I read a lot of conservative media and have yet to see a profile of an able-bodied American who's sponging off taxpayers to get free medical care. But we are told that are a lot of them are out there! So they shouldn't be hard to find! Have any of you seen a credible piece along these lines?

Also worth noting that his wife and kids are Jewish. Please stop using us to excuse your racism.

If only we'd have done this earlier, so Rip Torn could have been the dispatch guy at the bounty board.

If you see any report of "Iranian threats" to the IAEA nuclear watchdog today - read the article. Somewhere in there they'll have to admit it's a hardline Iranian newspaper, or they won't mention the source at all, but they'll use "Iran" everywhere else just to make sure *you* think Iran did it.

People are gonna have to write grants and scientific papers like YouTube videos now. "The genetic material unalived itself."

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of turned on right now

"like it or not" i don't like it, so i simply will not play their games or give them any money i suppose!

The nice thing about sports is when you claim you’re being oppressed for your alpha male political beliefs you at some point have to throw a baseball and either prove that to be true or have it turn out you’re just an annoying dickhead

I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again: you're white only until they decide you're not.

Senator Murkowski cut a backroom deal to exempt Alaska from Medicaid cuts, but the Senate parliamentarian shut it down. Protecting your own state while harming millions elsewhere is selfishness and disgusting.

I think I became aware of Van Hollen when he actually went to CECOT to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of Kilmar Abrego Garcia Now I see him calling out the Islamophobia directed at Zohran Mamdani

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Useful technology isn't something people are forced to use. This was one of the really interesting things I heard maybe a year ago from so many pundits. Things like "I'm trying to think of ways to use this so I become good at it." That's not how productivity tools are supposed to work.

If the bargain the Democratic Party leadership wants to make to the left is, the left should compete in primaries and then support the Democrat in the general, even if it isn't their favored candidate, it has to go both ways: When leftist candidates win primaries, the party needs to get behind them.

Every US Democratic politician right now.

at some point, and i say this without hyperbole or hysteria, we are about to become one of the few major nations that i am aware of to give virtually nothing to its citizenry except the boot. virtually every other country at least pretends it some sort of obligation to its people

ai art is the modern aesthetic of fascism

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

CALL ERIC SWALWELL AND TELL HIM TO APOLOGIZE TO ZOHRAN MAMDANI AND HIS CONSTITUENTS FOR LYING

quick look inside my brain

Welp. So much for a chill Sunday morning sitting on the deck.

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

republicans operate according to a moral economy where wealthy oligarchs and polluters deserve the collected prosperity of the nation because of their wealth. the job of the rest of us is to toil for their benefit.

last night the republicans passed a budget to turn america into a nation of roving masked thugs and concentration camps and this is what democrats are doing still on sunday morning news programs instead of telling their interviewers to shut the fuck up and stop changing the subject

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

Pup cup compilation to nourish your soul

If you’re an elected Democrat talking shit about Zohran you deserve to lose every ounce of power you have which sadly doesn’t matter because the type of Democrat you are brought us to this fascism in the first place.

this guy is so good at social media he tweeted it before Twitter existed

The world is a hell, everything is terrible, but There are more fireflies out this summer than I've seen in years So sometimes I just sit out here in the dark and watch the lights blink and flicker and I let a couple quiet tears roll out

unsurprisingly, im seeing an uptick in antisemitic rhetoric on the left, a totally predictable reaction to the hideous cowardice of this tactic

My friends: You’re so talented. Me: thanks, want to see my worm? Friends: erm.. Me: look at him.
