Inject this into my veins

is it just me or does this all feel unsustainable

all my ape retweets gone

he really cared about this, illustrating yet again why the billionaires hate Wikipedia

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

I think there’s a fundamental difference between people who believe that a politician losing an election is a failure on the politician and people who believe a politician losing an election is a failure on the voters.

That the files aren't ending the careers of everyone named in them tells you all you need to know. That all those people aren't in jail is a clear indicator of what matters. It's a political football. There's no justice for survivors because the victims were girls and young women.

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

This debate or discourse or discussion about why Bezos is dismantling WaPo or whether or not more subscriptions or boycotts could change things or how he could fund it easily is pointless. It’s moot. Bezos bought the Post to control the narrative and push his agenda. Financials don’t matter.

There's a point, well below a billion dollars, where the amount of money you have lets you rid yourself of anyone who can be a check on your worst impulses, and replace them with people who tell you those worst impulses are somehow valorous. Rare is the billionaire with someone to tell them "no."

...horrifying message without context, thank you

pretty insane how we all witnessed the George Floyd protests, got virtually no change to policing in this country, and leading Dems are going "we need ICE to be held to the same standard as police!!!" ...meaning no standard. no change. no accountability. just ever increasing police/ICE budgets.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

[first day at new job] do you guys hate me

in 2018!!!! can we please stop giving her plausible deniability for being one of the most disgusting humans alive

“Kamala warned us” Fuck you Palestinians warned you Black people warned you The Left warned you Half the international community warned you The US slide into fascism has been long and slow. Many have been falsely imprisoned or killed by it over decades. It just finally came for you.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

This photo made me understand class in America in a way that I was unable to process before seeing it. The rich enjoy class solidarity on a level that is unimaginable to most people.

how does anyone look at how the state of the world has unraveled over the last 25 years and not become an absolute nihilist. I feel gaslit by most people who aren't.

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

Using a VPN to do something as simple as pirate a show that isn’t available in your region meanwhile richest man on the planet was just sending emails like “Hey man when’s the next trip to Pedo Island, let me know when things are the most Pedo, so I can come to Pedo Island.

concerning

It is somehow still January

the fact that this bullshit has even reached the supreme court is completely disqualifying to the entire field of law

Satoshi Kon talks about how Requiem for a Dream took from his film Perfect Blue (1997)

Elon Musk chatting it up with his friend Jeffrey Epstein five years after he was convicted for child sex crimes 👍

The state of american politics is that one major party wants to kill you while the other simply wants you to die

WHAT

Great movie

Does it inspire any introspection on the part of the Democratic foreign policy establishment that backing Israel to the hilt no matter what it did at any time undermined America's global position and image while also not getting any credit from Israel itself

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

The "ban whistles" stuff is how you know whistles are working incredibly well

listen here you stupid leftoid, if you just voted blue in 2024, ICE would be ruining the lives of immigrant families quietly and efficiently in a way where we wouldn't have to hear about it on the news

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it

just have to say I am genuinely tired of hearing the take that Republicans are afraid of Democrats taking power again because “they would go to prison”, like what shred of evidence do you have of any legal accountability from the past decade of lawless nascent-to-full blown fascism?

welcome to america, the country that makes you watch executions in the street frame by frame a few times a month just to stay up in current events

Retrain and reform I say while the head of the whole fucking deal says we're not telling you who murdered the nurse and is paid with your federal tax money

Just a reminder that the paper is owned by one of the wealthiest men in the world who recently paid $40 million to distribute a documentary about the first lady.

hey folks, six figure opinion columnist here and gotta say, made a big ol’ whoopsie on the most consequential and honestly, probably the most obvious opinion of my life. thats my bad. anyway, guess I’ll just keep getting paid to give my opinion, thanks for reading

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.
