I'm truly not interested in a political project that "restores" the US. I only care about one that completely transforms it.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

just one more recession bro i swear i can stop whenever trust me just let me have one more recession

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Luv 2 live in a country that elected to set itself on fire instead of honestly dealing with its legacy of racism

AOC was right. It's probably the right time for a lot of people to start entering the fray and running establishment Dems out of office.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

well this made me cry over breakfast. to any democrats holding even a shred of power right now: look at what’s possible from people far more endangered and vulnerable than you and grow a spine, you fucking cowards www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

wanna feel old? it used to be Crime AND Punishment

When in doubt,

1955. Good work everyone, we did it.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

You first.

Sometimes, the best UFO is just a dildo.

The kids that used to “gleek” on you in middle-school are currently running the US government.

The Peace Plan: Get the fuck out of our country. #StandWithUkraine

Wallace Shawn Emerges As Frontrunner To Replace Daniel Craig As James Bond

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

That’s more like it.

Oh a new platform to remind people that George Michael’s Freedom ‘90 is the best pop song ever

So we went from “TikTok is spying on you” to “invite your friends to TikTok” in less than a month

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this

About once a week I get really sad about Julian Sands being dead.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

As an Irish-American, this hits for me.

Groundhog Day In a world where there’s a non-zero chance the US will be in a shooting war with Canada by the end of the year, divination by marmot seems perfectly reasonable

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Chicago, baby.

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

Heroes

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

the best and the brightest

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Meeting Bobby Flay and immediately saying "Jump to Recipe"

Good luck getting me to call it the Gulf of America when I still say "Sears Tower"

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

Like vaccines, when regulations do their job people forget why we needed them in the first place.
