also even a lot of high-info people are under the impression that the mechanism is primarily that we’re giving bags of money to Foreign rather than buying a bunch of American Stuff and shipping it to Foreign

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Start here...These people somehow find a way to blame Dems for everything. The Dems impeached Trump...TWICE. The GOP refused to convict. Then even after 34 convictions, the GOP made him the nominee and the majority of white people voted for him, but this the Dems fault.

One the most pernicious myths people believe is that the mere presence of minorities on the far right means their beliefs aren't closely held. These people aren't trying to build an inclusive society. They want hostages, servants, and shields.

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

Honestly call this cringe if you will but I honestly think the rest of us who appreciate what we owe Ukraine to take the time to actually thank them so our friends don't have to feel this way. So: thank you, Ukraine, for my country's independence. Lithuania still lives because of you.

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

My illegal Pinkerton is driving me to my illegal hotel while the hallucination machine in my phone summarizes the emails my coworkers wrote using their hallucination machines. My burrito travels separately in its own limo. This is innovation and normal.

“If he’s not doing the hitler salute why don’t you do the same thing and see how it goes for you” is the most effective counterargument to these people

The whole idea of an elected president is that you can avoid electing a guy whose brain is mush, vulnerable to the whims of shady advisors, and yet we did exactly that

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

the Dems winning isn't going to let you rebuild the partnership. you can only rebuild the partnership when it's possible for the Dems to lose without it being destroyed.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

This is egotistical bullshit. Doing the right thing isn't always going to make you feel like the smartest kid in the class. Being good is more important than being a genius.

Wild to think how strong a position the US would be in geopolitically if it weren’t just shooting itself in both feet. Russia’s military and economy devastated. China stagnating, in massive debt, and falling off a demographic cliff. Europe…adrift at best. An own goal of unbelievable proportions.

The dark truth everyone's circling around is that it doesn't seem like the People care very much about democracy or the Constitution or the rule of law and it's extremely hard to see how anything good happens as long as that's true

Elon Musk personally reinstated and remonetized this guy's account after he posted watermarked screenshots from a piece of CSAM that is so horrific that the people who investigated it thought it was an impossible urban legend for years
