I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell should be put in stocks.

If you’re wondering why young people are trending right it’s because youth orgs on the left are struggling to keep the lights on meanwhile TurningPoint and Charlie Kirk have enough money to waste on events in schools that vote 80% Democratic.

The fact that we are also making lists of Jewish professors proves the harmlessness of our registry of autistic children. by Linda McMahon and RFK Jr.

An innocent man who committed no crime but is the same race as the person who murdered your daughter should have to spend the rest of his life in a concentration camp is the argument?

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

I forget how evil Erik Prince is. And then I remember.

The White House or The White Lotus? www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the #BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news.

The entire budget of the National Endowment for the Humanities (which has been devastated by Trump & Musk) is 3% of this.

Elon literally has his mommy go on tv to defend him against attacks. That’s the kind of weak shit we are dealing with. Elon Musk is a weak ass punk.

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

In 1969 the marginal tax rate on income over $100,000 was 70%.

We spent $18 billion, 13 years, and 158 lives fighting as your ally in Afghanistan after you were attacked.

I hate "disruption" as a rule. It rarely leads to better, just different and more expensive and dirtier and less reliable.

Ides of March time!

Pale Trump Boys Ask When They Can Stop Giving Uncle Elon Blood

@schumer.senate.gov you need to take a stand and stop enabling this obscenity. Vote NO. If not now then when? Do not give away your power when everything is at stake!

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

Tomorrow in the Washington Post: Why Drake Should Apologize To Kendrick Lamar For Taking Up So Much Of His Time

Let's not that Musk went on Joe Rogan and repeated his claim that he believes the entirety of Social Security is itself a fraud and should be abolished. He's also lying about pervasive fraud within the system which clearly means he plans to stop millions of people checks.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.
