i hate when liberals pull shit like that. i know part of it is because its a sensitive topic for me but you'd think we would have less credentialism when the two worst presidents of the last 50 years went to fucking yale and wharton.

The Poor People's Campaign's Moral Budget was a huge step forward in how we think about progressive and leftist politics in the US. We need to update, expand, and use it in our efforts to ensure a better tomorrow for the US

finally, a streamlined social media experience

The correct response when it comes to whataboutism is and should always be "I don't care"

Bullshit. Even if they do, economic damage is irreparable. This money would not fix the destroyed businesses, and it certainly will not be going to the consumers who actually paid the costs of the tariffs in most cases. At most, this will be a windfall for large companies able to weather the storm

Seeing so much nostalgia for the government we had when Obama was in office is nauseating

The idea that we should be focusing on one issue or solution at a time is degenerate

At this point, I think we can safely assume that anybody calling anything this administration does a "distraction" isn't paying attention. Grow up, folks. The heinous things they're doing are not sleight of hand - they're just the gameplan

Revolution being imminent or not doesn’t make the revolutionairy theory of change false It just means we have to tirelessly struggle to get there It means we can’t be deluded about the path forward and that we have to build the movement to make it imminent

These people genuinely think they are going to reform capitalism and then a socialist gets in office and they are like wait I can’t do anything at all about the cops what kinda snail pace do you expect to reform capitalism to socialism at. We are going to die bro

Companies consolidating property just to make it scarce so they can rent it back to everyone else for a profit is one of the four horsemen of an economic apocalypse

A gigantic problem with all of the hardware being consolidated in data farms is that, when the AI bubble does pop (it will), the only way to be productive with existing software will be to rent from the neo-feudalists that now own everything. Consumer hardware supply chains and inventory are gone

Hahahaha - can't wait to see how this goes for the Trump Admin. Ironically, Nintendo's IP litigators don't play games. Will the company accidentally use their powers for good this time?

If we want real change, we can have it in the short term, but only if we make a concerted effort to do away with the opportunists and sophists in favor of true scientists and theorists

Apolitical is a political stance. There, I fixed it.

We're cooked. Literally, they are going to cook the planet because they think science is a cult.

i feel like a lot of people could stand to ask themselves the question before they hurl any insult: "who is receiving the splash damage"

"Unexpectedly" - ok, buddy

good news. kristi noem has already found eight new jobs

There's been so much going on that I missed this story. WTF are we doing? @banditelli.org

gas prices go zooooom~

Damn. They've already erected a monument to this moron?

Legacy media is cursed

As above, so below

😡😡😡😡

Immigration authorities in Minnesota have identified legal observers by name and address, and in some cases showed up at their homes.

Use of language that conveys to voters that immigrants are a threat creates a fear response that drives them into the arms of the far right - no matter the policies being proposed. The language in this op-ed is almost textbook designed to drive voters toward Farage, Reform and Tommy Robinson.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone] Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

Wow - depending on how you count, $12k in November 1999 is worth just under $24k today; I know I'm getting old, but I'd never heard it expressed in the time value of money before

I gotta hand it to congress they aren’t even pretending to remotely be a democratic body anymore. Thank you for revealing the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie to the people

To those arguing that businesses must be getting productivity from AI since they're implementing it, this is a lot of what they're doing, and it's not actually increasing productivity. It's just another way to spend money that makes workers even more miserable

Nothing wrong with a hard primary as long as everyone can shake hands & remember who the real bad guys are from now until November

I hope Crockett will do the right thing & hit the trail hard for him. She's a powerful personality & has a lot to offer.

Yeah? No kidding. If the US was better at voting, dunking on the folks who were against the resolution would be really fun for the next 3+ elections

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree? NOEM: A what? CROCKETT: A law degree NOEM: No I do no- CROCKETT: Okay

If you're a politician and don't know whether you plan to raise taxes or not, please quit and step aside for someone with an idea of how to govern. Being persuadable is human, but not having a plan you can explain to voters is incompetence

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

Are we great yet

Weird that "top" economists are constantly being published by "mainstream" outlets but only about things the rest of us have been shouting for months and after it's too late to do anything

I just want a big bumper sticker that says SPITEFUL DRIVER Tailgaters will be delayed

Meanwhile, I'm still waking up to posts talking about "now he's done it! THIS TIME Trump has finally gone too far and his supporters will desert him. Surely they see he's crossed a line"

friend sent this over from the other place and unfortunately I did laugh

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

"I bring chair." Melania Trump to lecture UN on 'world peace' while her husband's military brags about 'knocking the crap out of Iran' and promises 'the big one is coming.' Four service members are dead, but at least we're promoting tolerance. 1/2

"hey, where is all the community support?" Individualist boomers wonder reflecting on their 50 years of unquestionable political dominance
