All the people with takes that boil down to “I am a very serious and smart activist, which is why I’m here to tell you it’s actually bad that millions of people hit the streets yesterday” can go jump in a lake

they are segregationists, it has been obvious from the jump, and i think that pundits who dismissed the charge as hyperbolic should explain why they couldn’t see the fact pattern

Booker: "What this president is doing is violating our constitutional principles, violating the fundamental rights of people in order to punish them to carry out his own retribution plan ... Donald Trump is saying, 'ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for Donald Trump.'"

cringe, as an idea, is a dead end. it’s a means of writing off sincerity and earnestness in pursuit of some ill-defined concept of above-it-all cool. letting it help define online culture was a mistake. if you view everything as cringe, you are living an empty life

My father had Alzheimers when he died. He was the complete and total basis for my sense of humor. He was my biggest influence in comedy and in everything. He was a beautiful person. This guts me.

When I was surviving DV, my abuser would sometimes wreck his own stuff and punch holes in the wall. On really bad days, he’d threaten to end both of our lives. Autocrats behave the same way but have a global stage. That’s what you’re seeing in the US. Someone burning things down because they can…

Trump just pardoned crypto firm BitMex for violating money laundering laws — making him potentially the first president in American history to pardon a corporation. It's truly a new Golden Age for corporate crime.

SCOOP— Social Security Administration (SSA) will be slashing more jobs at direction of the WH/OPM/OMB, multiple agency sources confirmed to me. This is despite Acting Commissioner Dudek’s assurances two weeks ago that no more RIFs would be necessary this fiscal year after hitting downsizing targets.

the entire US system is sustained by the cheap treats we get, like a new video games and pieces of technology. telling americans they can't have their treats is like declaring war on their existence

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

"Liberation" from the ability to retire. "Liberation" from buying a new computer. "Liberation" from affording eggs. "Liberation" from democracy. So much liberation.

being forced to watch the deliberate undoing of every single transformative gain my grandparents saw in their entire lifetimes within the last three or so decades of my own lifetime is really something. we are literally seeing the American Century played back in reverse.

How is this not one of the biggest scandals of the year? This bigoted loon sitting down with the president in the Oval and demanding he fire national security officials. Insane. The normalization of Trump and the far continues apace.

A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now. It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.

Don't worry, as the country faces an entirely self-inflicted financial crisis he created today, Donald Trump is going to a Saudi golf event tonight. It's a pro-am and it's unclear if he'll play in it.

He may be the worst US President but he is certainly the best soviet asset in history. Congratulations to the USSR on your belated post mortem victory over the USA.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.
