there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.

Rancid

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Everything about this murderous military campaign in the Caribbean is wrong. Illegal, immoral, bad strategy, based on lies and nonsensical justifications. We’ve suffered too many deaths from opiate overdoses so we’re going to kill some people far away who may or may not have some cocaine? Insane.

Why is House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries lying on Donald Trump's behalf? The US-Mexico border was not insecure last year and secure this year. That is not true.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

lmao you fucking credulous marks, there are a million fucking skull and crossbones tattoos in the world, there is, like, ONE that is specifically associated with the SS, you fucking rubes

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking. I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

Man, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal

RFK Jr will take away access to lifesaving vaccines from Americans. #Ivax2protect #VaccinesWork #FightFlu #science

His politics are so MURKY

Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.

I know the racism doesn't care and it's not the main point, but Omar has lived in the United States since she was 13, thirty years ago. She became a citizen when she was 17, twenty five years ago. She's an American by law but also just substantively, she's spent her entire adult life as an American.

Federal Government Announces Racial Profiling Campaign, Explains It’s Because of the President’s Personal Bigotry

incredible photos here from a liquor store nearby with an accompanying story. the holiday season has begun here in RVA! (yes the raccoon is okay) www.wric.com/news/weird-n...

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

maybe the internet is okay

Not sure our rescue pig Biggie is ready for Quishmus yet #quishmus

this is great news for all the patriots who shop at costco

The president is a lunatic

day 1 is "penzeys revolution blend" and i cant stop laughing at "we have to GET RID of this lying, cheating, CORRUPT SCUMBAG PRESIDENT!! RESIST! REVOLT! REVOLUTION NOW!! good on roast poultry and carrots"

Oh shit waddup

Walz on Trump calling him the r-word: "We all know both as an educator & parent that using that term is just so damaging. It's hurtful. We have fought 3 decades to get this out of our schools. Kids know better. But this is what Donald Trump has done. He's normalized this type of hateful behavior."

🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI. "Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements" Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.

this is just gutter racism

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

you've tweeted 452k times since december 2013. that's 103 tweets a day. assuming you sleep 8 hours a day, that's a new tweet every ten mins for twelve years. talking about how to attract a high value man. brother, you need to attract a HIGH VALUE JOB

Five years since I originally posted this on the other place. Mad!

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies: If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

Collective, racist punishment.

Nuzzi is like Trump in this sense: the worst thing about America is not that someone that awful exists, the worst thing is that much of the press promotes and normalizes it for clicks.

Sometimes it seems like the world is moving too fast. So we here at OPB wanted to try something: we wanted to see what happens when we take it slow. Really slow. 🐌 Check out OPB’s Slow TV. Now on YouTube

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening. I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again." HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

She was doing everything right (check ins) and ICE kidnaps her and sends her to be tortured. There will be a day of reckoning

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

We are nearly approaching the 10-year anniversary of the Colangelo family Thanksgiving mystery of trying to figure out who ate the bag of gourmet dog treats thinking they were cookies and stashed the wrapper under the couch once they realized their mistake.

And if you were old enough, you were offered fruitcake when you got back to the house. You had to be old enough because the fruitcake was also known as "Grandpa's extra thick rum".

We called to thank said neighbors for pie. They said, "What pie?" Uh oh. Some critter had tried to break into their double-chocolate cream pie overnight as it cooled. Somehow, it fell off the balcony and landed unscathed on the patio, where we ate it, no questions asked. We'd be so easy to kill.
