The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This jowly, pudgy, clearly mediocre White man who likely couldn’t make it up a flight of steps if a leopard (😈) were chasing him has such clear DISDAIN for the female constituents who are JUST TRYING TO BE HEARD. He doesn’t think his precious cocktail hour should be delayed by such harpies. 🤬

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

I normally do not post on here on the weekend. But I need some moral support because about to watch Wakanda Forever for the first time. And I'm going to be a crying sobbing mess. This why I have been ducking and diving this movie for 3 years. So I need you to hold my hand through this.

very fun to to hear liberals complain about ‘purity tests’ and as a trans person knowing the test is ‘do you want to kill me and all my friends’

If you live in Wisconsin, you need to get involved with Susan Crawford's campaign now. Far-right activists have been talking about this race since November. If you live out of state, consider phone banking for crawford or throwing dough to her campaign or grassroots groups organizing for her.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

For those leaving audible and wanting to convert their purchased audiobooks to ones that can be used in other players: You'll need to download your library. The browser app can be memory heavy, so expect the browser to reload every few books. ffmpeg is more stable, but more complex.

Conservatives sieg heil-ing for the camera is about them playing a game of chicken with the media. Every time an outlet calls it a “Roman salute” or a “provocative hand gesture” the conservative proves who holds the power.

McConnell's legacy is grim - he fought campaign finance reform, stonewalled Supreme court nominees - but what stands out most? More than any single person, he had the chance to end Trump but chose not to do so, even as he understood the risk Trump posed. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...
