another blue origin rocket launch approval coming up jeff?

Real question: the fuck do you guys think the word meant before

Man what the fuck is wrong with everyone. Every day I'm more convinced the reason we're fucked is that normies don't want to run for anything and the people who do want to run are power hungry psychos that want to enact some racist or misogynist agenda. This isn't about Maine but I guess it kinda is

I appreciate Barney Frank’s legacy as an out gay politician when it was very difficult to do that. I just wish he’d have used his empathy to understand that trans people are fighting the same fight, rather than using his last breath to throw them under the bus

“Taxing me won’t help teachers,” says a man who has never lifted a finger to help teachers in his life.

Reason number billionty we don't have to forgive MTG - She's an anti-vaxxer now!

"Republicans blocked a law to keep your taxpayer money from going to convicted pedophiles"

Obviously only a moron would believe this, but… yeah a lot of right-wingers I know think that they appreciate nature more. Because their perception of masculinity is worshipping self-sufficiency and freedom and power over everything they can see. They love the aesthetic of camping, fishing, logging

This really does need to be the platform, alongside "this entire admin is illegitimate and every EO, every signed bill, and every pardon will be nullified on day one."

trying to overturn a free and fair election is, in a real democracy, one of the most serious crimes there is nine years is a light sentence for what she did

At this point, journalists who still persist in declining to talk about racism and cruelty as key GOP motivators are essentially colluding in writing fiction about the present state of politics and of the country.

us administration official #1: “how are we gonna justify the collective punishment of 10 million people?” us administration official #2: “i have the perfect idea”

I have been very good lately and I deserve a remake of Jason and the Argonauts starring Jason Mantzoukas

Public broadcaster that had all their federal funding cut for purely political reasons wonders whether or not they live in an authoritarian state

the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women

I am going to be 90 years old, in a nursing home, having forgotten my own name and this fucking pattern will still trigger in my brain

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

no movie has captured the vibe of living through this era of american history better imo. the crush of pessimism, the uncertain future. maybe children of men.

14000 people on this site thought this was a great observation and we still ask if navel gazing is a partisan affair

I'm a big Springsteen fan and the idea that he is somehow the musical vanguard against fascism by himself is hilarious, does the name Chappell Roan ring any bells?

Bad Bunny and the rest have been doing this and getting attacked all over the place for years now, y'all just don't care until the person doing it looks like the Boss

The media pushed Biden out for confusing the names of Zelenskyy and Putin at a press conference just like this, they called every notable Democrat in their contacts to ask “should he drop out,” but when Trump does it they say the president has strong views on the success of his recent meeting

Good. I'm glad. Maybe someone at the state level should have explored the whole not paying fed taxes and holding them in escrow long ago. The government is not holding up their end of the deal with the union, so. The treasury is his personal bank account. Literally left England because of this

If someone put Nico in one of these boxes I might … well, I might be denied bail after. The idea makes me hurt. If you live in NY, you better call your representatives, or I don’t even know you. www.npr.org/2026/05/14/n...

if you walk up to an executive and say the word "AI" these days, they say yes before you've finished your sentence

FYI: That image being shared around, the one where the government is trying to define trans people as terrorists? It's been edited. The stuff is all in there, yes, but two paragraphs have been put together to make it look as scary as possible. THIS IS EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE, DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS

submit requests to the oregon department of fuck you, make me

why do american reactionaries have to be all “no rights for minorities” instead of “drone strike spam call centers”

Look at my opposition party dawg. This is so irretrievably stupid and weak

Hard to not be cynical and think “huh, this exclusively Israeli report about Oct 7th sure is released close to that story in the NYT about IDF/settlers/Shin Bet interrogators systemic rape of Palestinians”

no you dipshits college is killing college. Getting a degree costs way too fucking much and the odds your field gets eliminated upon graduation look way too high rn

My heart breaks for the student, a 19-year old trans woman; for her family; for the LGBTQIA+ community at UW; and for all affected by this horrific loss. Trans people deserve to live without fear, free from the rhetoric and actions that fuel this kind of violence. She deserved so much better.

Of course there can't be a Palestine. Only Palestinians. And of course the opposite of being in favor of... well, people, is supporting a state that dehumanizes them. But just stop all the rapes, because it looks ugly to us

Enlightening dichotomy of "pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian"

I mean a previous House candidate for the Oregon 4th used to ask people to mail him urine, for science. All the sane(ish) republicans stuck to running for state legislation so all that’s left for the bigger elections is the freaks.

The rule appears to be that redistricting is always legal when it benefits Republicans and never legal when it benefits Democrats.

Honestly we shouldn't even waste time responding to vapid buffoons. Of course 10 year olds can appreciate art that's 30 years old. 10 years olds can appreciate art that's 100s of years old. 1000s even. All humans can. It's what art is fucking for. Communicating across space and time.

Slightly increase a band: The Current Pornographers

Do you all understand what we've lost, culturally, to climate change?

I hope she is sitting in her mold castle having just the worst day because of this

The collective left needs to be more vengeful This isn’t some reactionary statement This is a well researched position They’re beating us by relying on our willingness to follow the intent of the law instead of the letter of it, and to try to be fair Fuck fair Don’t be fair to Nazis Ruin them

It is absolutely demoralizing to be ruled over by people jingling keys for the ~30% of the population with peasant tendencies who believe this bullshit

Look at my opposition leader dawg

thats because he has cosplayed being Howard Hughes in public for about 30 years now. he wishes he was Howard Hughes so badly he wants you to believe he is. But he's neither a great engineer nor a true eccentric- just a sad pathetic little man desperate not to be who he is and failing every day

Harris stans would be easier to tolerate if they didn’t act like her campaign was fine. She chased moderate republicans while ignoring progressive values and the result is inflicting harm. She ran a badly advised campaign on a short time limit because no one was willing to tell Biden to sit down.

Put another way, gutting the Voting Rights Act was to gut Black representation in the government. Proposed solutions that don’t center that representation aren’t really getting at the problem at hand.

Not an isolated incident @thetnholler.bsky.social stole a video I took of ICE officers mooning a Minnesota crowd several months ago. Never responded to DMs, never responded to comments asking them to credit. I self-funded that trip and shot that video in -10 degree weather Fuck those guys
