The beatings WILL continue until morale improves... but for justice, lol.

I have been wondering if Trump's ogre-ish behavior had an unintended consequence. Because for years, mainline Dems have treated Corporations as unshakeable, unavoidable stakeholders. They could only do so much, be so progressive and that was just political realism

Is Brandon Johnson a good mayor? It seemed like his term started shaky but then I just stopped hearing about him altogether. Did he find his stride?

“you’re a world historic mass murderer” is getting to him, huh maybe he shouldn’t have chosen to be a world historic mass murderer

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

So why isn't this whipped dog calling for Maga to moderate? Even by his logic, this is a reaction to them.

This is a very interesting read grounded in history. www.theguardian.com/inequality/n...

I like rot. To burn chances you might feel a little comfort from the flame, even momentarily. Nah, no respite for you bastard.

The good thing about ol' Charlie is all his takes are hot now.

they are both speaking gibberish

Someone help me out, how does being aware of how the structures of the state produce and reify anti-black racism have anything to do with that clip?

For many of us, decades of relentless Conservative media propaganda and lies, and the bigots and imbeciles of the Republican base making one horrendous, catastrophic choice after another hasn't confused us or made doubt what is true and what isn't. Quite the opposite...

He's a real life Bond villain.

There's a Democratic Senator who is an ordained minister

Heh

no it isn't. them sending the money is why you can have that stance.

I remember there were a group of people advocating taking money from police. They got yelled at for being impractical. Maybe they had a point, idk.

We should shame these people but they don't care about science so just lie. "If everyone thought like you we wouldn't have dogs for pets."

Neat

... so what role do Gazans play in this scenario? Idiot.

“The restoration of "the natural order" – in which the dominance of white people in America is preserved and protected – requires ruining the economy.” 1000x’s this.

Maybe the guy who let neoconfederates steal a SCOTUS seat from him should sit this one out.

I wasn't alive for it, but Japanese car makers were supposed to doom the us auto industry, too. They could survive it, it'd likely take subsidies from us gov. or maybe they can't and some new us firms would fill the gap. they are/were ossified by choice drunk off short term thinking.

There was a quote that said something like Black people worship a Jesus who knows what it's like to be lynched, while white people worship a Jesus who will forgive them for being part of a lynch mob.

There is no woke culture.

Matty should have been beat up more as a kid. Some bully really let the nation down. Little brat.

Yep. In fact, we are so racist that I've rarely if ever seen a nonblack person engage with why dems do so well with black voters that isn't Republicans are just too racist. We aren't treated as having political acumen or really anything worth replicating

If anyone wants to do a reading group on Black Reconstruction America I have a schedule from when we did it in 2017.

What I find mildly interesting is the Saudis could have still gotten a little cream, there are enough centrist dems for that. But it’d be like the return on an index fund. Slow but reliable. They wanted to double their money so bet on a failed casino owner.

Black men don’t have a nazi phase.

OMG so much this 👇. SCOTUS is lawless. It has become an existential threat to the rule of law. Full stop.

More than anything the next dem president is going to have to get comfortable wielding power in ways they may bristle at. And “do you get it” might be the most important criterion for selection. Biden didn’t get it.

A majority of black male voters vote for democrats. When white people are talking amongst themselves I wish they could be honest about it.

when people say the bush's werent so bad in contrast to trump, remember that they collectively brought us thomas, alito and roberts.

opposing expanding the court was always dumb. its extra dumb after days like this.

the goal of the gop is to restore white supremacy and prevent non white people from gaining political power.

Parents: we hate the tech Teachers: we hate the tech Local admin: we hate the tech Tech companies: here’s lots of tech! Media: whoa so much cool tech Politicians: thanks for the donation let’s get tech in schools!

jamelle bouie calling JD Vance a little pig man will never not be funny.

Nathan Rabin, back when AVClub was good, had a piece comparing RG with Revenge of the Nerds. We would have been so much better if "nerd culture" reflected RG, where people were smart but didn't let it define them nor excuse being an asshole misanthrope.

some people really challenge my belief in humane justice.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

I strongly disagree with this

The person Matt quoted made me want to yell at them. Or hit them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper because no Marx fucking did not want that!

If you can't tell that five minutes after he's sworn in this guy is going to be standing next to Josh Hawley talking about how president trump is right on immigration and heroically fighting to save America from the Mud Races, I don't know what to say other than "You are not very perceptive."

I wish people would say white people when they mean white people instead of universalizing something we know isn't universal.

In both 2000 and 2016 the Dem won the popular vote. That means the party had sixteen years to put some back into institutional reforms and didn't. At a certain point, if you don't fight against the rigged game you aren't a mark but a mug and lefties don't have to shoulder the blame for your loses.

I love popcorn and berries. Everything is coming up Milhouse!

It's Jim Crow 2.0 resonates with me but I have family that suffered under the first version.

crime, like cinnamon rolls, is socially constructed. become ungovernable
