I am not a doctor. Thank you.

Congress taking an entire month off in a country where most people don’t get more than 2 weeks vacation is awesome

Say. This.

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.

That one guy from Alabama who is very dumb, can’t remember his name, but he, a village idiot, held up 450 or so military promotions for like a year! Please be fucking for real when you say oh what should they do?

The Blake Lively story just takes me back to this tumblr screenshot whose author I was never able to find

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.

I'm a fan of Dems promoting their economic proposals but let's not kid ourselves: the claim that voters prioritize good economic policy fails to explain how Trump won with an economic platform of gibberish, lies, and bad ideas. Voters were presented a bucket of dog vomit and said "looks delicious."
