Dear god let this man cook.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

The message from Baltimore, where Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s detention odyssey began

Yes. I do not want to ever 'move on' again. Every time we turn the cheek, overlook the criminality, absolve the sins, they come back worse. I want punishment. Deterrence. Retribution. Err on the side of excess, not lenity. Anything less is asking them to come back worse yet again.

If I were responsible for the deaths of one of my kids I would be catatonic until the point at which I threw myself off a bridge.

"Democrats will get a bad ruling from the parliamentarian and they'll say, 'welp, what could we possibly do?' Whereas the Republicans are like, 'the parliamentarian says we can't do that so let's just get a new fucking parliamentarian.' And that's a microcosm for the broader fight."

The entire point of a political party is to fight for the things its members believe in. We shouldn’t have to constantly do this much work to get the Democrats to do their core job. People shouldn’t need to beg Democrats to vote right or simply speak out. The party has failed its core function.

I do believe we’re facing a generational problem. We have Dems who’ve been in office so long that they think their job is just to get elected in the next cycle and not to govern and wield power. They worry too much about what Rs might weaponize and as a result they refuse to fight.

governments should spend money, literally all their fucking money. on taking care of the people from whom they got the money. on building cool shit for the people from whom they got the money to use, like highways and public works. this is real easy how can these people be so bad at this

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.

🐐 🐐 🐐 🎩

it is just grotesque how many Americans totally take for granted what good fortune it has been to have incredibly good relations with a rich power neighbor sharing the worlds longest land border

Stocks are down and eggs are up. My coffee shop just raised the price of a latte by 20% This is what people chose facism and wars with allies for? Meanwhile our treasury is being looted by the richest man in the world, who was not elected, and trans people no longer exist. We are a laughingstock.

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

This is not a thought and prayers post,,, this is heartfelt hurt for the families and friends and US Figure Skating and DC School District and everyone who is affected. This is bout politicians who need to stfu bout trying to blame women and black people for this absolute tragedy,,, Not the time!!!

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

What a complete failure of a president

Even as Americans live longer, they spend more of their years in poor health than any other country, a new study shows. People in the US live with illness for 12.4 years on average – up from 10.9 years in 2000, according to a study published by the American Medical Association

I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime. CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election

when they don't actually have any crying libs to make fun of they just repeat the same attack pattern but against people having normal conversation
