Holds up

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

next d president has to promise to reappoint Lina Khan and give her literally everything.

it’s so funny that the only thing ben shapiro ever wanted to do was write and produce movies and the closest he will get to the dream is churning out slop for the chuds

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

It's the best day of the year! New @climatetown.bsky.social!!

Just adding to the 2028 Dem platform: We also want to pull the non-profit status of every Trump-endorsing anti-LGBT church, going back retroactively 10 years (they've all been endorsing candidates since at least 2016), thereby instantly bankrupting them with an enormous tax bill. 🙏

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

The secret to higher birth rates? Vigorously opposing authoritarianism

Kat Abughazaleh on funding Israel's iron dome "Defensive weaponry is an oxymoron. Weapons are inherently offensive." "Would you support Iron Dome?" "No, we need to condition all aid to any country. We should be supporting our allies but they have to follow our own laws first."

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Me, reading pro-datacenter arguments: "That's just a list of reasons they need to be burnt to the ground though."

I'm aware of their history, but my take is that Jeeps are fascism-coded. In the year 2026, only Nazis drive Jeeps.

So excited for Warped Tour I love punk rock

This guy gets it.

Peter Mandelson has been arrested - send up the hater signal. It's once again a poster's holiday.

File this under no shit

What if all those years of life were not just an investment in capital growth but were actually the entire point of all of it, what then.

This creep's entire line of thought here is eugenicist trash. People are PEOPLE. You don't measure their value by energy consumption. They have inherent value as HUMAN BEINGS. A fucking LLM has no inherent human value. You cannot compare them.

this is a perfect illustration of the three kinds of democrats (kat is the rarest kind)

still remember the "it's too early/hyperbolic/irresponsible to compare these guys to Nazi Germany" Reasonable Posters - whom, I imagine, are waiting for the renovations to be completed before they update their priors

It also means they aren't being honest, to themselves and with us. And the last thing we need right now is dishonest people.

Sounds rough! I avoid this ever happening to me with One Weird Trick

It’s sad how gadget biased the idea of innovation is. Like MRNA vaccines and ozempic and sickle cell treatments and aids treatments and electric cars and solar panels, these must all pale in comparison to da phone robot that talks

A finger, sure sure.

They said it. We’re all thinking it.

🤘

We go a little too far with empathy sometimes. This woman is stupid, being stupid made her a bad mother, and being a bad mother may kill her kid. She should be told this.

the only convincing argument for the continuation of capitalism is "capitalism is really hard to get rid of" no one who *likes* it has a good argument, any real debate comes down to "is what comes next worth what it would cost to get rid of capitalism?"

Personally, I think it’s bad that a wildly corrupt pedophile with dementia is President of the United States and is trying to make himself dictator for life.

Now, one can choose to take that to mean they do not have our best interests at heart and, ergo, are the same as the GOP. I think in some ways this can be true! And yet, the GOP is literally full of fascists. That's way more of a problem to me and I feel should be to everyone.

so genuinely: uh, what was Merrick Garland doing with the Epstein files, given uh, it's brought down a royal and multiple Euro politicians/

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

it's been our Achilles heel since Nixon. it's time, America is more than ready to see a former president in handcuffs by now

Also, that fire was set by a nazi...

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

Lol. Lmao.

Hmm. Turns out the evil and the lesser evil people have evil solidarity. Drat

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

no one wants moderates and yet the party insists on pushing people who yap about finding a middle way on culture war nonsense and the price of eggs. throw them all out

As someone who did vote during this ICE bullshit, so many were motivated to vote because of a) ICE bullshit and b) the Republican candidate texting us to “stop fraud,” that everyone went out of their way to vote an already non-competitive race. The Democratic candidate put up Kim Jung-Un numbers.

That bubble is getting ready to pop

it's pretty rare for a politician to violate core promises this directly and extravagantly. that's because it's bad politics! Fetterman's approval among D voters has cratered because he promised them he wouldn't do exactly what he's doing.

When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism. A few suggestions...

Liberals refuse to accept that trump can only do what he does because the dems built the tools for him to do it with, because that would mean criticism of them is unquestionably morally justified
