What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Keep this shit up and Canada will be able to invade *us*.

"If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker." -Mike McD, Rounders Stop giving people the benefit of the doubt. Assume the worst, and prepare accordingly. It was never just empty words—they wish us all harm. Yes, those people, too.

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

A. Boeing, we're all counting on you. B. Boeing is not remotely the company I'd want to place a rush order with.

I guess fuck what the people want. To hell with this state. Ohio Senate proposes to “repeal most of” current marijuana law Source: Cleveland 19 News search.app/4d2n

yesterday Trump signed one of the most concerning EOs to date, giving power over final approval for all federal regulations — including those from independent agencies like the FCC, NLRB, and Fed's oversight of banks — to the White House via OMB

Because the point is not what they do to you, but what they can get you to do to each other

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

SportsCenter with Druski, or whatever his name is? Can we not just get sports highlights while the country disintegrates? We gotta suffer through dipshit interviews with unserious sumbitches, too?

They know. They did THE EXACT SAME THING the first time and the last nuclear scientist left at DOE had to call the congress and warn them he was the last one overseeing the nuclear arsenal and his contract wasn’t renewed They know They also know no one cares www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/07...

Set up an entire shadow government! Other countries do already do this! Let people see how putting you in charge would be different!

Counterpoint, every super old and active person I know holds ancient, mystically enchanted grudges

Let me know when y'all are ready to get stabby, mmkay?

Allegory alert!

"Trump and Elon Musk are like two guys with six-shooters trying to hold a thousand people hostage. They only win if everyone thinks they are too strong to rush." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

"We want to be at the frontier of killing our citizens." -Louisiana, I guess

I thought I left this kind of cruelty behind on the other app

Nazi flags and Confederate flags get torched on sight.

If Trump sells F-35s to India, the era of US air dominance is over. Full stop.

What good is a Democrat who votes as a Republican, @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social @greglandsman.bsky.social ? Stand up for yourselves, for Christa Christ's sake. Stand up for Ohioans, and quit being cowards.

Trump and Elon Musk plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and strip transitioning military veterans and their families overseas of the generous federal hiring incentives they rely on. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Historians in 100 years looking back on America from 2015 on.

Just figured out how I'm going to avoid reading about the speedrun of the end of America this week.

the FT is the only one really reporting in any meaningful way that these guys are all nazis

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

He fucking dunked two balls. C'mon now.

i do not understand what elon and trump would be doing differently if there weren’t themselves actual agents of beijing and moscow

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

Capitalism has poisoned some of yall real bad. We should not work as hard as we do. Other countries do not live like us. They are not spending as much money as we are. They work less and live longer. We are like this because of capitalism. And you being proud you have to work to survive is a symptom
