That bill they're trying to pass will throw billions of dollars at these goons so they can abuse and terrorize even more people

Your kids are stuck inside all day because Stephen Miller.

feels like smuggling batteries across the border may be a lucrative task in 2033 once the fourth trump administration closes the country permanently

@zachlowenba.bsky.social post more here! We are an adulating audience here! Be more like mina!

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers. That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value. It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Ultimately, the Roberts court will uphold federal rules on race quotas for white students at private universities on the basis of 1A. I think we get this ruling by 2027.

I found the "bloated salaries of professors" problem www.higheredjobs.com/faculty/deta...

the assumption seems to be that if the local news is covering something it's because that something is "liberal" and is, therefore, inauthentic. This includes people worried about their air conditioning going out.

Facebook algorithm is serving up clips from the local news here, and it’s simply stunning how many people, probably 90 percent, either do the “laughing” emoji reaction or post blatantly false right wing comments. these people think anyone going through a tough time should be laughed at.

No thank you

the problem with these people is they have no idea how much professors make. one of my students asked how much I make and I said well look it up, the salaries are public and he did and was taken aback at how low it was.

Open defiance of the courts continues Federal judges need to start holding officials in contempt or it will only get worse

sighs deeply

it's not just that Hispanic voters shifted Republican since 2020, it's also the case that some of them no longer even identify as Hispanic! new @goodauth.bsky.social post from me and Caroline Soler goodauthority.org/news/democra...

This makes sense when you remember both Clyburn and Cuomo partnered with Republicans in their state after the last census to consolidate their own power to the loss of multiple safe democratic congressional districts

the 2016 NC bathroom bill cost the state 400 million dollars & was called the most anti-LGBT law in the US. president obama called for its repeal. by 2021, state-level trans bigotry was so normalized that trans people started to lose everything from bathroom to healthcare access in 24 states.

My god haliburton is so good

is tj McConnell the best player in the nba

ban Myles turner from shooting

Maybe 100 percent chance

I'm having to explain to foreigners that in the folkways of our culture "two weeks" means we're not doing this. #infrastructureweek #Geertz #nothappening

folks! it’s worth it to use all the Haitian spices. Just sayin. #BestChickenIveEverCooked

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

trump take doctor

People down here have no idea how to process the fact that new Wawa employees were being offered 19.50 per hour in the Biden years.

This is one of the main reasons they wanted Trump to win in 2024. The bosses were desperate to get workers back into a situation where they are desperate and easy to exploit, and away from the tight Biden labor market, where low wage workers were getting double digit % raises. Promises kept!

us invasion killed about 1.5 million people (not all directly). Guess we are going for 3 million this time.

Iran has double the population of iraq. Just sayin

what they are saying here is all ai responses sounds like a 25 year old white man and they need to somehow fix this

he was auto-blocked for me via someone who maintains the “trump enablers” blocklist

the stupidity of this discourse is the direct and perhaps only reason I became a political scientist. I had to do something about this shit.

NEW: According to an administration official and another close associate of the commander-in-chief, Trump’s heavy consumption of Fox News content is increasing his appetite for direct military confrontation with Iran.

We literally went from peace to preparing an attack on Iran in five days because the president saw some stuff on Fox News

how about: it would be illegal even if congress gave trump the power??? there is simply no international law case for the US to attack Iran, and congress cannot wave some magic wand of a resolution to make it so.

this is not a normal court

Hey Chuck, this decision rips health care away from Americans

Markwayne Mullin is pretty much saying, explicitly, that the invasion of CA is revenge for integration.

Hegseth should be removed for this comment alone. The deployment of US troops against our own citizens should be an unquestionable boundary we never cross.
