"people should start saving now" is an awful shitty thing to say to the 7.5M disabled people on SSI who legally cannot save more than $2k without losing their benefits which are a max of $943 a month to fucking begin with www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

When I was a young pup I was obsessed with the graffiti frm the May 1968 Paris protests and the one that has been echoing in my head all week is "you will die of comfort"

dems are probably going to eat shit from fox & newsmax & the NYT for this for a news cycle. or until the recession hits. you’re going to hate that i’m asking this, but if you have a dem senator who voted to stop this, you should call & tell them “good job. we like when you fight. keep it up.”

the strangest thing about pro-natalism to me is how they realize that reproduction is a fundamental biological drive, but can’t make the leap to “if you have to force people to do something that is their most powerful natural urge, there’s a systemic problem”

our fastest probe would take longer to reach proxima centauri b than humans have lived in south america aliens too far

Call to action: join us at the Huntington Beach City Council meeting this Tuesday, March 4th. Meeting starts at 6PM, but you should show up early if you want to speak! #localpoliticsmatter #queersolidarity #queerresistance #localpolitics #jointheresistance @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

REMEMBER KIDS when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down. This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

Again, the richest man in human history personally individually directed this

Calling all federal workers! We've compiled a roundup of discounts and free services for you. If you know of additional offers, you can add to our post using the form embedded a the bottom.

one of the the things about hamish mcsubstack is that he's an asshole. he speaks to people like he's the victim, rather than the rich fucker raking in cash from afrikaaner VC collective et al. and who doesn't want the grift to stop.

this is so frustrating to me bc they are cartoon villains so write the hero storyline

i want to see this energy and not a scintilla less

I think that Democrats should boycott the State of the Union, which is pointless. Instead, of having a Democrat provide the rebuttal, they should bring in recently fired federal workers to describe the important work they used to do.

imma need white ppl to stop apologizing and start punching their racist cousins in the fucking face

“ We expect the upside potential from all these opportunities to represent as much as $800 million to $1 billion in incremental annual ICE revenues” you know who's REALLY excited about the Newark ICE facility opening back up?

Hey look a portal open to public submission, hope no one floods it with the Bee Movie script to the point of being unusable or something

Canadian authors with books in libraries: I just got my PLR check. If you haven't signed up for the Public Lending Right program do it. The government compensates authors for ebooks, print and audiobooks available via our libraries. Max is $4500 for all titles. There is a -- publiclendingright.ca

Empowering the plaintiffs bar is the best low-key thing Dems could do. Plaintiff lawyers are the most pro-Dem donor bloc in the country.

I honestly don’t know why they frame it as if these companies are reluctantly giving up DEI- these companies are disinvesting in DEI because they don’t think the courts or the political system will punish them for discrimination anymore. DEI existed for most as a lawsuit barrier.

Evergreen

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

I think it is somewhat important to see this as consistent with the entire body of Title VII case law. Federal employment anti-discrimination law protects traits, not groups. The stringently textualist opinion in Bostock made this an inevitable, too, because it wasn’t just about sex stereotypes.

I know this sucks to hear and it's not much more fun to say but aggressively posting more of what you want to see into the void and refusing to accept any other outcome is the way forward, it's like being a microblogging version of an author

damn, can't believe I left this setting on all this time

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

HUGE: The Supreme Court sides with Richard Glossip, holding that prosecutors violated his constitutional rights by failing to correct false testimony at his trial. It directs the Oklahoma courts to vacate his conviction! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

I love that so many law schools are now offering state constitutional law courses. As I’ve said before, the overwhelming majority of cases in this country take place in & are resolved by state courts. It’s crucial to educate the next generation of lawyers about state courts and state constitutions.

I’m so tired of repeating this but it isn’t really sinking in so: theories that the government is being run by shapeshifting lizard/reptilian aliens pretending to be human is an age-old ANTISEMITIC conspiracy theory. This is a conference about how to stop the Jews. This is NOT a fringe idea.

MFP reporters would like to talk to federal workers in Mississippi who have lost jobs as a result of DOGE. If you or someone you know has lost a job or know of a program that has been cut and would be willing to speak to our reporters, please email us at [email protected]

It is truly amazing how no one seems to give a shit in media about how young women around the world are becoming ever more left wing.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Rude.

I’ve said it before but a lot of people who are very smug about their contempt for “liberals” actually have just mistaken “liberals” for “women.”

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

this and “your mom” are the only correct millennial responses to the “what did you do last week?” emails elon is sending

If we could figure out how to extract energy from White Guy "Extremism" Researcher benefits of the doubt we'd be able to reverse climate change

I want to see city halls full of rumpled retired people ready to skeletonize a recalcitrant congressperson in 30 seconds, all across America

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

Once again I am telling you: if you have a uterus, do not wear an Apple Watch www.pcmag.com/opinions/if-...

It’s a death cult. They worship the loss of life, and take joy in forcing more death on anyone they can.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
