Wow, what an absolute piece of shit RFK is.

LULA! ✊🏻✨✊🏻✨✊🏻✨✊🏻

Loser shit. My god.

Posting cope on main is an interesting move.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

my inner voice telling me not to go to sleep just yet there is one more thing to ponder

The fact that both Democrats and Republicans are racing to the 10 side of a 90-10 issue really tells you a lot about the state of our democracy (it's a corporatocracy), and how both parties view democracy in general (as a nuisance).

Strong endorse. Will say it again: the pundit class's choice (and it was a choice) to overread 2024 as a seismic cultural shift was a catastrophe for this country, emboldening Trump to go full fascist and encouraging institutional surrender in the face of it. This lives on amid his total collapse.

ez mode solidarity opportunity you might not have been aware of. No Starbucks till the union gets a contract.

🎯"I think people are starving for freedom to, not freedom from. That doesn’t come from government being small enough to fit in your bedroom; it comes from competent government doing its job well enough that Americans don’t have to spend their whole lives managing precarity."

i present to you: today's new york times lead opinion piece. if this doesn't make you realize whose side the times is playing on, you're dense and i can't help you. they are doing free advertising for fascists. there are very few places we can turn to for propaganda-free news now

No, sure, go ahead and trust the guy who doesn't believe in democracy to do good things with your voter data.

Socialism for corporations & billionaires; Market Capitalism for everyone else.

just trying to imagine if like, Hasan Piker said this and not a former high level White House Advisor and #1 donor to Republican campaigns in 2024 and 2026

Using a children’s book to make fun of children being detained, neglected and isolated from their parents is next level fucked up

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.

Democrats: The cup is half full. Republicans: The cup is ours. (overheard in a restaurant many years ago)

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

A person without any govt position, who has numerous financial conflicts of interest, should not conduct US foreign policy. And that’s before we get to the fact that he uses this role to corruptly solicit money for himself. It’s wrong. Many seem to have accepted it, but I’ll never stop objecting.

Here's the thing about regulation under capitalism. Every business has a duty to reject all attempts at reducing its profits, even when people within the business know regulation is necessary. Sometimes good people prevail and guardrails are enacted. But that doesn't happen without a fight.

i never know what to do with this type of post. like. ok! you're scared. maybe you should stop then. what do you want me to do about it

Totally normal country. Totally normal president.

So I guess the administration is also adding funding for parents to take off work and travel to get their babies multiple individual vaccinations? Wait, why are you laughing?

The Plot to Enslave The Americas

Highly usable post from last year

If I was trying to bury Dylan Borland's testimony, I'd probably have him deliver it aboard a UFO from an 90s after-school cartoon.

The rabid keyboard monkeys in James Gunn's Superman were such an apt depiction of this bullshit.

"that Ohio charisma" is BRUTAL

This isn’t complicated. They want teen girls to have babies. It’s an efficient way to derail their education and keep them in low-paid jobs forever. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/the-tru...

Happy to see this news being properly contextualized today. This waiving of NDAs is NOT what disclosure advocates have been hoping for. It applies solely to discussions with AARO Or PURSUE, not members of Congress or their staff. This feels like a catch and kill operation to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I kinda think it should be a career destroying scandal that the head of DHS (a department that shouldn't exist) is completely hallucinating hordes of drones that didn't exist that DHS didn't shoot down.

I suppose when impregnating your wife is experienced as a miserable act that takes great willpower, you're especially pissed at people who just get pregnant on accident cuz they like fucking.

If you don't know Mt. Laurel (paging @miketanier.bsky.social), we're talking about a middle class South Jersey suburb 20+ minutes from Center City Philadelphia. This is a community with a Melting Pot restaurant and indoor trampoline parks, not anarchist bookstores. And this is how they view ICE.

VAMOS ESPAÑA!!! 🇪🇸

That smoke is "drill, baby, drill." That smoke is "wind kills whales." That smoke is "clean, beautiful coal." That smoke is every Republican who has, for over four decades, denied the existence of human-generated climate change while encouraging its acceleration.

An amazing quote from Lindsey Graham in this Atlantic story. It really captures an essential truth about politics that too few people ever really come to terms with. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Literally the most hideous thing another guy will ever say to you. 🤢

I really appreciate that Ossoff calls out the humiliation ritual behind all of this, that a nominee cannot tell the truth if Trump doesn't like it.

The reason's simple. It's the same reason for the roaring return of pogrom level racism. Over decades the Sensibles & the right collaborated to sow the idea for themselves & the public that anything vaguely left coded is militant extremism to be ground to dust & now they're reaping the consequences

The simple math here is $1,000 for every American. Why wouldn't they just... spend that on us?

It's extremely annoying how this wound up being both a huge regressive tax on actual Americans and a huge deficit financed election year stimulus for corporations simultaneously

Imagine this being the legacy you actively chose to leave behind.
