Harm reduction as the goal still bakes harm into the goal. The goal should be to avoid harm and provide affirmative help.

Wow. Can you believe what America would be like if all us poors got to take months off of work to treat our depression! Fucking L.O.L.

I'd say explain it to me like I'm 5, but it's already the most concise law ever written. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

I've been staring at this for 20 minutes.

Gotta give Thomas Massie his credit, but God damn, don't give that asshole a penny more. There was even a tinge of homophobia to the way he "oWnEd tHaT gUy fRoM fOx nEwS". I beg of you.

This is the most obvious course that states in the southwest U.S. could take. Ex: Texas summers mean walking an extra 500 feet in >100° weather to the grocery store, just to park under a shade tree. Shade + "free" energy = WIN

Spent the weekend with wife's family for a wedding. Friday: Liberal boomer complaining about panhandlers in his small town, fixating on the fact that they don't have a right to make him uncomfortable Saturday: Conservative Christian millennials waving off questions about "feeding the poor"

Choose your fighter

That is literally the official strategy. And it will *probably* work for midterms, but also *probably* get us right back where we are now, and in short order.

Forgive him for misunderstanding, when you fly exclusively on Lolita Express, they don't ask for any ID.

The myChevrolet app is garbage. How tf you're one of the most powerful corporations in the U.S. and your app is booboo?

All of this. Shout out to the instructors too, definitely not the ideal teaching environment.

Some in Dem establishment giving very strong vibe that they are committed to that big band sound and are sure that rock and roll will never catch on.

*Gets elected, lurches to the center, can't get anything done, throws hands up*

Does anyone actually, genuinely, in good faith think that when Zohran Mamdani talks about AIPAC "monsters," he really means "all Jewish people?"

The disease is racism and homophobia. Those are all also symptoms.

Alternative energy is an end run around U.S. energy dominance. The paradigm that the U.S. has operated within and sought to control and curate for the rest of the world for 100+ years is crumbling rapidly. We could not have a worse executive at the helm in this moment. I love this for us.

I'm tired of being around ignorant people.

Sometimes the collective joy we experience via public ridicule *is* the substance. It can be effective. It can be powerful in political battles. Rhetorically, it is powerful. Spiritual Warfare 101.

When a self checkout kiosk asks what type of receipt I want, my Spidey senses have always said, "Print. You don't want to be murdered today." I really wish I was joking, but that's the state of affairs in this country and has been for some decades.

If you've ever wondered what a "corporate democrat" is, here you go.

I shouldn’t be at this point, but I remain surprised by how many peoples politics are simply “Democrats need to win office” without any concern for anything they do or don’t do when they get there

Some of them are just 3 minute long, branded ads for deadly infections of the perineum.

When people say both parties are the same, this is what they mean.

Why? Mutual interests. Mutually assured destruction.

So I was just in Berlin for a few days--what are fantastic city-- and came upon this at one of the museums. Apparently Hitler did the same thing with VW's in 1930s Germany as Trump did with the phone. They're literally is nothing new under the sun.

The U.S. has a hard "floor" for strategic weapons stockpiles and Trump's Dept. of War blew what was left of available munitions after both his & Biden's admin sold or gave significant amounts of weapons to foreign countries (both w/ & w/o consent of Congress) - Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Israel.

Would you say it's pallets of cash?

America gaslitten once again. 😂

INSECURITY JEALOUSY FEAR

If Trump brags about a win, divide the $ by 6. If he floats a price, multiply the $ by 6. If he says something is free or somebody else is going to pay for it, run. You'll be way less surprised by where things eventually land.

Somebody doesn't have access to Google. youtu.be/BIsvP280HnI?...

People who drive with dash cams are the problem.

If you’re not gonna say anything, you really don’t have to go on TV

And a forensic audit.

It’s wild that literally every trillionaire is in the Epstein files

My prediction for this post is nobody ever lost a fight. Certainly nobody with a penis. Bluesky is for g00nZ, everybody knows that.

Doctor's office sent me this (instead of just asking for my copay when I was in the office). This whole system is fucking cooked, and I hate it here.

There's always an implicit threat of violence when it comes to police unions, but especially one as powerful as NYPD. The "or else" attached to every request, issue, or concern.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

See-A-Sucker Day. Found some!

Of the 33 developed nations, 32 have been able to make universal healthcare work, can you guess which country couldn’t? 🇺🇸⚕️☯️

Dude talking to ChatGPT: What is three percent of one thousand eight hundred thirty six dollars and ninety four cents? Dude: *writes that down* Dude: What is one thousand eight hundred thirty six dollars and ninety four cents plus fifty five dollars and eleven cents? Dude: *writes that down*

I just watched a proposal at Little Caesars. Closed the entire app.

For all the public complaining companies did about tariffs, the recipients of the first $24B in corporate tariff refunds have been awfully quiet lately.

The daily food allowance for a member of Congress is more money than a ten hour work day at minimum wage.

As a native Central Texan, I get asked why I wear Rangers and Astros gear. Nolan Ryan is always my answer.

EVs = they’re going to crash the grid!! Data centers = “let’s build 3,000 of them!”

Resource extraction, as a service
