If I were a classroom educator, there's no way in hell I would ever assign take-home essays in this day and age. The kids can't be trusted. It would be in-class pen-and-paper essays every single week for those little fuckers.

> "bro ChatGPT is so efficient though" I mean, maybe, but consider that we've spent the last nine months fixing our data and redoing analysis because my boss decided to chase meaningless trends he got from ChatGPT

So much of tech is wrecking public goods then selling the back to you as premium services that don't work/exist...

the other thing that happens when somebody plunges in popularity because of causing national recession is that *their whole platform* can become tainted. pin economic disaster on Trump now and people will move on immigration too.

Nobody actually believes the protesters are being paid. Nobody. It's pure copium.

Listen, I’m not saying this woman doesn’t exist, but running this big photo feature about a former Dem who’s become apathetic about politics on the day when hundreds of thousands of people are rallying nationwide is a choice

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

my favorite kind of lib are the guys who are like “DONT LET HIM DISTRACT YOU! he crashed the economy on purpose to draw attention away from covfefe”

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity. I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

For too long, America has had an economy

The gap between the self-image that MAGA has of themselves as tough macho he-men and their constant pants-pissing fear of every goddamn thing in the world is bigger than the Grand Canyon

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Trump Calmly Reminds Nation That Desire The Root Of All Suffering theonion.com/trump-c...

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at the current moment and think "Abolish ICE" was anything but completely correct. ICE cannot and should not exist. Period.

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

Yes, Cory Booker is putting on a *performative show of opposition* to Trump and I think that’s exactly what we need more of right now.

There's going to be a tendency to cover disappearances like this as "what a huge mistake/so incompetent," but this is not a mistake: The entire point is to indiscriminately catch up law abiding people in these dragnets to sow fear and compliance. www.npr.org/2025/03/27/n...

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

What the fuck
