Because white folks in this nation (not you, Rachel, you rock) just wont recon with the fact that they benefit from white supremacy thus want to keep it in place. They'll avoid talking about it precisely for that reason.

Maybe Americans shouldn't have voted for that dumb shit "to own the libz" or "for the lulz" or whatever stupid reason drove the nation to electing the decaying orange mass of wasted space. It turns out that people love to fuck around but hate to find out.

I'm pretty sure the GOP never really cared about corruption. All that talk about Democratic corruption and not one peep about Trump. It was always just a cudgel to win power from Democrats.

Kamala Harris had a more progressive voting record in the Senate than Bernie Sanders. If you’re acting like her talking about progressive priorities is hypocritical or a flip flop, you just don’t know her. This who she’s always been.

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

Okay, everybody, here's a lesson in economics. Pepsi was charging $7 a bag for Doritos, and people decided they were not paying it. That cost PepsiCo billions. .They will continue to Jack up prices based on what you are willing to pay. Stop paying it, stop buying it. It doesn't matter what it is.

To the Dems who insist that they must play by the rules or else risk becoming just like the GOP: how many successful prosecutions of mafia bosses were there before RICO laws were enacted? Sometimes you must change the rules in order to be successful playing by them.

But the Roberts Court claims racism is gone from the US:

I feel like America is heading the wrong way for all of the wrong reasons, and the only reason people wont stand up to stop it is their inherent racism keeping them from wanting progress for ALL people because it might include SOME people.

Politicians say they have “national security concerns.” In fact, Chinese cars are better and cheaper, and American corporations know they can’t survive market competition. www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-the...

if I were the governor of Colorado I would simply not pardon an attempted election thief for no reason whatsoever

So one way to prevent yourself from eating Oreos everyday is to just eat all of them at once and get it over with.

Imagine having to get towed out by a minivan...🤣🤣

Good evening

Rand Paul can shutdown the Senate if he sees a TikTok about a black woman receiving SNAP benefits but @schumer.senate.gov won’t do 💩 when Trump’s getting $10B from the IRS. Democrats need new leadership not wankers like Chuck.

There's an awfully small amount of people creating a lot of problems for the rest of us. Numbers game, something something, guillotine, mumble mumble.

If you love displaying Confederate flags, want to name military bases after Confederate generals, and oppose teaching kids about slavery, the civil war, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement because it might make white kids uncomfortable, you don't get to call your party "The Party of Lincoln."

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

Australia, I see you guys. You guys put out some pretty sick bands. Y'all, don't sleep on Iconoclast.

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

It’s weird to me how people clamor over President Obama any time he speaks now and say ‘I miss having a President who speaks in complete sentences’ and other related things but somehow dismiss that the choice was there for someone else just like that in VP Harris

People at work are willing to disparage this administration openly. A workplace that historically, hasn't really had a lot of political conversation.

I am so sick of seeing the very worst people in our country just absolutely thriving.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

We think that the government and institutions are being a little "heavy handed" with their plans to deepen the hold fascism has on our country. But most of the country can't even see it! Therein lies the issue; for at least 50 years, republicans have been rewarded for generally being pieces of shit

“The feeling inside the program was that Netanyahu had effectively gone around Stahl and the “60 Minutes” team—and that Weiss had assisted him in doing so by finding an interviewer who was, for whatever reason, more agreeable to him.” www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Fuckin told you to vote for Kamala Devi Harris, you bipedal dunce caps.

America didn’t turn shitty because he became President. He became President because America was already this shitty. That’s the uncomfortable truth that nobody wants to admit.

Reconstruction failed so anti-Black fascism could rise. The 100+ year effort to return to the 1850s has finally planned out for them. But we hung confederates once. Wishing for a time where we'll hang them again. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but one day, their necks will snap.

Lmao, cool cool cool. The competency of this administration is below the floor. Fired to be re-nominated. What a blunder. If any senator has sense, they will reject his bid on the grounds that he was already removed from the job once!

a lot of people blink for 19 seconds *not altered

Hey, Ken Paxton, I got a couple of good tech companies you can go after for actually scooping up customer data (and selling it, too). Get real; what is this suit really about? Hmm?

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.

Yet another consequence of Citizens United. Can we please do away with money in politics so foreign governments can stop pulling crap like this within our borders? What happened to American sovereignty? I thought that was the point of all this immigration crackdown bullshit...

You hear that, @fetterman.senate.gov? We're done with it.

Is the new American dream the privilege and ability to leave the US?

Incredible community note.

ICE must be destroyed.

I'm not sure how the Supreme Court reasons that black voter turnout is higher than white voter turnout, when we're still a "minority population" but alright lmao. Devaluing American law degrees one stupid decision after another, I guess. The jurisprudence here is just awful.

As a guy who listens to a lot of European metal, it's kinda sad that my opportunities of going to shows drop because of our country's politics. Bands barely play in my city, and European bands are decreasingly booking shows in the country. Yet another thing this stupid administration has ruined.

I've been rallying against giving Republicans any credit for doing the bare minimum. Democrats are expected to act above super human, and when they act just saintly, they're criticized. Republicans don't do the criminal thing and everyone jerks themselves off congratulating them.
