are we talking about a key architect of the reactionary takeover of the supreme court, which then essentially legalized executive branch corruption in its overarching project to end democracy? that mcconnell?

The way to square this circle, and some Dems get this a lot better than Jeffries, is that the lawlessness and corruption, i.e. accountability, and cost-of-living affordability are all the same issue. Trump's making things more expensive because of all the wildly illegal and corrupt stuff he's doing!

You have had [two] glasses of mezcal. Would you like to now see: The beauty in all of God's creatures [_] The evil that lurks in the heart of man [_]

If you fell for these guys’ shtick even for a second you’re a moron.

This is such embarrassing behavior to me. How do you not feel like a coward when you explain that it's not actually about pride when it is. You are a coward.

very funny to do this when you're absolute dogwater and wouldn't make the 40 man roster on like 26 other teams

It is genuinely fucked that the WC final won't be in the Estadio Azteca, one of sport's great miracles, but instead will be in East Rutherford, one of the spaces on Earth that God forgot

These are mediocre men who believe they were unfairly held back from the success they deserve by imagined enemies and who have latched onto an outsider politician as an avatar of their grievances, believing his success represents success for them and gee that sure sounds familiar

this guy is quite obviously seething with hatred of trans people, particularly trans women. cant even do anodyne sports posts without him sneering at you. that’s *why* he gets hired by the New York Times to write about trans issues

they should be slicing up these people's brains and putting them under a microscope after they die like wrestlers and NFL players man. chronic transphobic encephalopathy

okay, that's fine but if they decide a world series game with an abs challenge, i'm gonna *checks bsky's TOS re: self-harm* put on the best talent show this town has ever seen

Learning about the treatment of Haiti over the last two and a half centuries really is like putting on the sunglasses in They Live. Haitians defeated slavery and their colonial occupiers and they will never be forgiven and the punishment will never stop.

"Is SEPTA an S-bahn?"— the greatest thread in the history of railfan forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate

few american cities have a better origin story than lawrence's "fuck slavery and fuck missouri" founding principles

case in point re: last repost (yeah yeah different countries I know but the point stands)

Pro-Palestine marches will openly be called "hate marches" in the press, but these arsonist pogroms, illustrated by a burned-out bus, are simply "disorder"

judicial review, particularly in the hyper strong American form, is bad actually. both FDR and Lincoln had to confront it head on to save America from judicial tyranny prospect.org/2022/07/11/t...

Some really crazy cases in here - cop looked up ex-girlfriend and family in Flock 100+ times - cop stalked wife giving "test" as reason - cop searched one plate 395 times in 10 months; was later fired Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

I don't think philanthropist is a term that should exist. It is never applied to middle or even high-income working people who donate portions of their salary to good causes. It only exists to launder billionaire reputations and their tax write-offs.

‘secret negotiations with Amazon’ probably isn’t a phrase you want to see in a campaign ad

This is an anti-immigrant pogrom, egged on and co-organized by the richest man in the world. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...

i have absolutely fucking had it with 100% of all of this shit. gambling websites, lies, cryptocurrency, rampant corruption, lies, deep fakes, lies, plagiarism, devaluation of expertise, lies, bile, abuse, violence, bombs, genocides, lies, plutocrats, oligarchs, and lies. fucking enough. rules time

Far too often, employers refuse to bargain in good faith w/ workers when they win a union, significantly delaying a first contract. Today, the U.S. House could pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act, which would make it easier for workers to secure a first union contract w/o unnecessary delay. 1/4

pass a meaningful U.S. internet privacy law and heavily regulate data brokers or shut the fuck up about your love of privacy and national security

the worse someone is willing to act in public the more our system rewards them

Playing on their turf never ever wins, not morally, not politically. Here's a response: "this is a wedge issue targeting kids, getting into their doctors' decisions. Next, they'll come for your hysterectomy, your vasectomy. And it's because they can't talk about the economy." Say Fuck You back

nice framing of the issue you got there. would be a shame if someone were to accept it uncritically out of cowardice

TX Republicans got Talarico playing defense. That is the losing formula.

Instructive of how sensitive to criticism some people are of "their guys" that a trans journalist saying something just plainly true, which is not even really directly about Talarico, gets some people mad at the journalist.

also an excellent opportunity to see who in the vaguely left of center electoral post-osphere runs cover for him. let's see who suddenly has a sober eye for nuance!

Looks like New York is ready for some Knicks basketball!

every screen, pop-up or button i have to see after clicking "cancel subscription" and before i see "your subscription has been canceled" should cost the company ten million dollars

I thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas town to use as a park. The town sold to a data center developer for $10 million.

I’m sorry but it is *cowardly* not to call what Israel is doing to Palestine a Holocaust. That’s what it is! It’s naked, it’s public, it’s open, every Israeli official is saying Hitlerite shit on TV every day. The settlers themselves riot to rape prisoners. Come on now.

That's also evil. We count those.

Israel wants 1) the right to dominate all Palestinians in Palestine for all eternity to their liking, 2) the right to occupy Syrian territory permanently and to their liking, 3) the right to depopulate Lebanon to their liking, 4) the right to bomb any state at any time for any reason to their liking

the thing about MLB offering this when it is in complete control of the blackout policy is that it's a union busting tactic. "players don't care if the fans get to see the games" could very possibly be a narrative MLB creates as a result. don't doubt how low they could stoop.
