HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

PUTTING THE FUN IN FUNICULAR FOR PRIDE MONTH

our continuing series, "The Trump Administration Favors American Decline"

Social mobility has been declining for decades but that's fine, we don't need the talents of 340 million people as long as we have the several dozen children of our stupidest oligarchs

I feel like I’m losing my mind. This is what they do every single time they lose! Why else was Kamala tooling around with Liz fucking Cheney???

“stop making everything political” is one of those indications of a really dumb guy. how is supporting the guy who is a nazi, was in the trump admin, and suppressing left wing voices NOT political? dumb guy tier thought process on display here

there's the first way (kids do not belong to their parents) there's the second way (there should be no limits on what a parent can do to their child) and then there's the third way (the last one again but only when the kid's a queer)

The psy-op is that there is complexity. The majority of people believe trans issues are complicated because anti-trans extremists have run a years long hate campaign to misrepresent the facts and confuse the public, countered by ZERO pushback from democrats.

I am telling you right now, and I've said it before, I'm not voting for Democrats who move even a centimeter towards the right on trans issues.

The problem is *not* that this cop was treated with empathy and lenience. The problem is, precisely, that everyone else isn’t treated with this kind of empathy and lenience.

Illegal right on red. Common suburban driver mistake.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

if the democratic party wasn’t a gerontocracy this would have failed. gerry connelly staying in office til he died allowed this to pass. this is echoes of RBG not retiring. when will democrats fucking learn

huh. never thought of it that way

Ms.Rachel is showing more humanity than our politicians

Today is a red letter day in media history where a major newspaper managed to passive voice the actual publishing of itself

This was always going to be the endpoint for people who despise expertise. Millions of people dying of preventable disease screaming “You think you’re better than me?”

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Imagine having a government job and the word comes down that you've gotta start driving that sick as hell xiaomi car.

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

Chicago adding residents even under flawed census estimations, we need to go pedal to the metal on housing starts

“You aren’t actively shooting people in the head with a gun as a communist so how can what you are saying be correct” is the laziest response of all time and to watch “leftists” do “why aren’t you firebombing a Walmart” shit is pathetic

Regardless of where you stand on reform, not funding @chicagocta.bsky.social by 5/31 will mean planning for cuts (staff bandwidth) with operator attrition (ghost buses). And if service is reduced, devastating &"shamble" for those who most rely on public transit www.chicagotribune.com/2024/08/19/o...

HBO Max, the company producing J.K. Rowling's new project, wants you to respect its second name change in as many years.

If we're being honest, most of Chicago's main high streets in neighborhoods are miserable as a pedestrian. Most lack adequate shade, there's a constant roar of traffic, and lots of air pollution. We need people-oriented streets.

it's so cool the Dingell family has held this congressional seat since FDR's first term

This is very much needed. Good news!

You bet your ass

you know you're about to read a fascinanting post when it begins with "I love women. I'm not closeted. I'm not trolling"

It’s almost as if effective advocacy and leadership, whether for good or evil, can shape public opinion, and it’s possible to work to frame issues instead of passively responding to the way the opposition frames them and accepting their characterization of what is “moderate.”

the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak

I genuinely don't think good counter-messaging on trans rights is all that difficult. There are Democrats who aren't doing it not because coming up with it is hard but because they agree with the Republicans and want to disguise their disdain for trans people as a matter of political strategy.
