Media selling LA as rich spoiled people to the gen pop is so funny. That's a tiny tiny percentage of this town. Most of LA is the people you see being disappeared. LA has the largest clothing manufacturing hub in the country and it ain't staffed by the likes of Brad Pitt and George Clooney.

Annual reminder that King didn't say *people* should be judged by their character rather than their skin. He said he dreamed of a future day when *his children* would live in such a state, while observing they did not; that U.S. had never delivered on its founding promises.

so if a synagogue is hosting a meeting of zionists planning on the sale of stolen palestinian land and people protest outside that meeting don't fall into the trap of calling that 'people shouting pro-hamas slogans at a synagogue.'

if the klan were holding a meeting at a church everyone on 'the left' would recognize it was stupid to call that 'anti-christian' to protest that meeting. we need to stop offering that protection to synagogues.

if there is a meeting of zionists somewhere, be it a synagogue or a community center or any other place that claims the protection of being a 'jewish space' than it loses that protection and becomes a political one. we should treat zionists no different than christian nationalists.

Pro-tip: if you reduce your circle to only people who have ever asked a sincere question of you that expresses any curiosity about you at all, you will have fewer friends but also better sleep.

The "elite" Democrats of the last forty or so years all convinced themselves of the inescapable power of capitalism. They use it to empower America, and they're sad when their constituents are consumed by it, but they serve capital and America, not us. They're maudlin nationalists.

Reading that profile of Bari Weiss and it's truly remarkable how utterly banal and vapid her ideas are. She is right-wing and yet fetishizes appearing centrist and maybe even believes that. The fact that many think she is worth listening to is a damning indictment of this country

Meanwhile their Instagram account is still up and full of supportive comments. Begs the question, why be on Twitter any more in the first place? What audience are you realistically reaching and at what price?

Incredible. The Border Patrol recruiter literally filled in every part of the resume for her, including having AI write the resume.

So in the end, what does this article amount to? Republicans are telling the same lie about welfare that they've told for 40 years despite consistent efforts — including many led by Democrats — to restrict and police it. And in response, Democrats should restrict and police it even more.

In Minnesota, Democrats are unraveling our disability services system by imposing AI-driven payment waiting periods so that small businesses can't keep providing services to disabled Minnesotans. Currently it's non-emergency medical transport that's collapsing. All in the name of fighting fraud.

Home Assistant is free and powerful. Reolink are quality cameras and doorbell cams that don't require an internet connection and can stream solely to your own private HA server, which can then be locked down and viewed remotely from its app. Get rid of Ring.

yeah it was pretty cool watching the beaver make that dam, but I’ll bet it’s even more awesome watching him undo all his work later, in the night, as he slowly undresses the river so he can have his way with it

I didn't think I'd get to use this as a reaction image but here we are

This must hit so good if you’re stupid

I’m sorry I’m not single-handedly overthrowing the government. It’s just that I don’t own any weapons and I have a “thing” about dying. I go to the protests and do my best to help others but the people “on my side” have spent my entire life giving tanks to racist cops. They made video games about it

what if it was martin liuther kang and instead of nonviolence he practiced biting people's torsos off in his dragon form

Lol

Getting into a poster war with Ganz is like the Yamato trying to attack the American fleet at Okinawa in ‘45

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

I think every country has every right to be anti-American but at the same time if you’re tut-tutting that Americans aren’t doing enough to overthrow their government while your own government is happily facilitating and supporting what the US is doing…maybe also do something about that?

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

it’s just so crazy to see it happen in real time

Today would be a great day for It to happen And I think that’s gonna be pretty much every day going forward until it does

On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Dr. King’s work was never finished. It was interrupted.

we're actually living in a cyberpunk buddy comedy anime about a gay psychopath who's really into lord of the rings and his autistic nazi friend with a breeding fetish who's really into rockets. there's a bald man who's their less cool pickme friend. everyone else is a foil

You didn't name the horse during that entire trip through the desert? Is this a joke to you

He was the guy dispatched to say stuff like this when CBP turned away asylum seekers: www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2023/05/20/u...

per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”

Steven Meiner is the mayor of Miami Beach. He left the Securities and Exchange Commission due to sexual misconduct allegations. The woman who made the comment should sue the city.

Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account. What the fuck are we doing here?

Gavin Newsom would have put down the Bell Riots with tanks and napalm I can tell you that much kimatv.com/news/nation-...

we have never had to share society with these men. we can never put anyone’s humanity up for debate to accommodate these depraved and lawless men in our society—we can’t have a civil society where the extent of democracy is a referendum on the humanity of women, children, and immigrants.

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike! Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

For the occasion: the first page of the Church Committee Report’s study of FBI harassment, surveillance, and sabotage of Martin Luther King Jr.

COW TOOLS COW TOOLS COW TOOLS

Trump trying to start a weird stupid war no one wants out of spite because he's mad about not getting a Nobel Peace Prize is dead center "gag you would leave in drafts because it is both too obvious and not funny." Obviously this is all bad but it is also just incredibly hack. What a way to go.

"I wish Donald Trump were 'pining for the fjords'" *monkey paw finger curls*

"What if the Jerky Boys were Nazis and running the US Government"

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

Martin Luther King, Jr. National favorable rating via Gallup: AUGUST 1966: 33% 👍 to 63% 👎 AUGUST 2011: 94% 👍 to 4% 👎

I think it elucidates history. There’s a reason why MLK was warning everyone about the moderate white liberal, & it’s not because their ideology is an emancipatory one, but because it’s one that’s very tepid incrementalism toward justice & emancipation at the expense of the marginalized.

1️⃣ He didn't say that. 2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him. 3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling. 4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it. 5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented. 6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.
