I’m Doing My Part!

'luigi mangione being celebrated as a hero will lead to a valorization of vigilante violence' is one of those things that only sounds reasonable if you start paying attention to American vigilantism at the exact moment it targets someone with wealth and influence

FC Cincinnati beat the defending champs at home 😊

by the time of the convention, tlaib and the other dissenters were practically begging harris and the dem leadership to give them anything they could hang their hat on and the dems still refused

If you want to run for local office, @runforsomething.net is here to help you. Look up what office you can run for at runforwhat.net -- our next intro call is Tuesday night.

Before he formed Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page played a prom, in 1968, with his previous band, the Yardbirds, at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati. The president of the school's junior student council at the time tells David Owen about the experience.

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

Uhhhhhh www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Luigi Mangione STUNS in bulletproof vest!

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

NEWS: Federal judge blocks parts of two of Trump’s anti-diversity executive orders, finding that some provisions violate the First Amendment and are unconstitutionally vague. * preliminary injunction: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... * opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What the fuck is wrong with Democrats

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

lmao, jesus

holy shit, an actual false flag attack

Here’s how many billions Elon Musk’s companies are making from U.S. taxpayers

Dunking on conservative media literacy is getting boring but one of the actual godfather’s most famous lines is “a man who doesn’t spend time with his family is not a man at all”

An excellent deep dive intp the dats behind FIRE's "campus free speech" rankings. You won't be surprised to learn they are bullshit, riddled with errors and willful misrepresentions. This is not a serious organization and we would stop treating it as such. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

The @nytimes.com changed the story and has now added this info after I caught them last night. This is why I screenshot these stories. There was no editors note added nor did they point out that a stealth edit was made. h/t @shoq.bsky.social

Not sure what more could be needed than "the Mayor indicted for corruption has entered into a quid pro quo to change his policies in exchange for dropping the charges, a indisputable fact made clear in writing by multiple DOJ officials and confirmed in TV interviews with the Mayor."

thinking about this post

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Some interesting posts re: John Fetterman's staff turnover

The US is seeing multiple current measles outbreaks, one of which is one of the worst in years, and Health Secretary RFK Jr.’s personal organization, which he told the US Senate he would not seek to divest from, is telling people “measles has health benefits.”

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

X is holding a merger hostage - unless there is more ad spending on X. This is naked corruption. [Gift article] www.wsj.com/business/med...

“Filed by Acting U.S. DOGE Administrator” WHOMST?????????

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

wow
