I love that Elon's big flex and "truth bomb" is that he worked for and helped make a pedophile the President of the United States

i’m hooting and hollering this is the shit i live for

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

NO!!!!! - dashare.zone ADMIN

I know the costco box of gushers in the snack closet at my office hates to see me coming

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

being a vizier and not being grand has gotta suck so bad

The entire Republican Party has lined up solidly behind a would-be fascist dictator with a narcissistic psychopathic personality disorder. But the real problem is that Democrats spent too long backing a president who often looked and sounded old.

you know it's good water when you're drinking it messy style

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Jon’s NSFW take on Trump’s 100-Day Jubilee, plus an interview with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear on tomorrow’s new episode.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Trump is using the weather machine to target liberal cities with rain every Saturday

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

New YouGov/Economist poll out this morning finds Trump is no longer popular on immigration. This was the last issue he had a positive net approval on. This was very easy to see coming, esp bc individual components of immigration policy are so toxic: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/should-dem...

thought crimes are now illegal in the united states. it’s truly baffling that their anyone was ever convinced by the right being pro “free speech”. anyone who gave any credence to that argument is a rube

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

It seems like I’d want a retirement account and healthcare and civil rights but on the other hand Hollyweird rebooted Matlock and made it a lady Matlock so you can understand my dilemma

Every clip I see from Fox News or any of the business channels is basically a higher-resolution version of this. Probably fine!

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.

leftists be like "down with the american empire" and then get mad when it happens

Here’s the thing about the tariffs: there will be no “short term pain”. Only long term. Every time a company realizes they can get away with charging you extra they don’t ever lower the price again. They just gouge. Whatever price hikes there are will be here for good.

we all got that one friend who's an unreliable narrator

ending my day respiratory neutral by going for a run and then smoking weed

elon musk furious that they were using signal and not Twitter DMs to discuss classified information

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

hey just saw this are you guys still bombing yemen

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Not a single mention of the absolutely enormous rallies headlined by Sanders and AOC on the front pages of the NYT or WaPo. I will leave contrasting how they covered the "tea party" at this point in 2009 as an exercise to the reader

If I give the bully my lunch money every day eventually he will die of old age

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Empathy, or the lack thereof

my spotify got hacked for 2 days earlier this week and stream farmed for Carin Leon

the primary emotion guiding your airport experience should be Fear. missing your flight ? 9/11? no air traffic control,? Fear.

what was i cooking

new saddest six word story just dropped

culture defining run of 4 songs. zedd was really the moment

538 was the only politics podcast i listened to routinely, rather than just for subjects im interested in. this elimination is a huge loss for political data and journalism at a time where it seems like there's no good news.

Some federal workers are going back to work. The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back. Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired. The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

abc cutting 538, what's even the point anymore. are we just admitting that we're post-data and just yelling our personal truths at each other?

just watched a girl get the ick on the red line when the guy she was talking to stumbled when we started moving. absolutely brutal

Yes, millions of people will suffer but at least it's for a good cause: because one old asshole wanted to avoid going to jail for crimes he committed
