its beyond fucked up that a bunch of self-described leftists are making a folk hero out of someone who is more or less politically indistinguishable from a DOGE kid

Literally just loudly and constantly hate Donald Trump and pretend to have a tolerance for middle aged women. You can be as left wing as you want. Just do those two things.

Courage and bravery, or capitulation and appeasement. Those are the only choices with a mob boss in the White House. Maine is lucky to have a fighter in their Governor and AG.

““We did not elect him,” a man shouted. As the town hall reached its scheduled end, more constituents shouted questions about Musk’s access to taxpayer data and yelled “don’t lie to us””

tbh it's a great prismatic look at the society. This is also why Elizabeth Holmes and SBF are the only big budget scamsters to head to and stay in jail. All 3 committed the only sin you cannot commit in the USA without swift & severe punishment- made a billionaire look bad and feel stupid in public

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I feel like a lot of very normie very moderate liberals prefer AOC to most other congressional Dems and there’s something there, something to build on.

One thing I have lost all patience for is the "lol voting's so pointless" ethos common among online nihilists

“We tried voting and it didn’t work” is a super common thing to hear on this website for being complete fucking nonsense. The thing is that voting did work and the people who did it more won, it’s that it was the villains.

as a general rule people who entered public office prior to 2017 are not really up to the task of Project 2029. there are exceptions but only after Trump won did burning hatred of the GOP become something of a norm among Democratic politicians

what the moment calls for is fighters instead of gormless boobs who should have retired 30 years ago. policy differences can be hashed out later, everyone can agree that Musk and Trump must be stopped and democracy restored

The Republican Party has been the motivating force behind most visceral patriotism in my life, because their efforts to destroy the cosmopolitan liberal democracy in which I was born have made me realize that I am in fact quite attached to it, and willing to countenance a lot in it’s defense.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Deciding to build more housing during a housing crisis or waste a bunch of money tying that housing up in courts isn't a “Sophie’s choice”. Comparing your fears about a potential increase in traffic in your California beach town to the Holocaust is extremely offensive.

This gets to a big part of the problem today. An overall lack of courage everywhere. The right fuels hatred of the other by creating a victim mentality where everyone else is at fault for everything. Real courage comes in confronting your own inadequacies and the harm you've created.

the hollywood standard for men going from like “modestly fit [well known actor in his late thirties]” to “a body fat percentage that puts you on the verge of death” is probably bad and underpins a lot of rw subcultures i think

If you leave the history stuff out of it though, Silver is tiptoeing toward the accurate point that he personally is very good at getting high scores on artificial abstract reasoning tests while being a colossal ignoramus and dumbass about actual life
