The closure of CFPB highlights the grand lie at the heart of DOGE. CFPB is cheap to run & delivers billions to victims of corporate scams. It’s the definition of value for money. But X & Meta hate it because it targets big tech fraud. DOGE is not about waste. It’s about enriching the oligarchy.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

"...it’s only a matter of time until DOGE’s meddling inadvertently triggers a catastrophic failure of Bureau of the Fiscal Service systems," writes @lizthegrey.com in an op-ed for @thebulletin.org. thebulletin.org/2025/02/why-...

literally what Théoden sounded like after Wormtongue whispered in his ear

Black History teaches that you can get soul food feasts out of slavery and big band jazz out of a great depression, so you probably shouldn't spent too much time ruminating on "we're cooked" posts written by white people. They'll come up with their own resilient joy in due time. It takes practice.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

yeah you saw what you saw youtube.com/shorts/EGqyq...

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

Everyone in the US is a female, got it.

people are angry with you for watching them punch us in the face and then saying "we gotta be bipartisan." they're right. punch back or get out of the way.

Instead of joining Chinese apps as an alternative to TikTok, Gen Z users should simply stop dancing and having fun and become mildly depressed 37 year old Bluesky users talking about Star Trek Deep Space 9

"The two companies reportedly signed an agreement last year stating OpenAI has only achieved AGI when it develops AI systems that can generate at least $100 billion in profits." "AGI is when I have heaps of money," is one hell of a position. techcrunch.com/2024/12/26/m...

i would like to ask some folks how much it’s worth to them to be bigots. like what percentage of their earnings, how many drops in the class hierarchy are they willing to give up in order to enforce bigotry.

The answer to “why doesn’t America have [insert social program every other Western nation has]” is always racism. After they could no longer legally exclude Black people from receiving them, they nuked them altogether.

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

trump will be the next reagan in the sense that in 30 years every time you notice some horrible defect in society you'll do some quick research and trace it back to trump

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?

i'm not joking about this: Kamala Harris is seen as to the left of both because she's Black

It’s official.
