If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

yeah

today I managed to survive a ddos despite redballing initially and suddenly I understood the story of passover

“These viruses are serious, dangerous, and life-threatening. We are seeing children who are seriously ill, families grieving devastating losses, and hospitals under capacity strain.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/h...

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women

Wrote up my thoughts on all the nonsense replies I've been getting falsely claiming that @schumer.senate.gov can't do anything and I should stop telling him to do more. There's a TON that he can do, as I outline in the piece. And he's doing basically none of it.

We don't have the disability education infrastructure to support a growing number of kids who are going to be disabled because their parents didn't get them vaccines against illnesses that can lead to the development of disabilities.

Chuck Schumer rejecting out of hand the one point of leverage he has, the one that was actually working really well last year until he caved, is the most Chuck Schumer he can be. spectrumlocalnews.com/mo/st-louis/...

this is the second most insulting package i have ever read in my life. fuck you, ritz. who do you take me for? i will house a sleeve in one sitting or not at all

I broke a rib coughing in my sleep

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

So Trump successfully bullied a good man and his family. Because winning over Harris Walz wasn’t enough. Trump wanted to destroy him. Walz is making the right decision for his family. But the success of Trump’s grotesque bullying campaign is yet another frightening step in our national descent.

i don't know what to do about a system where people in power believe the antisemitic CSAM generator is too important of a platform to leave because the worst pundits on earth think the platform signals something about free speech

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear

Cassidy is responsible for all the sickness and death that RFK Jr inflicts on the American people.

Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.

Microsoft is so fucking stupid. Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App I'm not joking

sometimes i get an idea and have no choice but to follow it to its conclusion

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

Wuk Lamat would be fun in fandom, just innocently and unintentionally ragebaiting everyone every day #FFXIV

We had a good run

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why. I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

i can confirm this is the funniest and best way to do the doomtrain fight (biggie smalls remix ofc for peak)

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

Impeachment is not enough. We've played this game before, he WAS impeached, he needs to go to prison There needs to be justice for Venezuelans, for people kidnapped by ICE, for people losing health care, for the trans community, for Epstein victims and everyone tormented by his existence daily

I just don't even know what to do with current events so I'm going to eat a big edible and try to get myself to stop scrolling

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.” Photos from Trump’s Truth Social account.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.
