as a child I thought it was wildly unrealistic that Sims would immediately give up on all their goals and dreams if a single dirty plate was left on the ground but now that I’m an adult I understand that that was the most realistic part of the game

I am one of the millions of straight white American men who are being forced to walk on egg shells at work. In my case it’s because I work on the peeling line at the hard boiled egg factory, which was the only place I could find a job as a serial sexual harasser

Unrelated to the article but whenever I pass under a "NO ICE" banner on the freeway I am compelled to bellow "NOOIIICE" regardless of who may be in the vehicle with me.

Say what u will about the GW Bush admin's warmongering but those bros worked their tails off manufacturing consent for taking out Iraq. This war with Iran is occurring with a shrug and a "ehhhh welllllll.... what are you gonna do about it?"

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

Question. Did democracy cease to function during the Whiskey Rebellion?The Great Railroad Strike of 1877? The May Day Riots? Let me put this another way, can you identify a single point in U.S. history where Americans exclusively expressed themselves in an orderly fashion along acceptable lines?
