imagine supporting a party that thinks DAVID FUCKING HOGG is too spicy smh

This is...quite a revealing bit of propaganda any way you slice it

Every hundred likes, I make his head bigger.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

The reason people constantly suggest that Dems "adopt moderate social positions" (which... end up not being "moderate" at all) is because they think that Dems won't lose votes by moving to the right. They are wrong in thinking this.

Very on brand

New blog from me at @motherjones.com: 25 people were arrested today during a Congressional hearing while protesting Medicaid cuts. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Gavin Newsom Sits Down For Podcast With Serial Killer Who Targets Homeless

I just don't think it's sustainable for everything to be the exact opposite of how it should be just to make the absolute worst people alive happy because children are suffering indianapublicmedia.org/news/new-ind...

Of all the awful stuff in this reprehensible bill, the fact that your children stop being considered dependents at SEVEN may be the most horrifying detail.

this is a good thread you should read

whats so galling about the sweaty poll-chasing is that the next election they'd have to call is in late 2029. Literally do anything right now, no one is gonna remember wtf was happening in 2025. People keep acting like Reform is gonna take over next week unless Starmer pleases the mystical center

Read the whole thing. You won’t be surprised, but you should be outraged.

The family of a 16 year old who was sexually assaulted by an Atlanta cop after she got in a car crash is suing the entire department, arguing that APD leadership has created a culture of impunity. This is far from the first time. COP CITY CANNOT FIX THIS www.ajc.com/news/crime/t...

>trans people are banned from bathrooms -okay you're banned from our thing then >what the fuck. why?

Google’s acquisition of Israeli software company, Wiz, for $32 billion shows just how much Silicon Valley is invested in Israeli tech. The problem is, almost all of Israeli tech is first developed by a genocidal army.

the number one goal for everyone left-of-center for the next 6 weeks should be making sure Andrew Cuomo doesn’t become mayor of the largest city in the country. even if you don’t live in NYC, you probably have friends or family who do. please tell them how awful Cuomo.

In terms of the number of Americans affected, and the direct power of the office, New York City Mayor is one of the 10 most powerful elected offices in the country. Cuomo getting it would be a huge setback not only to the city but the entire country.

“We don’t know when, if ever, they will be able to reunite with their family.” Thousands of kids are stuck in immigration facilities—with no end in sight.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job

Has anyone ever gifted you a plane?

JPMORGAN: “.. The trade war shock is still material. .. we now estimate an effective ex-ante tariff rate of 14.4%. This is akin to a $475bn tax hike on US households and businesses, worth 1.6% of GDP (still sitting close to the largest tax hike in the post WWII period).”

i would imagine hasan knows, rationally, not to talk in situations like this. he did anyway because cops of all stripes are very good at making you feel like in *just this one particular situation* it makes more sense to talk a bit. don't ever give in to that impulse.

The thing about Andrew Cuomo is, even if he weren’t corrupt as fuck, and even if he weren’t a creep, and even if he didn’t killed one of every four grandmothers in New York during Covid… he hates New York City and did everything he could to destroy it as Governor.

(NYT) - As few as three air traffic controllers were scheduled to work on Monday evening at the facility guiding planes to and from Newark Liberty International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said, far fewer than the target of 14 controllers .. #EWR www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...

“Unfortunately, right now, it looks like the polluters won.” Experts say that the mass of scientists being forced out of the EPA will slow down any future regulation of chemicals.

"Only 82 per cent of people now believe Ireland should remain in the EU - a two percentage point drop from last year's figure." So GB News paints this as "Irexit looms". 🤣 A two percent drop! From 84% to 82%! News for the desperate & data-illiterate.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.
