And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Not enough people realize that Merrick Garland let an entire network of White Power groups that literally built Timothy McVeigh's bomb off the hook because he had the one guy that was easy to convict because he admitted to the bombing. They are still out there plotting. Garland made sure of that.

It's really wild the things that people will just openly say about the role of money in politics now. "Oh, yeah, we just decided to preemptively buy this guy off on a whim." Journalists used to muckrake for stories like that for months on end and now the money guys just... tweet it out

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Carville endorsed Cuomo for Mayor. If you’re a Democrat, you should be mad at these guys. How is the party you’ve voted in to make things better when they are propping up the worst people? The people who are blocking the progress we all want?

One of the most interesting parallels in American life right now is WWE bending over backwards for the Saudis and Trump administration and watching their fans get gradually more uneasy with it, while AEW just grinds away and slowly grows as their talent wears Abolish ICE shirts on cable TV.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

The easiest way to explain ranked choice voting is that it's a sandwich order, not a tier list. If I said your choices are turkey, ham, or dogshit, you wouldn't be like "ok my third choice is dogshit", you'd simply omit the shit sandwich.

HUGE NEWS!!!! A new poll has me within single digits of leading in my race, ahead of FIVE other career politicians. This is incredible! I was a "long shot" in March. Now we’re proving that grassroots campaigns can be viable and win — but I can’t do it without your help.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

if there are reprisal terrorist attacks in the U.S. they are less likely to backed by Iran than they are to be independent actions by individuals unconnected to any state. think the San Bernardino ISIS shooting this is just how political violence works today, it's nothing specific to this conflict
