Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

no more kings actually also includes no more billionaires fwiw

We have Nazi salutes now because nobody said anything about Confederate flags.

One of the most underrated cultural divides in America is between people who know and care what motion smoothing is and people who still don't. The anti-smoothers went for Kamala by 20 points, minimum.

I know the real answer is "because it's a coup" but how did T&E think would happen when they told their followers they would bring inflation down and then just fired everyone so no one can afford anything actually?

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

never stops being wild to me that free britney was right.

WHY THE FUCK IS NO ONE DOING ANYTHING

I appreciate Chappell for giving a bitch something to scream-sing along to.

Remembered that I wrote about how awful Woodrow Wilson's historic segregationist purge of Black workers from federal government jobs was last year.... www.thedailybeast.com/woodrow-wils...

it's wild how "might get raped in prison" is culturally understood to be on the same baseline of humor as an unexpected fart.

“Democrats are the minority. There’s not much they can do” Sure sure orrrrrrr You can recall the amount of hell raising shit and obstruction the GOP did when THEY WERE THE MINORITY PARTY.

I saw jordan fisher sneak in the stage door at Hadestown as I was on the way out today so that's my little bit of happy for the weekend.

I’ve got a fever, and the only cure is MORE CHISME

Depending on people to be brave is not a good strategy.

It’s racism. It’s the racism so many places used to do de facto what Trump is doing by writ And it’s really scary that while this is happening very few discussions also include the observations and reflections of Black people This is how people talk about us ALL THE TIME

Yeah, this is the one

I hate when a narrative is reinforced by factual events

Also if y’all come across liberals crying about folks pressing Democrats to act, tell them to stfu. Cuz some folks in these red cities are giving Republicans hell too. Just because 🫵🏾 YOU 🫵🏾 are too scared to tell you reps to do their job doesn’t mean everyone is like you www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

My favorite thing about the Adames family is that the Addams were designed to be a functional family So their real kink is the communication

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

The first reaction to this news should be concern about the future of voting by mail www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I know there is fierce competition, but I think I found the worst person in Texas.

please call this what it is, which is government-sanctioned abuse, rape and murder

Kieran Culkin wins Best Supporting Performance for A Real Pain at the #SpiritAwards

One of the most clarifying moments for me regarding how utterly, hopelessly divorced this country was from its own true nature and history came in 2008 when I listened in disbelief to educated adults argue aloud that the election of one (1) Black president meant we were in a post-racial America.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

this is the crux of it!!!

this DELIGHTS me! a wonderful movie.

the subtext here is “liberal jews are bad for us and bad for you, so when we come for them, don’t get mad at us”

“I feel so stupid, guilty, regretful—embarrassed is a huge one. I am absolutely embarrassed that I voted for Trump,” she said.

we love to see it

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Keep up the visible association of #TSLA with Nazi Musk. No one of good conscience should go near a Tesla product. #TeslaTakedown

What’s also upsetting a lot of these ✋🏻 people is the fact that they are also ignoring historical & global context. Do you know HOW many countries & governments Uncle Sam is responsible for stealing? Collapsing? Preventing? Steam-rolling? Did you really think none of that would boomerang “home”?

this this this is sound advice!
