It seems the USA's 'manifest destiny' is to elect the very worst people among them and destroy the democracy they swore to defend.

Zohran Mamdani and AOC aren’t the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Eventually, people start to realize who’s keeping them poor.

Historically, the GOP, now known as the Magat Party has never been fiscally responsible when it's in power.

This makes a hell of a lot of sense.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

I feel like we should be way more upset that the President lies to us on a daily basis.

Texans, vote for James Talarico for senate and Gina Hinojosa for governor!

*taking rapid drags of a cigarette, eyes darting around the room, sweat pouring off my forehead, resting heart rate of 168* Everyone is using AI, right? We're all doing it! Like who even cares, right?

Um, I think you mean "lowest-grossing LIVE ACTION 'Star Wars' movie yet." -- Sincerely, co-writer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

In honor of his passing, it's worth remembering that Rex Reed also briefly worked at the Daily Planet.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Attention all men. More of this, please.

Texas voters just sent the book banners packing. Not in California. Not in New York. In Texas. Across the state, voters went to the polls and threw out right-wing school board members who built their local political brands on book bans, anti-LGBTQ policies and Christian nationalist culture-war panic

May the 4th be with you as we are living in a crisis where the distance between what it said and what is known to be true has become an abyss Even so, you are not alone, you have friends everywhere

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

We should be learning from other countries...

Gaetz’s entire post... dismantled with one sentence. 😅

What is the point of the Constitution if this criminal is not impeached and removed? Seriously.

To be clear, the Republicans who policed all of our speech when Charlie Kirk was killed, & who jump on anyone who doesn’t mourn their heroes correctly, have just opened the door for every liberal & leftist in America to post ‘Good, I’m glad he’s dead” when Trump eventually dies.

Kristi Noem gets taken to the gravel pit.

remember when everything was possibly cake and we were driven mad by the possibility that everything was cake? don't you wish everything was possibly cake now instead of probably ai? we were such fools to squander a cake-based reality.

She was a singular, devastatingly funny talent. RIP.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors. Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

Spin-off idea: LANDMAN: VENEZUELA

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is running for US Senate. youtu.be/W-Pe1GifYLs?...

So he’s saying when he was a podcaster he was being paid to lie and invent conspiracies for his listeners but now he has to tell the truth.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Happy Thanksgiving

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Christ, he is supernaturally good at this.
