fuck it’s so tempting to think you’re meant to be a weapon instead of a tool

does this mean zendaya’s last name is evergreen

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

if there was this much of an egg shortage under brandon the treatlerites would’ve done a second 9/11 by now

said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.

One of the core beliefs I've adopted in the last few years is that we generally underrate how goofy and stupid the American past was and that being attentive to that helps us see continuities with the present. It's actually not obvious we live in dumber times. Every day tests this belief anew.

*extremely south african accent* The State Department was wasting $1 trillion on something called "The American imperialism and economic coercion project (woke)." This has been canceled

Governor Tim Walz says when Democrats are back in power, people are "not going to expect us to tinker around the edge with the ACA; they're going to expect universal healthcare."

elon musk, the world's richest man, unilaterally deciding that lifesaving relief for children on the verge of starvation is "wasteful" while he personally reaps hundreds of millions from the us government, makes me feel things i cannot write on the internet.

i hate talking to people on here who you can tell have no actual morals or principles because everything is a "slippery slope" to them even when it's absolutely not. "if we start harassing nazis where does it stop??" at the nazis. that's where it stops. i have an actual moral framework, do you?

lmao

Many people seem to think that certain things 'aren't enough' and so either don't do anything or are discouraged. To me, this is part of a learned helplessness AND also part of all or nothing thinking [very USian]. Doing small things ALL OF THE TIME is better than one big thing one time [maybe].+

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

Good god that first sentence is a nightmare

The USDA says egg prices could increase 41% this year. Meanwhile, the industry is more consolidated than ever and revenues are rising. Cal-Maine Foods controls a fifth of the egg market. Its revenue jumped 82% in a year—driven by an "increase in the net average selling price."

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

So much wrong here including this unctuous toady’s inability to use the apostrophe s properly. See my deployment of “toady’s.”

getting new cars every couple of years is one of those consumption things we need to make illegal. if you buy a car you need to make a death pact with it, you cannot get a new one until it’s dead and buried

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Next election is like prime time for socialists and communists to run for local office

So patronizing when the dentist patiently explains how to floss. I'm not a baby who doesn't know how to do basic things. I'm a baby who doesn't wanna

elon musk might be one of the most paranoid weirdos out there

INBOX: Washington Governor Bob Ferguson’s office says that the state Employment Security Department is helping affected federal employees who have been laid off apply for unemployment benefits and seek new work, and is reporting numbers on affected federal workers.

omg he did a provocative gesture that brings to mind the similar extended arm movements that were recently controversially done by another man who was also doing some kind of politically fraught incendiary gestures which involved some sort of extension of the limbs as is possible when one extends th

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Elon musk (thank you for everything sir I respect you a whole lot sir) told me to go fuck myself and that he wants to eliminate Congress

elon musk is the generational case study of how lust for power, unlimited wealth, and the desire for a century long legacy can make you one of the most evil people curruently alive in the world

The job market has never been better for shills, stooges, and toadies of all stripes. Linkedin absolutely buzzing if you're a sycophant, a flunky, or even an unctuous little worm

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

it's funny how people rationalize grimes' nazi "adjacency" by explaining she's simply very dumb yeah most nazis are, if anything that's probably their most common trait

The IRS is expected to fire upwards of 6,000 employees as early as today. This will mean fewer audits for rich tax dodgers. According to U.S. Treasury estimates, the top 1% underpay their taxes by $163 billion every year.

the right controls the entire government, control over information and what gets censored by the government, the mainstream media, every economic institution and the right is still pissed off about some people putting pronouns in emails

I don’t know what to call this but flamboyantly evil.

Math is hard

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!
