It is WILD watching elites actively dismantle institutions and undermine our entire creative economy in favor of an overhyped grift and actually expecting everyone to not just sit down and take it, but be excited about it. Absolutely delusional.

And I don’t just mean an opposition that loses elections. I mean an opposition that loses even when it wins elections—that cedes ground narratively and on policy; that is so cowed, agenda items from presidents decades ago are now treated as radical ideas; that polices its own side to thwart change.

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

And now are we to understand that he has 1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars to pay off the insurrectionists who only violated the law at his behest? This is a most preposterous story and therefore must be fiction. For it were fact, it would indicate a government-ending lawlessness.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

It's very frustrating living in a country where the Republicans are given a free pass by the courts and by the media to do whatever deranged dangerous bugfuck batshit they want, but when Democrats make any change at all, the media hamstrings them and then the courts brain them with a cinder block.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

Definitely sounded better in the original German

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

They think you’re stupid.

i’m sure people who’ve worked with Bryant Rousseau have stories. message me on signal if you’d like to share any :)

NEW—Video shared w me by a witness shows another angle of NYPD officer throwing a protester to the ground during an anti-ICE protest outside Wyckoff Medical Center in the early hours of Sunday morning + has helped identify the officer. His name is Hubert Mohamed, The Handbasket is first to report:

Teachers: "Please help us get AI out of schools, it's ruining education!" Students: "Please don't make us use AI, it's ruining our lives!" Politicians: "We hear you and we want to help you harness the power of AI." #NihilismAndTechnology

He Is Stoned United States, Native American, Census Rolls, 1885-1940

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Happy Tax Day! You're paying a Big Tax Prep company like TurboTax to do your taxes because the Trump admin gutted the free and easy IRS tax filing tool DirectFile. Meanwhile, 88 corporations with $105B in profits paid zero in federal income tax. The system is rigged

Democrats need to be running on trying to get enough seats to impeach Trump.

This is a remarkably honest, if brazen, admission of baronial behavior by one of the highest-ranking barons—ie, not a “bad apple” (🙄 at that term anyway), but someone repeatedly promoted and rewarded and thus put in charge of setting the culture.

Cuellar has never met a notorious list he didn’t want to be on

Unlike Suozzi, I don't take Corporate PAC money, I am not a multimillionaire, and I haven't been quietly profiting off of Palantir stock. If you can, please donate to my campaign. We don't have to buy into the self-fulfilling prophecy that reelecting mediocre enablers is the best we can do.

the same number of troops have died in this war that died in the evacuation of afghanistan fyi, weird how the media has decided that isn’t a point to drive home this time

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

The only reason good reporting like this was able to reach the masses is due to those higher up thinking it would demoralize and splinter labor movements. Demoralize and splinter civil rights movements. And demoralize Latinos wanting recognition of their contributions to this country.

This entire thread is magnificent and you really should watch every video in every post

Still up on the official White House website: www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

You can just say things.

The President singled out racial minorities as the source of fraud in the United States and the first line in recaps is “he stayed focused on the economy“ lol

Patrick Bateman wants to be a Republican so bad.

If we've learned anything from the part of our history where we created the extremely powerful, world-changing, uncontrollable new technology of a social internet, it should be that whatever is about to happen with AI will, if nothing else, be extremely dumb.

The Democratic Party will either be taken over by leftists with no relationship to corporate donors, a desire to fight fascism, and a relationship with the base or there will be a new party altogether. That’s the situation and the party apparatchik who think otherwise are fooling themselves.

If Bad Bunny was serious about uniting Americans, he would have given his Grammy to Donald Trump.

Minneapolis residents are facing a growing food crisis. Fear from ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from groceries. Feed Minneapolis funds trusted local food shelves and kitchens, with a goal of feeding 10,000 people in 2 weeks. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fe...

Look at that face? Come on some place at least foster this love bug until she finds her forever home!

In my wildest dreams I could never have imagined a more gratuitous sign that AI is a bubble than “chance the rapper, sponsored by coreweave.” It’s beautiful. It’ll be in a movie someday

if anyone here tries to use one of these TrumpRx coupons at a pharmacy, please let me know how it goes……..

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Let's send him to Prison and use all of his money for public transportation

So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

Builder isn’t on dateline but he will be as a dead pup in a damn garbage bag bc he has 16 reposts and he’s about to be euthanized #nycacc and you all don’t care enough to see his little face and take less than 3secs of ur time to repost him so we can find him a foster! Come on guys! Please!

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.
