i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

One coworker was telling us how she's uses ChatGPT for her undergrad courses and the different softwares she runs the prompt through to make sure it won't get tagged for free plagiarism. My other coworker: "Wouldn't it be easier just to come up with an original thought"

i don’t think we should be able to see inside the president’s pudding brain, this stuff should stay inside the meeting room

If I hear “abundance” one more fucking time while I see more and more people forced to beg, forced to live outdoors, more and more state-sponsored violence etc. It’s actually offensive.

More than 3 times as many Americans believe the Chupacabra either definitely or probably exists than wants war with Iran

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Just because YOU hold someone in high esteem doesn't mean i have to. All your idols can (and should) die.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

America loves racism real bad.

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.

The chapter of RFK’s most recent book - that he wrote to defend his belief that COVID was actually a weapon designed to target white people and spare certain groups like Jewish people - in which he talks about how he does not believe germs actually cause disease is called “The White Man’s Burden.”

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's better to ask than assume.

Hey folks. I know there's a lot going on right now, but I'd really appreciate it if you read this piece I wrote on the perils of raising an autistic child during the era of RFK Jr. and his campaign of insane conspiracies and cruel scare tactics geared toward people on the spectrum.

the Democratic Party is just completely broken right now

The fear of the subway — or the performance of fear, because I think many of the people who claim to be afraid of it aren't actually — is one of the more bizarre elements of our current political discourse

NBA TV and ESPN are both airing shows entirely dedicated to advertising bets for tonight’s Finals game right now. We are down so bad, as a society.

Hey remember 5 whole days ago when a Trump-loving "Christian" man in MN dressed up as a militarized cop & attempted to assassinate at least 4 elected Democrats (killing one/her husband, critically wounding another)? Seems like we — as a nation — should still be grappling w that event, doesn't it?

Hey, start drinking water NOW. Not when you feel thirsty. I seen you keep scrolling too. Yes, YOU 🫵🏽

Any chance the Senate Parliamentarian can stop all this??

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year. Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year. Capitalism kills.

CIRCUS PEANUTS what the oligarchs pay we gave em all the money cuz they promised to trickle it back down onto us but they lied and now we make less than peanuts we make fucking circus peanuts

On Monday I reported on anti-ICE protests taking over Roblox. One of the kids I interviewed texted me this morning to share that the Roblox protesters are now facing police violence. www.usermag.co/p/kids-are-p...

I'm sick of racists in this country. You ain't going nowhere tho but neither am I. I hope we get a chance to meet face to face tho.

Yall poisoning the air in your communities to recreate reality show clips with babies HELP ME HOLY GHOST

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

four of Brad Lander's political opponents praising him and speaking out in his defense shows that not only does this crew understand the stakes but also the incentive structure created for candidates by ranked choice voting is dope

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

IDEA: Rich people don’t get to propose policies since they have no fucking idea what is going on

How is this man not from Indiana

Maybe if you publicly endorsed Trump because you claimed he wouldn’t get us drawn into a war you should, idk, shut the fuck up for a second? Maybe take break from press appearances and ask yourself if you’re a gullible jackass worthy of sharing the mush that is your brain?
