I have not seen one person cheering on DOGE inquire where all the money that’s saved slashing federal programs and jobs is going to be used for. It’s all performative, but that’s what they’re in for. The show.

We only run the heat on one floor and keep it set at 65 just the gas has $400 a month and electric even on the winter is close to $300. New Yorkers, what has your Con Ed bill been running? $8400 a year for utilities is INSANE especially when you’re COLD 😭

This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesn’t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to “Naima” by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

When the goal is to beat us down, joy becomes resistance. So tonight, “have a twirl, have a giggle.” Remember what it is we are fighting for.

You know why these guys are so willing to flagrantly and openly break the law? Because they’ve been doing it for years, testing the waters, seeing what they could get away with—and they got away with all of it. This is the consequence of no consequences and an injustice system.

Can’t believe any one is taking this D.E.I. talk seriously as Trump is giving away the top positions in our government to inept and inexperienced white men

If this crash happened a week after Joe Biden became president, republicans would already have committees in place to investigate and impeach him and commercials airing on how it was his fault.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW. Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze. Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

No, Academic Writing is Not Getting Harder to Read: “What we see in this short article is a case of applying a measure to the wrong inputs. This results in a double standard, where humanities are assumed to be an “easy” discipline in which no complexity exists–so complex language is unnecessary.” 🗃️📚

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.
