The young people might not remember that Iowa used to be a purple state - proudly the third state in the union to legalize gay marriage.

People still: Look, we can't read history through a contemporary lens. There wasn't a consensus that slavery was wrong. Every 18th c. pamphlet: How can they do this? Are we SLAVES? In SLAVERY? The worst things you can be? Are they gonna put us IN CHAINS? Like in SLAVERY? Which is EVIL? Like SLAV-

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

the middle distance is 2025's trendiest place to stare

One would normally want to wait longer to evaluate the effects of major policy changes, but the results of the first three days of #CongestionPricing in New York City are so striking that it is already possible to make some (at least preliminary) conclusions.

What the fuck?

A mandatory one-year moratorium preventing homeowners insurance cancellations and non-renewals in affected areas of Southern California has been issued by Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara.

Anita Bryant isn't going to see your hurtful posts and jokes about her death but your friends who enjoy them will so that's what they call a win-win situation

400,000 more people rode the NYC subways in a single day and it was barely noticeable. the equivalent population of Tampa piled into transit and it was a blip. almost like transit is a more efficient mode of conveyance than automobiles

Climate inaction is way more expensive than climate action, and it’s not even close.

Why is nobody talking about how Shamsud-Din Jabbar came from a place with sick and cruel extremist beliefs inimical to American values, a place that poses a constant threat to our freedoms

Jimmy Carter in 2015 on the role of money in American politics: "It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery." Spot on.

no xmas spoilers for people in other timezones please

sorry, not sorry, not going to care about christmas because i grew up with a loving, psychologically supportive father in constant state of peace, happiness, and excitement about the future. hearing the key in the door was my own personal “christmas” for almost 20 years.

Ultimately Democrats vulnerability on trans rights has nothing to do with trans rights. What people hear is that Democrats care more about trans rights than their own concerns, a message that would have zero traction if they felt Democrats genuinely did care about their own concerns

Their teenage kids will be happy though.

They mocked our space lasers, but look who needs them now.

Yeah man this is like my eighth rodeo. I'm just really stupid

Josh Shapiro called the McDonald’s employee who reported Luigi Mangione a “hero.” She will NOT get the $10,000 reward money because she called 911 instead of the tip line. By the way, Josh Shapiro got $15,000 in donations from United Healthcare last year. Numbers are fun.

I always thought the D-Day invasion never seemed all that hard. I assumed me and friends could have handled it, no problem. But then I found out it was at 6:30 in the morning, and now I respect the troops.

happy "unearthing the bizarre politics of the shooter" day to all who celebrate the great American tradition

The Hunt | She wanted an opulent Moscow palace that could remind her of home back in Damascus. He wanted a pied-à-terre on a low floor with no windows and a built-in Geiger counter. Which did they choose?

Your regular Sunday go to meeting reminder that Jesus hated capitalists Below: Actual historical photo of Jesus beating the shit out of some capitalists

roving gangs of swifties downtown are becoming increasingly erratic and violent, their faces different somehow, empty. a huge swarm of She's Secretly Gay swifties has begun tearing smaller factions to shreds, clothes heavy and wet with blood. they discuss hidden clues, uninterrupted by the violence

It’s not grim. Grim is the number of people United has killed. With no NYT reporting whatsoever.

taylor swift has detonated a dirty bomb in downtown vancouver

EXCELLENT. We need every single one

Lots going on today.

Should Democrats move to the right? Absolutely not. That's morally wrong and bad politics. The real lesson of 2024 is that Democrats must become an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of working people.
