Artificial intelligence is a good thing. Population decline is a good thing. Less work is a good thing. The reason it's a problem is because we built our world on a foundation of greed.

Just learned Iran might be intentionally dumping oil in the gulf because their storage is full and they can't stop pumping. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/c...

The Talarico vs Paxton race is the latest installment of Democrats hoping they can win statewide in Texas. I'll believe it when I see it.

Soldiers: willing to literally die to defend an idea they believe in. Heroes. Republicans: unwilling to lose their seat to protect our country. Cowards.

Fantastic overview. The CA high speed rail project is like a case study of what happens when you try to please everyone.

Sad moment just now. Checking the news next to my partner when I saw the national mall shooting. I don't know any info yet and decided not to say anything to her. Could be just another shooting after all. 🤷‍♂️

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

This chart is astounding. It's like a distilled vision of what good faith vs bad faith represents.

Just to recap, Trump is trying to settle a case between his personal self and the DOJ which he controls. ...to give himself 10 billion dollars of taxpayer money. Impeachable offense #1004.

The supreme court saying we've moved on from racism is a hell of a take given our current white supremacist administration.

I have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said

If there is an economic collapse and prosperity in America is jeopardized because of Trump's actions, there needs to be consequences for the people who enabled him and allowed it to happen. The failure of the Republican party to impeach him in 2021 is unforgivable.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

We live in a world where Trump can post this, but James Comey apparently gets indicted for laying out some seashells saying 8647 and then apologizing and deleting the image.

Leftists often say lesser evil voting doesn't work. The ignorant masses need something to vote for they say. But here's the thing... I'm talking to YOU. 🫵 You, the intelligent, well informed, politically engaged, policy details aware, third party voter. YOU have to vote for the lesser evil.

I don't want to watch the Trump show anymore.

I hate Trump as much as the next guy. But the last thing I want to see is him getting assassinated. He will go down as a martyr, and his status will be elevated to a Christ like figure amongst a certain portion of the American public. I want him in jail, not dead.

So sad to see the fake photo of Trump sleeping on social media the last few days. Truth matters.

The reason gas is expensive today is because Trump started a war of choice to distract from the fact that he's a pedophile.

This is good news. Trump: "Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it? No, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody."

Leftists seem to have no problem seeing the danger of Christian conservatives in the US. But for some reason they are blind to the mirror image of Muslim conservatives in the ME. Once we realize that they are all conservative we can begin to take power away from all of them. By voting.

The left fundamentally does not understand how antisemitism still exists today. They view Israel through the lens of a stable, pluralistic democracy, without acknowledging that that's not how the middle east works. We cannot allow a second Holocaust to occur.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Republicans complaining about gerrymandering are funny. Trump tried to stay in power after he lost an election. Please don't pretend you care about democracy when the leader of your party clearly does not.

I feel like it's asking a lot for us to forgive Trump voters. "Hey, I know you lit my house on fire, but we have to live together and I forgive you. Let's work together going forward." Kinda scratching my head over that request.

People who advocate for ranked choice voting need to acknowledge that they would have put Clinton above Trump first.

What part of deporting labor, raising tariffs, and starting a war with Iran was supposed to help the cost of living?

It's happening right before our eyes as we speak.

What the #TechBros and the #GOP (and their #CorporateOverlords) don’t seem to comprehend or understand…

If people haven't learned by now that not participating in the general election is off the table, then we're truly finished. You have to vote.

Saw this as a pro-Trump post. It's such a great encapsulation of the times. Republicans get into office and destroy the economy, and hand it off to Democrats to fix who get blamed for it. Rinse and repeat.

"Trump's not conservative" Oh no you don't. No no no no no. I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that. But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.

😂

Leftists will unironically say they won't compromise on their beliefs, and then tell you to compromise on yours.

Trump is the result of introducing boomers to the internet. But you're not immune either. If you saw nothing but positive coverage of Sanders, and only negative coverage of Clinton... If you saw endless tiktoks of Palestinian suffering and nothing about Oct 7th or Sudan... You are being lied to.

Conservatives love to repeat the "weak men create hard times" mantra, not realizing they're holding a mirror. Their inability to discern obvious propaganda. Jumping into bed with a madman because they're scared of immigrants. Their tough exterior protecting a weak core only amplifies the tragedy.

Everything’s fine. #IranWar

I saw a conservative take today that liberals are upset that the 2nd airman was rescued in Iran. 1) Not true 2) To the extent that these people do exist, they're an extreme minority 3) It's another example of the internet amplifying minority opinions 4) Conservatives love their bubble

Hell yes. Excellent news. Sounds like this was an insane operation.

trumpism is what a genuinely american nazism would look like

Trump launches a war in Iran with no plan, and they predictably close the Strait of Hormuz spiking gas prices. Republicans: This is Newsom's fault. They are beyond lost.

The founders, concerned about a tyrant taking over the government, create the electoral college, the senate, impeachment, separation of powers, and the damn 2nd amendment just in case. Republicans:

Republicans can end this any time they want to. The issue of this era is a broken congress. Unable to protect themselves from moneyed interests or a new media ecosystem. Unable to pass needed reforms, relying on the executive and judiciary to do congress' job. Unable to put country above party.

What a waste of our potential. At some point we need to learn how to live together in peace.

Powerful 💥 "No Kings" protesters assembled to form a message reading "TRUMP MUST GO NOW!" at Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

The Epstein transparency act is funny. Trump basically said no no no, oh wait I control the DOJ pass whatever the hell you want.

Republicans be like, "we can't impeach Trump because he's the only thing holding our party together". My brothers, if Trump is what's holding you together, then you deserve to fail.
