when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

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.

This is really something

People should not get hurt by their government. Especially for criticizing said government.

so the child porn guy is gonna get off?

Patel is gonna fucking arrest half of hollywood and half of congress as well as not check any domestic terrorism.

When someone calls someone else an NPC, that means they could give a fuck who lives or dies and should be marked pariahs.

Did the US fight on the wrong side in World War II? This Federalist Society law professor thinks so.

The Nazis and fascists wouldn’t be running a massive demoralization campaign, coupled with a terror campaign online if they thought they had the power to pull off what they were trying to do without a fight. They are weaker than we are and we outnumber them 100 to one. They will reap the whirlwind

thread of anti-klan cartoons from 100+ years ago

No Gods, no kings, no masters.

I agree with this 100%. Same with anyone hoping for the neoliberal order to return. Putin has won. Something new has to take its place that isn't based on care bear caring that neolibs could rule again.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

Now that Rubio has completely sold out the country, NATO, and his own self respect, I look forward to George Will trashing him mercilessly.

The last month has really taxed my anxiety and mental health, but you know what folks? Tacos. What a bold and savory Hallelujah.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Every union should be echoing this statement.

Gotta wonder what trump and musk are gonna release on 3/7 when the BLS employment stats are dropped, and how much they think the market will take being lied too? Didn't work out well long term for the Soviets, but maybe a couple months of fibbing can defy gravity.
