Episode 2 of The Pitt features treatment for an overdose of ED medicine and that is not a fun thing to watch

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Ladies is thumbs too

I'd say tag yourself, but you've already been assigned a persona by a cell phone tracking firm that college football teams are buying data from. www.foiaball.com/p/college-fo...

Holy hell. The description of death row in apartheid South Africa was one of the most harrowing things I've ever read. Also. This guy wasn't fucking around.

My problem is also that we don’t see Dems out there actually trying to shape public opinion. They leave that entirely to the right wing media apparatus.

These meetings, led by Cantor starting in DEC 2008 & McConnell in JAN 2009, have been exceedingly well documented & paved the way for the eventual astroturfed Tea Party wave in the 2010 midterms, allowing the GOP to hypergerrymander 1/2 the states to lock in GOP majorities for going on 2 decades. 5/

But this seems to ignore some rather recent history. Specifically, the first ten days of 2009 when the incoming GOP leaders in Congress decided that rather than recognizing the huge stakes in the financial crisis & the large public support for the agenda Obama campaigned on, they'd just obstruct. 4/

i dunno what you can say to get electeds to do anything if “they flashbanged a baby” doesn’t do it

Every. Damn. Day.

we are going to need to do a whole lot more than just vote but we are still going to need to vote

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem. I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

There's no end to this. What stops a gang of federal thugs from breaking into your house, killing you, and taking your stuff? Declaring you a terrorist after the fact and going home unscathed? Nothing! The state and local governments are declaring their helplessness openly

This seems like misdirection. People want their laws enforced, including laws against assault and murder- laws that are being violated by these federal goons. What he's really saying is the state and local authorities can't do that, which is the real problem

Set list from last night for anyone interested

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

in good news, dem trifectas *can* do good things in states and are doing those things once again in Virginia right now! local elections matter!

OH MY GOD YHIS IS MY HOME COUNTY AND I KNOW THESE ATTORNEYS HAHAHAHAHAHA Alienation of Affection is so Notth Carolina. S has a couple cases she’s working on right now

That's right, although these days there is a regrettable exception to it: if you are being kidnapped by the secret police, you should yell your name at someone recording with a cellphone. You can't rely on "they'll take me to jail" anymore, they might disappear you to a foreign gulag.

It’s been so heartening to see Minnesota come together and fight these guys without giving them the moments they want and I’m certainly not going to get mad at a politician for telling people to not take the bait and keep that up.

Every “rural conservative champion” either lives on 1/4 acre in a subdivision or is a multi millionaire with a hundred thousand acre farm/ranch

Wife scooped a chihuahua type out of traffic and brought it home because *surely* somebody misses this dog! Turns out nobody misses this dog because that was 3 years ago. Yesterday she found her calling. That baby outweighs her by 25lbs and she's going up hill. When does Iditarod registration open?

So I assume Verizon got hacked yesterday, yes? And it took them that long to pay their 8 figure ransom and recover their systems.

This Post-ABC poll result from March 2016, explaining what factors made people more likely to back Trump in the GOP primary that year, was always underappreciated.

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

Oh those motherfuckers we’re scared as hell

Go Canes

Holy shit James O’Keefe was behind the sting? The right wing really is turning on each other

After Speed Trap Town “The Trooper in that song would be an ICE agent if he had lived but I killed that motherfucker”

And I see shit has escalated in Minnesota

Isbell tonight for the first show of his solo tour was great.

3 time MVP and somehow having the best season of his career

I have tried to read these books a couple of times and not been able to get through them, but the stories seem better suited to a show anyway.

Every time I scan in a printed pdf an angel loses its wings

I've been thinking about this a lot. I've read only ONE on-the-ground report from Memphis (and it was a very bleak one that observed an entire city hunkering down in silent fear) since the occupation began over a month ago. Here is that report btw: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Unbelievably, new Georgia Tech running back Justice Haynes is not related to last year’s Georgia Tech running back Jamal Haynes, and of course neither is related to Georgia Tech QB Haynes King bc that is not how names work

(It’s also worth noting that the biggest organizing forces behind this stuff have been a) faith leaders and denominational networks and b) middle-aged and older women. IMHO two of the most pro-social forces in America today.)

So he bruised himself jumping on her car?

Medical procedure or boat building?

If you cannot make “these people are leaving BABIES in CARS in WINTER and then returning them to their carekeepers with BRUISES” into popular sentiment as a politician, you’re either inept or you want this to keep happening.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

This sort of thing drives me bonkers. Women had two major roles: domestic and ceremonial. Oh, and also manufacturing a product that was a load-bearing part of the region's economy, which is totally not a third important thing because it's a fiber and therefore definitionally domestic.

No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1
