Anyone that believes all people should have decent access to healthcare without going bankrupt, and like 19 people shouldn’t own all the wealth and control the government is being labeled a “communist” by the state

Final score: Washington 1, The Other Washington 0.

The air is full of smoke, the food is full of parasites, and the water is full of data center bacteria but at least we stopped all that DEI children's cancer research!

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

Orange is bad. For Presidents and our climate. The smoke on our east coast is a warning to everyone.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”

Nice weather we’re having today, Washington. If I get struck by lightning the day before I start my summer vacation I’m gonna haunt tf outta this place. ⛈️

Blows my mind how every time I learn about some new form of enshittification, I can track its correlation almost directly with the decline in journalists covering that beat. Tech, local news, movies, games, doesn’t matter. When the critical engine surrounding something dies, industry enshittifies

Thoughts, prayers, and active-shooter drills are good enough for schoolchildren so they're good enough for grown-ass SCOTUS who already have more security of every type than the rest of us.

the Suno hack "reveals"/reminds that these companies do not give a shit about artists, people, culture, their customers, or one God damned thing besides making money off other people's work they are as festering rot on a wet board, and of equivalent value

Will this experiment where we are governed by the stupidest people we can find be over soon?

Yesterday the sitting President of the United States paid 5.6 million dollars to a woman he raped. It barely made ripple in the news cycle and most who voted for him don't seem to care. In case you were wondering how far the goalposts have moved in the last decade or so.

Excited to see what fresh, daring tactics FIFA employs today to ensure that their favorite team advances to the final.

welcome to America, where you don’t know if a bullet or a piece of lettuce is going to kill you

This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

when we say women aren’t safe anywhere, this is what we mean

Leave it to the Trump administration to take fresh fruits and vegetables— one of the best things about summer — literally off the table.

Calling the president’s conduct “an authoritarian takeover,” U.S. Rep Adam Smith, D-Bellevue, called for Donald Trump to be removed from office on Tuesday.

This keeps happening, the conflation of people disapproving of Dems being too weak and unprincipled with disapproving of Dems for being too leftwing. This is part of how a lot of Gen Z distrust for Dems gets recast into Gen Z being rightwing

Me: "It's time to start eating healthy." Lettuce: "I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea!" Chips and cookies in my pantry: "I would never do that to you."

Maybe the Democrats should stop sending pleas for money based on “polls that show razor-thin margins” and ask themselves why, in an era in which the reigning party has progressed from looting us blind to shooting us dead in the streets, polls don’t show people flocking to the Democrats’ standard.

Some Americans: "Why are Canadians mad at us? We just can't figure it out."

The news should be covering ICE like a serial killer on the loose

it’s hard to explain how much shit like this has radicalized people. like i’m a white middle-aged broad who’s always been liberal but i’ve gone full-on “abolish ICE/reform scotus/the next dem candidate must commit to mass prosecutions” and you will not sway me from that position.

Do I wish I’d worked harder at getting a book published a couple of decades ago? Yes. But I couldn’t be expected to predict that authors would be replaced by machines that gobble our words and spew out shit, and that many people would stop reading books altogether, so I’m trying to forgive myself.

The GOP Playbook is so stale and predictable. Breathlessly trying to resurrect the Red Scare is not going to get any traction among Americans. We deserve a government that serves the people, and it's high time we had it.

Actually flawless.

”abolish ICE“ means (1) abolishing a particular agency and (2) salting the earth so that nothing that does what it does can ever emerge again—no matter what it‘s called or who is in charge of it.

When It Happens, if any Democratic politician utters a single word for him other than pure contempt and scorn, I will be waging a holy war against that person for the rest of my natural life

*tearing up while eating a giant churro/croissant for lunch* the lamination on this bake is AMAZING

The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.

Your actions can make a heck of a lot more of a difference when you spend your climate energy pressuring governments, corporations and industry to make the changes they need to make. Tacoma, for instance, just banned data centers, partly due to community pressure. www.king5.com/article/news...

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

At this rate Republicans are going to burn through their entire corrupt old white man supply by November

If the wealthy are "job creators", why are they spending trillions of dollars trying to eliminate as many paying jobs as possible through Al and automation?

The Plantichrist @ The Gay Plant Store, Seattle WA. 🤭😈

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Lindsey Graham has died. In lieu of flowers, we ask that Americans take a long hard look at how such a gelatinous cretin was ever elected Senator, experience life-altering guilt if they ever voted for him, and vote to ensure that a slug of his caliber never slimes its way into Congress again.

George Lucas described Darth Vader as "not the Devil, but more like the guy the Devil sends to the corner store for cigarettes." Lindsey Graham was like the guy who stands in line for life to audition to be the guy the Devil sends to the corner store for cigarettes.
