The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

There's been a shift in the language of climate urgency in the Anglosphere over the last year. Interesting to see China and France issuing a joint statement recognizing "the URGENCY of responding to THE CLIMATE CRISIS and its impact on ecosystem, civil society and global economy"

Whenever I read shit like this, I am baffled. Lazy. These people are just lazy and they don’t care about writing at all. They want to get accolades and profits for the thing, but they don’t even want to DO the thing.

So Joe Biden was allegedly feeble and absent minded, but he still ran the country well and not into the damn ground like Donald Trump? I’d take Biden over this mess any day.

This is huge 👀 A record-high 48% of US adults anticipate that global warming will pose a serious threat to themselves or their way of life, up from 44% a year ago and 25% in 1997. When that number crosses 50%, we'll finally see some real action. #ClimateChange

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

It’s not you. It could be a drinking game: how long before the Concerned Liberal Feminist’s thinkpiece uses the word empower(ing) to critique sex worker media? End of the first paragraph.

Understand this: by trying to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elon Musk and Russ Vought are trying to make it easier for big banks to cheat you. It’s another way the Trump administration wants to reward the rich and powerful while hurting working people.
