i love that every rightwinger talks like this now

"Too many kids doing computer jobs, we need to get them back in factories." There is really no way to exaggerate how deranged this shit is.

Remember how all the rich people and politicians said that people should learn stem and work in technology? Well human product, the needs of capital have shifted and we need you to learn the exciting field of Chimney Sweep

I hope that I am not right, but I do not think that the GOP fucking over rural areas will result in rural areas blaming the GOP: instead they'll double-down on blaming imaginary cultural enemies and resentment/fantasy about how the cities must be worse.

In a less imperfect world, Musk and Trump would be forever cast as killers of children, and this would be front-page news for months and the subject of Sunday sermons in every church.

NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk. “When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.” The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children. Don’t ever forget.

bad news for Mamdani: i just imagined him shooting at my feet with two revolvers while shouting "dance! dance, ya varmint, dance!!" and then cackling so maniacally that his cowboy hat falls off. When will he go on TV to apologize for doing this

Brad Lander has been the beloved goofy dad of the NYC Jewish left for the past decade and I'm so glad that he's receiving the national recognition he rightfully deserves. Truly a mensch!

You know, I look back at my middle school and teen years and my music choices and I’m like…hell yeah I’ve ALWAYS had good taste

This story starts off by introducing us to 11 women ages 19-35 who get themselves into the ER regularly on purpose via strategies like overdosing just enough and swallowing objects, costing the hospital over £250,000 a year, all for a safe space to sleep. Universal basic income makes far more sense

Elizabeth Warren says “of course I’ll vote” against the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care during the point of order.

Someone enjoying watching me iron in the laundry room

They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare. They cream their jeans over the thought of an Alligator Alcatraz. Truly evil, vile, miserable people that only want the worst for everyone.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

A stunning scoop from @mariasacchetti.bsky.social: Despite pledging to target criminals, the Trump administration has freed a three-time felon from prison in exchange for his testimony against Abrego, a wrongly deported man who has not been convicted of a crime www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Second look at strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as basis for government?

i kind of think the opening sequence in STAR TREK (2009) is the best thing abrams ever put to film

America really about to destroy itself due to racism and greed. Tracks. Predictable end.

But her emails?

just watched a video on insta of this woman in nyc making her older korean folks birria tacos and the dad said it was “bussin’” in a thick korean accent. don’t tell me this country isn’t already great

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

This is the kind of headline they show in a TV show to indicate a dictator is on the rise

Hahahaha. Well if someone from the Trump administration said something then we know it’s rock solid.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

It’s my parents’ 48th anniversary and they accidentally got each other the same card. So that’s disgustingly adorable.

this is just an observation but one way to think of the civil war is that it WAS about states rights, but the right in question was the right of free states to stay free

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

It is simply the case that a Supreme Court with 701 Justices on it is less of a farce than one that effectively guts the 14th Amendment just because.

i cannot wait for the wokeness blowback so bad. wokeness is going to be so much more widespread and powerful than ever before
