In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Someone solved the internet.

The neat thing about “move fast and break things” is it’s a great motto for people who have no discernible skills and no idea what they’re doing, because it has a way of rephrasing their total ineptitude as genius on the move.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Works as advertised

These barely-sentient people who believe deranged stuff like “we should make Canada the 51st state so they can vote for us” must be purged from the Democrat party.

I wish more people knew they can just say no and let the unreasonable asker be mad as a hornet.

this fucking faux-serious, take him literally but not seriously, what’s the harm in discussing it, just asking questions shit over the last three decades isn’t the only reason musk is about to destroy social security and trump wants to seize gaza, but it is very definitely a large part of the story

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

I keep seeing takes like this marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevo... 1. I don't like the status quo on policy X 2. Trump is thoughtlessly blowing things up, including on policy X 3. It might turn out better after being blown up so 🤷 We're on the road to authoritarianism, not your preferred policy.

Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them - NBC News

I know it's basically a semantic argument, but "cheaper = more efficient" is a false equivalence created by a managerial class that doesn't actually do any of the work. Efficiency is a matter of energy conservation, but capital, which never actually expends energy, can only view it in terms of money

Don't do this administration's work for them by coming up with justifying and rationalizing arguments for institutions and organizations to cooperate. This includes the justifications for why the Democratic party has to "find common ground." If you even start to think this, slap yourself.

I organize online, but I show up in person. We can’t just throw hot takes out on social media. We have to call, write, testify, and march if we can. Show up and they’ll know the resistance is real.

"Men will spend years complaining about the fact that their wives left, and shouldn’t have been able to. They’ve politicized this, trying to prevent women from leaving by codifying no-fault divorce laws. If you have to legally force someone to have a relationship with you, maybe you’re the problem."

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: there have been times when you controlled the House & Senate, yet Republicans still found ways to block your legislation. DO THAT TO THEM! And—since the GOP won’t hold hearings, go home to your districts & hold mock hearings yourselves. Let the people see what’s really up!

So obviously racist and sexist of Starbucks! We all know white men are waiting in line to take low paying service jobs!

Falling for “the waste inspector (who has the sole, unchecked power to define what waste is and defines it as anything he doesn’t like) sure is finding a lot of waste!“ doesn’t even rise to the level of the wallet inspector. It’s “got your nose” level. Infant shit.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

Nailed it
