america's reactionaries would love nothing more to nullify the reconstruction amendments and render them a dead letter of the constitution. this was as true in 1873 as it is today.

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

Whenever I see zionists with the pager emote in their name or bios, I just remember how we got texts from family friends who worked in local hospitals the day of the pager attacks telling us about how young children were coming into the emergency room with their eyes and hands blown up.

This is the hardest possible read

Liberals who buy into red scare propaganda are more embarrassing than the Republicans that do the same shit. The Republicans at least have the threat of their cultural demise, "resist" libs (fence sitters) can only fall back on "but it's icky and makes my Republican friends uncomfortable".

Sometimes I think my difficulty in finding an apartment for grad school is a not so subtle sign that I'm making a huge mistake in going.

Hey man, you need to stop taking my fucking videos, cropping off my handle, splicing it with other clips (which you presumably also stole), and then slapping your name on it. It’s one thing to download my TikTok and post it instead of just sharing here, but we’re hitting lawyer territory here.

oh my GOD this is fucking pathetic

I'm sorry but didn't they explicitly carve out an exception to this for Jesse Singal because the abuse and harassment that they acknowledged took place on his Twitter and Substack? Fuck off man

pour one out for Cassie

Me talking to someone about my housing anxiety this fall "oh yeah it's going shit ass lol" Them: "just room with an undergrad at these 2 bedroom apartments on campus" I'm old as hell. I don't want to live with an undergrad.

hey so surely using an alt account to circumvent people who've blocked your account so you can screencap and post about them so your followers can harass them violates ToS right?

No, Aaron. I get you’re in a tough spot, but I cannot permit you to run from this.

I have no confidence in the current head of moderation of this site's ability to fairly moderate this site.

Why TF does a $460/mnth studio require a co-signer. 🫩 I'm 36 years old just let me live. The hunt for grad school housing continues and it sucks trying to do this from 200+ miles away.

The saddest thing you will see this month and maybe this year

The reason people are "dogpiling" you is because you're making poor, and inconsistent moderation actions. And then you continue to post shit like this, yeah it's gonna get the Streisand effect. You don't seem prepared for how to respond to any of this.

Had Whataburger for the first time. I mean it's a burger. The fries are decent though. Definitely not worth the hype that Texas gives it. 🫩

Me in trump voice: Brentwood has skinny non-bushy tailed squirrels. They are ugly. Sad. Every one of their squirrels has an ED. Real American squirrels are fat and bushy running across a parking lot with a half a cronut.

Discourse about finding "the Rogan of the Left" or "the liberal answer to Fox News" rarely accounts for the reality that the entire conservative media universe is the enormously unprofitable vanity project of a few rich sociopaths. It "succeeds" because they don't care how much it costs.

Instagram is a cesspool of sex predators.

any reason you guys are belatedly explaining your moderation system today

They admit it

Fucking King Edward III out here.

The Virgina capitulation continues to prove that the peoples votes mean jack shit. Your vote does not matter bc the government will override it. It also continues to show dem leadership are weak and feckless.

sorry as a Virginia voter you can’t really ever tell me my vote counts or matters again, so unless your political organization is going door-to-door inviting me to a far-left revolution, I think I’m sorta over pretending democracy is real

The Seed Song

Did leftist not voting for dems also cause Mississippi to not ratify the 13th amendment until 2013?

The unfortunate reality is that MAGA is only a “flare up” manifestation of a deep strain of American fascism.

Well, not for nothing for everyone. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/b...

Give Iran a nuke. Hell give them 5 and let them build more. We, the nation that has used nukes for shits and giggles, should not be the ones telling other people they can't have nukes as insurance.

this is the Jair Bolsonaro of cars

Crony Capitalism is just Capitalism, that's how Capitalism works. You call it Crony Capitalism to support the fantasy that there's a magical "true" capitalism that doesn't murder and exploit people as a load bearing structural feature but Nope! This is it! This is the Capitalism!

Proof that Dems are more than willing to fuck you and everyone you know for the sake of some one sided decorum ass shit.

I introduced me PhD to Daikaiju last night. Mr: "is this...ska?" Me: "worse... But good!" Mr:

$10 says shinyhunters used the exact same exploit they used before bc it wasn't fucking resolved.

These viruses have been known problems in Korea for so long that there’s literally a M*A*S*H episode about them. People work their whole careers on viruses most people have never heard of…so that you never have to hear about them.

Bingo.

Rep. Justin Jones burning a Confederate flag during the special session on Tennessee redistricting Jones: “It’s a form of Jim Crow terror — this is about race. This is about power. This is about silencing communities that have historically been excluded”

This is BAD bad. Instructure has been bragging about their data hoard to investors for years, and now it's been stolen.

This isn't even the first time canvas has been hit. Happened last year too and they swept that under the rug.

Why is no one saying shit about spencer pratt just flat out rewriting his history? That bitch did not live on skidrow.

I would pay good dollars to see a version of Alien from the pov of Jonesy.

"Those people are never satisfied. We gave them the right to vote. Now they want their votes to count." - the Republicans

Obama and other liberals keep saying that they want a "strong GOP". Well, this is what it looks like: a brazen and gleeful rejection of Black people having anything worth respecting or defending and alignment with an openly white nationalist agenda that holds nonwhiteness in contempt.

They just want Jim Crow back so badly.

It's genuinely funny when people claim to be pro-environment but then turn their noses up at reuse and recycling. I nabbed this tempered glass table off the side of the road in a rental apartment neighborhood I have a client in. It's getting far more use in my house than broken in a landfill.

Permanent jewelry people just sound like MLM bots. I do not buy her nearly $1m in sales claim.

Someone told me to make a "registry" kind of thing for my move. Like an Amazon list but folks don't have to buy off Amazon. Friend was like "make the list and I'll just send you money for you to buy that thing or something similar at a different place". 🥲 I am tempted but not sure.
