1. Trump admin cuts off payments to farmers with signed contracts 2. Farmers desperately contact Republican reps in Congress for help 3. Republicans in Congress reply: Uh, this must be Democrats' fault, anyway buzz off we don't care www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

fuck the stove, folks, we're gonna straight up juggle the demon core

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate: - Emergency response in natural disasters - Education and healthcare for disabled children - Clean air and water programs - Gang crime investigations - Monitoring of nursing home abuse - Nuclear reactor regulation - Cancer research

you should actually be much angrier *if you take them at their word and agree with their objectives*, to be honest, because their approach does not and will not achieve their stated objectives.

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

this is legitimately a sign of pretty severe dependence fwiw

Does anyone remember how JD Vance traveled to Germany to meet with alt-right political party "AfD", which holds anti-NATO and pro-Russia positions, after Musk repeatedly and publicly backed them, interfering in another country's ongoing elections?

AIDS is not "long HIV," you guys are just showing that you don't understand HIV or the treatment options available. Honestly this is something that bothers me about some COVID cautious people that they lack nuance about this subject and further stigmatize HIV by simplistically equating the two lol

I'm normally cynical about politicians but this is statesmanship. It is affirming republican civic virtue. Not irony-poisoned snark, not focus-grouped talking points. The oath to the Constitution matters, and it's time to speak plainly and earnestly about how our fundamental principles are at stake.

The chief priest of Kodaiji Buddhist temple in Kyoto recently vented his frustrations after he was threatened by a tourist, declaring co-existence with foreign tourists "impossible." He later suggested that Japan educate travelers on manners before letting them visit.

the fact that there are people who seem to think that the funds he is stealing from the american people by stripping away all their rights and protections are somehow going to go to them and not directly into his bank accounts makes me want to smash my head against a wall

The thing is a segment of law professors sees the defense of birthright citizenship against for-hire scholarship as an assault on the property right of their social and professional standing as legal scholars That’s it

Democrats can’t sustain this kind of rhetoric without action. At the federal level they need to hold a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends. At the state level they could seize federal assets until court orders are being followed. We’re already outside the regular constitutional order.

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

I want to hear a lot more from JB Pritzker and AOC, and a lot less from Schumer and Jeffries

A USAID contracting officer (who for obvious reasons is not disclosing her identity) says a company named after its founder Philip Green almost got its federal contract cancelled because the fools at DOGE thought it had something to do with "green" energy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Me: Wow this book is Bad. Not even Fun or Fun-to-analyze bad. This is...did they use the plagiarism machine on this one? Me: *brief internet search of the author* Me: GDI. So, yeah. Using it for idea generation...............does show. -_-

he hasn’t saved anything, he has (illegally) refused to disburse congressionally allocated funds.

There’s not enough contempt in the goddamn world in which to hold Marco Rubio. Had his parents not fled pre-Castro Cuba, he’d have risen to Raúl’s top shoe-shine boy. (Wouldn’t have made the cut for Fidel’s crew.)

Idk feels like the president declaring himself King ought to be A1 headline stuff

Your outie is concerned only with the quality of play, not with the production values of the book.

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

You only purge the military if you plan on using the military against your own citizens. We are running out of time to actually act in a way that isn’t going to be full force kinetic contact.

Good men & women in EUCOM are—as they've done every month since Feb 2022—actively helping track & repel this aerial assault. Meanwhile their commander-in-chief at home is actively attacking Ukraine's president, while handing concession after concession to the state firing the missiles.

bro we are so burdened by what has been rn

This labeler is the closest thing we have to actually putting politicians in NASCAR jackets with their donors' names on em and I think it's beautiful

Today is National Day of Remembrance for the 120,000 Japanese Americans who were put into internment/concentration camps by an Executive Order. This is a very real part of US history, and I can only hope that we never repeat it again, but it feels, more than before, a real possibility again.

Post a meme you made

Personally, I think "we fought three and won two wars about this exact thing and fuck this un-American shit" is a real winner but I'm not a wet bitch.

Lawsuit update My lawyer sent Toxic Job a formal letter via fax (because Japan lol) last week saying that they have one week to decide if they’re REALLY going to refuse to renew my contract based on the heart attack I had. Today is the deadline for their answer. If they still refuse? Litigation.

Oh heck, get in here! This is interesting!!!
