To think all of this could’ve been prevented if it were only legal to seal billionaires into barrels full of nice warm butterscotch taffy and then set the barrels adrift at sea.

I get why people think everything is a distraction. But this appears to be a genuine falling out between the two most powerful people in the country. Fascists are just messy and their power struggles always get weird. There are a lot of awful things still happening, but this isn't a distraction.

The worst thing the Democrats could do right now is align with Elon Musk. He's a piece of shit and always has been. The fact that he's having a spat with Trump does not mitigate this is in the slightest. Enjoy the schadenfreude privately, but do not, in any way, offer Musk a hand.

once again I must tap my own sign

This part.

It's also not true that RFK Jr has identified a real problem but proposes the wrong solutions. The "problem" he's identified is that Americans are unhealthier than we've ever been (false) and that prescription drugs are making kids sad, autistic and trans (deranged).

He’s probably rubbing his hands together because he thinks he’s so clever to do this in the first week of Pride month. 🙄

"Trump voters didn't vote for this-" Yes, they did. They may not have understood that's what they were doing, but we warned them explicitly that it would happen. So moving forward, they need to acknowledge we were correct and make an effort NOT TO DO IT AGAIN.

firmly believe they can’t round up the “millions of criminals” they promised because they simply don’t exist — so we get this hamhanded shit as they flail around trying to meet ridiculous quotas

These are the people who look (and act) like foreign invaders.

Watching The Little Mermaid as a kid: I’m Ariel! I’m 16 and I’m going to marry a handsome prince! Watching The Little Mermaid as an adult: I’m Ursula. Some under-qualified white man usurped my throne, took my trident, and now I practice witchcraft.

Colleagues, the autism registry doesn’t exist without our participation Repeat after me: fuck you, make me If you care about Autistic people “Fuck you, make me.”

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

DO NOT DIRECT DEPOSIT YOUR PAYCHECK INTO ROBIN HOOD.

They're so frustrated that they can't seem to fully replace women with robots yet

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is unironically one of the best popular narratives about the way privatization of public services destroys local community

We’re all looking for the guy who did this.

Property rights would kill the industry. Does that tell you what the industry is, finally??

This. This is morally and ethically correct. a fascist, illegitimate regime has no right to restrict your medical care much less to do so out of cruelty & murderous intent. You have every right to survive and thrive and these are radical acts of hope & fascist refusal.

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

Please for the love of god flood this comment form and tell them you want COVID boosters.

Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

& not for nothing, but ppl will share a real shit-smear of a “comic” that they’re mad about b/c of its racist implications much more quickly than they will share in a way that uplifts actual marginalized creators… Like, say, one of the first & very few Arab Americans in the mainstream comics mrkt 😬

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

I have said for years that polite, ostensibly supportive liberals quietly think in private that transition is a lifestyle choice, not medicine - a nice to have, ultimately boutique luxury that must be shelved during hard times. and they're going to shrug sadly and tell us that these are hard times.

I used to buy fresh raspberries and then put off eating them because "just eating them wasn't special enough" (what???) but then they would go moldy and I couldn't enjoy them at all!! So now I eat the raspberries! Light the fancy expensive candle! Stick the stickers you're hoarding! USE THE STUFF

My favorite person in the world is immunocompromised and this shit is galling and terrifying.

Democracy requires some measure of buy-in into the idea that politics matters, public service is honorable (and to be honored by public servants), elected officials represent the people - fundamentally: that we are all part of the the game and the game deserves respect. It doesn't work like this.

Watching the reactions to the plantation fire and comparing them to the reactions to fires set to terrorize Black people at churches, schools, orphanages...there's a book in here

Chin-scratching your way into laundering the profit-hoarding stance of 1980s labels and studios who tried to curb the secondhand market sure is of a piece with the fucking NYT

This part.

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

It’s genuinely embarrassing that people keep falling for these “AI explains the hidden secrets of its programming” posts. Grok is not sentient, it cannot explain what it’s doing and why.
