this is... wild actually? it's just been a birthright trip fund for east coast teens this entire time?

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

You know, a President accusing a NYT reporter of committing treason just for asking a question is actually quite a big deal, and this bunch just standing there listening to it and doing nothing is not encouraging the public to think of journalism as a serious business or of words meaning anything.

It was a privilege to speak at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center and stand with Black leaders fighting DeSantis' gerrymander and the Supreme Court's assault on the Voting Rights Act. Thank you to @browarddems.bsky.social for hosting a powerful forum.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is not about keeping us safe. ICE is about normalizing the use of government thugs on your streets. ICE is about keeping the people in power safe from the people.

there are a lot of trump voters we aren’t ever going to convert and what we need to do is make them feel like the suckers they are and withdraw from electoral politics entirely

this is one of my "have to watch it every time it's posted" vids type s word

straight men have adopted queer men's obsession with appearance that signals to men but with none of the temperance brought on by "i want men to want to fuck me" so they functionally seek kink-signaling bodies with no interest in the kink and then get mad that women find them unappealing

my favorite genre of international dialogue

NOTHING on earth was a dumb as NFTs, holy shit. Holy fuckin shit.

Let this radicalize you

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Sad that the one guy can’t cross his legs. Seems like the 3 other guys are just teasing him.

7 months to go

Look it would be foolish to invest any money into some crazy Green New Deal type liberal fiasco, excuse me I have to go pay $800,000 for a gram of gasoline because that's the only way to live.

marjorie taylor green can get fucked for all eternity, what is wrong with people

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

An overturned election is a great time for the people and companies of Virginia to join a pact to not pay property or income taxes until their representation has been restored.

Hasan Piker calls out President Barack Obama for saying he wants a strong Republican Party "I want no Republican Party. I want an ineffective, feckless, weak Republican Party, like the Democratic Party is today...

On this day in 1935, FDR signed an executive order creating the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Of 2,000 WPA posters known to exist—publicizing community activities, theatrical productions, and health and educational programs—the Library's collection of more than 900 is the largest.

Alabama Legislature is meeting on redistricting; we are under a tornado watch, and it’s flooding in the building. These metaphors are too on the nose.

and I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I'll proudly stand up h/t @silkyweineck.bsky.social

running for president on a "i will confiscate yr pickup truck and crush it into a cube if you roll coal" platform

We know that if and when Iran reopens the strait, Trump and every bad faith actor in his orbit will pretend to believe Trump is vindicated—and that really, only he could’ve triumphed so exquisitely. It’s thus very important to set the bar now: a humiliating, pointless, eternally discrediting defeat.

Winning a Pulitzer while your employer thinks you don't deserve just cause protections is just so fucking... i dont even know. just so fucked.

Doctors Confirm Rudy Giuliani In Liquid But Stable Condition https://theonion.com/doctors-confirm-rudy-giuliani-in-liquid-but-stable-condition/

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.

this is what you look like when you unlock all the pieces of your class legendary armor and then you’re idling in town next to the mailbox

the dems still refusing to release the 2024 autopsy - and ken martin getting waaaay more hostile every time it gets brought up - really reminding me now of when that department of education memo about 'can the prez cancel student debt' got FOIAd and they redacted the entire thing lmao

“Act of defiance” we do not run the world, we are not the sole actor. Fuck this entire framing

A while back, my campaign team asked me if we should try to get an endorsement from Schiff. I told them “we’ll ask for Schiff’s endorsement when the campaign literally explodes” (aka never) Stuff like constantly voting for Trump nominees and this is the reason why.

Assume AI training for K-12 is a good idea. Schiff's bill, the LIFT AI Act, is a grant program for the National Science Foundation. The NSF has no director. The nominee is a Thiel acolyte with no science degrees. Trump just fired the entire Board that oversees NSF. No. Absolutely not.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

Nothing can prepare you for how literal this description is until you see the ad.

Brad and everyone like him are idiots and the sooner we treat them like idiots and not innocent hardworking decent people who were just confused the sooner we can get this country back on track.

I thought centrists were mostly cynics and opportunists out for money, but watching this Barney Frank interview where he's on his deathbed venting about the left, these people are fucking zealots...zealots for the status quo.

if you let the white south go too many generations without federal occupation, this is what they get up to

Can’t help but feel that we are living in an era of overwhelming anti-intellectualism on every front, with AI being the corporate vanguard of this cultural emptiness.

interesting that none of the replies here care about stopping 9/11

no hoseposting please. at 40+ you should have a sense of identity not premised on things you remember from when you were 12

NDAs are so funny. “Promise not to talk about this.” yeah, for sure 😉

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.
