Sadly no most people don't know what oligarchy means. These are the same people that throw out socialism, communism, etc., when shown something they don't like.

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

someone ask vance if he thinks dred scott was correctly decided

Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

Lakers/Kings. One arena, 24 hours.

i hate this term but i can't think of a better one: every republican in congress is cucked

What accounts for phrasing like this? If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

That is because they are mendacious

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

This is straight up North Korea level ish! Just batshit insane stuff and half the country just doesn't care.

This is the first movie I think with Gene Hackman. He and his "wife" were perfectly cast in this.

No worries, we'll have court jesters and royal perfomers for their dear leaders any day now. Totally normal stuff here.

"I do not have deep pockets, so my impact is minimal to the bottom line, but the real impact is my deep shame to be a UofA alumna." Emailed the board of regents. I know it will do absolutely nothing but hey I feel a little better. #alaska #alaskanative

I think I figured out why his spaceships keep blowing up.

@unfortunatehky.bsky.social it’s my team but I have to assume this is going to be a post down 6-0 to the blues 😩😩😩

Here's the board of regents who voted to remove 'Alaska Native' and other references to diversity for UofA. Something similar about all of them.........hmm what is what is it. www.alaska.edu/bor/members/

Congrats to the WHCA, now officially less courageous than the French

My very conservative colleague suggested Bari's publication to me yesterday.....Smile and nod. Smile and nod. #spareme

Not the best video but just layers of Alaska here. Plane taking off a frozen lake as my parents pull up to a pond hockey event while the Iron Dog finish is happening close by. #alaska

How it started. How it’s going

We’re just in the dumbest times possible. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

This dude essentially sustained a major car crash injury to his hips in November. To see him on the ice, in a no contact jersey is nothing short of amazing. Hockey players man.

This is, btw, right out of the Nazi playbook to dehumanize people and give them a permission structure to hate.

man this is legit no different than a 4chan /pol/ post. like truly no difference, down to the ASMR gag. from the white house account.

Ahhh who needs a free press anyways??

🤢🤢🤢Spare us PLEASE.

"This woke has cost us a fortune and cost us our reputation." What the hell does that even mean? His mind is just a soiled diaper filled with grievances and gutter gossip.

i just think if you're going to found a website called "the federalist" you should have to have at least a tiny understanding of what the federalist papers (like, say, 78) have to say about things

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

that’s right.

Nothing like the coldness of an ER doctor to put things in the most insensitive way possible. My dad. He’s the former doctor who really has no filter. Helps build a thick skin but damn just trying to have a nice Sunday morning chat 😩

i am 100% certain that they are weekend at bernie-ing trump and just handing him papers to sign, the content of which is determined by whoever happens to want something to happen

Such a sad outcome.

Just thinking of the accident and the incoming federal funding cuts to agencies/entities like NOAA, FAA & the National Weather Service. The NWS in Fairbanks forecasts weather in the largest area in the US (including the area of the accident) Cuts to these agencies will eventually costs lives.

Yes, I’ve flown on this type of aircraft on this airline many times. Aviation accidents in Alaska are common. Commercial accidents less so but it happens about once a year. Reality of life in a place with few roads.

Hoping for a good outcome here.

Again, who benefits the most when programs like this are cut?

I really hate to be that person but you always have to ask who benefits the most when stuff like this happens? And he's not sitting in DC.

Have not seen this kind of circular accounting nonsense since the early days of AOL roundtripping. Would like to see the actual ad numbers, but insiders tell me it’s what you imagine given the quality of the product. Investors are buying the possible benefits Musk’s proximity to Trump, aka cronyism.

Wtf is this nonsense of a headline.
