Just realized this must be a bangin time for foreign countries to recruit disgruntled Americans. Apparently ‘commies’ are still a thing living in the heads of bigots, and I can’t think of a better time for supporters of other ideologies to get a foothold besides right now.

fact check: since congestion pricing started, subway crime is down 36%.

American Airlines, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United know fascists will support them in not having to: return wheelchairs unbroken, provide accessible bathroom facilities, refrain from removing clothing, and ::rechecks notes:: talk to disabled people. The safeguards were only in place a month.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

Marisa Kabas: Elon Musk & his young acolytes are actual, open Nazis. “Whatever comes to mind when you think of a Nazi, that is for whom this country is currently being run.” [thehandbasket.co]

I’m pretty pissed no dems in power have called any of these people racist pieces of shit or anything else deservingly direct.

This is just next level cuckholding. Techbros, showing your Babylon Bee date you can’t defend her and are actually very weak next to the ex-military dude is going to be very popular as a porn plot.

With the IRS and Social Security being the next targets, this country should have learned, for many reasons, to love immigrants, sex workers, and dealers because they’ve built the tools to protect their money from the b/millionaires in power since forever. May they inherit the earth.

Next Steps from Sat’s trans Lurie Children’s Hospital youth healthcare protest: 1. Call Patient Relations: 312-227-4940 2. Email CEO Tom Shanley: [email protected] Ask when they’re going to follow the IL AG directive to provide life saving & affirming surgical care to trans patients

I accidentally saw a clip of that whole ass monster Amy Schumer bouncing to two white people parodying Not Like Us on SNL’s mediocre circle jerk this weekend and 🤢 Also, love Tim Robinson. Who else could create a Totino’s commercial that makes me laugh every time?
