people magazine should have named zohran the sexiest man alive because it's true and it would piss off the worst people

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

The Sacramento Republic in stadium host asked their fans to turn their phone lights on to “show Oakland Roots how we get down,” and lol lmao. We could all live in Sac and all of us choose not to.

Into my fucking VEINS!!!!!!

Absolutely remarkable turn of events late in the first half as Oakland Roots SC takes a 2-1 lead to the break. Roots still needs help from Lexington SC against Phoenix Rising to earn a place in the #USL-C Playoffs.

Danny Trejo has an equalizer for Oakland Roots SC right before the halftime break. Roots still need at least one more goal and some help from Lexington SC in Phoenix, but they're alive. #USL-C

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

They’ll print anything now

He stopped Ukrainian interceptor drones in flight, letting Russian missiles and drones through that were aimed at civilians.

I wasn’t sure about the billionaire tax, but Andreessen has been in the news recently so I voted for it. Our proposition system is fundamentally broken and we should reform it. End Prop 13, end recalls, end propositions and empower the legislature. Then make the legislature use its power.

Gonna do a fed post

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

But the unwritten rules of US politics say that you must refer to such matters in the dry vernacular of federal lawmaking and policy, which contains no language for lawless corruption of this magnitude. So the reality of it is disguised from us; everything gets a rhetorical veneer of legitimacy.

What’s astounding to me is how “the president builds himself a palace with money given directly to him in secret by the richest people in America,” literally the most straightforward and worst executive-branch corruption story in US history, just gets shrugged at because Trump is unapologetic

Q: You said you're gonna put some of your own money into the ballroom. Are you? TRUMP: I may do that. When they run out, I'll be there, okay?

I consider myself a fairly compassionate & empathetic person, but the more I read about people in this particular demographic -- wealthy Gen X white men radicalized by social media & group chats -- the more I loathe them. I understand them *too well* to sympathize. They are contemptible & weak.

A tit for tat cycle with every trifecta certainly isn’t ideal and we do no need to think about ways out of that. But at least that’s a Court where one party’s control isn’t perpetually self-entrenched until enough randomly timed convenient deaths short circuit the partisan timed retirement game.

OSSOFF: You didn't answer earlier. Answer now. Did Donald Trump win the 2020 election? MIKE COLLINS: You know, the 2020 election. Everybody has seen my views on that OSSOFF: What are they? COLLINS: There was a lot of doubt in that election OSSOFF: I didn't hear an answer

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

Ossoff: "We will repeal the tariffs, which will reduce grocery prices. We will end this disastrous war which has driven diesel to $6. And we will repeal the healthcare cuts that have doubled premiums for more than a million Georgians. Those are things we can and need to do immediately."

No recommendation on G and endorsing Connie Chan. Jesus Christ.

For the first time in our chapter’s history, DSA SF has a public voter guide! Our socialist analysis of the ballot puts working people before billionaires. The fight for a better SF doesn't end at the ballot box. 🌹 dsasf.org/vote 🎨 @artiskraa on ig

The pen that could’ve kept roots season alive was probably wrongly awarded, saved, rebounded in, and then chalked off because of encroachment. Keeper was not in the six yard box.

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.
