The conservative intelligentsia and media-industrial complex has been publicly masturbating about getting to kill people for years now, they are orders of magnitude worse than even the MAGA base. Everybody knows this, it's just politically incorrect to say it.

And anyone who speaks against anything short of mass arrests and tribunals, politician or otherwise, is not to be trusted. They are a collaborator at best, convinced that their vice for moderation has become a messianic virtue.

Sometimes when it’s very cold out I’ll prepare a Stanley/Alladin vacuum flask with hot water before I hop under the covers so I can make more tea or cocoa later without getting out of bed

Anyone else read that last option as an invitation to log off? 😛

Zinn was not great historiography when he first published and his complaints about primary, let alone secondary education were already fading when he wrote. They are completely invalid now, and the only way to argue that that's a "left" issue" is if you take "leftism" as primarily eschatological.

A good 75% of these patches are going to be credit unions that even people in their market don’t recognize

i say this, but i realize that part of the reason MGP communicates to her constituents as if they're stupid and gullible is that many of them *are* stupid and gullible

Things worth really hammering to any family and acquaintances whose reflexive attitude is “but we gotta enforce the law”: (1) Lots of the folks being targeted came here legally; the administration has retroactively declared them “illegal” despite having done nothing wrong

A lot of libertarian arguments come down to "so you believe the government should use *force* for this?" and the answer is usually "yeah, but only if the person is too stupid to take the 50 outs the government gives them first."

this whole moment is really demonstrating why those who shit on NATO but leftistly are dumbasses who cannot be trusted

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

1. Be an epidemiologist 2. Concern-troll about mandatory vaccination 3. Get a ton of pushback 4. Stop replies

More places need a public square called The Uncommons

i hope people celebrate in the fucking streets when andrew wakefield dies

getting mad at wyden — who has one of the strongest records of voting against this admin in the entire senate — for this post is a remarkable act of pointless performative outrage.

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike. You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

I’m out here every day using my full government name! I went up to an ICE videographer and recited my name and address to the camera and said “come arrest me if you dare.” Nothing happened. They are not going to conduct a massive sweep and put all of us in camps; they have no capacity to do it.

I mean I think the people doing this are trying to find a lefty excuse not to do anything

look, if you're screaming at someone for saying they won't vote to fund ICE but not using the exact right words you'd prefer, it's time to step back a bit

bluesky: the premier social network for getting yelled at because you explained how a complex process you have no control over works

God I love when someone is having an insane meltdown on here and it turns out I already have them blocked

In a real sense gets at the entire conservative ethos. They want to humiliate abuse and degrade women and minorities, and their base wants the vicarious pleasure of seeing it done on their behalf. This is also why they're basically fine with the Epstein stuff.

I just thought everyone should see this

Someone with actual knowledge on this please help me out; Why is ICE using the green smoke that’s been identified as marker smoke, not intended for crowd control? Are they running out of the stuff they’d normally use?

Thirty-one known defendants have been charged in Chicago with non-immigration crimes tied to “Operation Midway Blitz.” With today’s acquittal, 15 of them have been cleared. No one has been convicted.

i can be trusted with vintage typography equipment

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

Assuming it really is narcolepsy instead of just “being 26” That’s a reason not an excuse

Spokane gas prices jumped up by around 30 cents per gallon in a day, which at first I thought was just markets reacting to all the war posturing But I’ve been buying gas almost exclusively in Idaho for over a year and the place I go had the same price they’ve had since basically Labor Day

The original post by Nate so neatly embodies the fatal error of the last decade—the idea that because we worked very hard to avert a catastrophe, the catastrophe was never a danger in the first place

Every time I see a photo of these Nazis all geared up they're standing across from some mom in a puffy winter coat and they just look so pathetic.

Goddamn is Hunter Walker ever one of the dumbest guys around

Just downloaded Protomen III having heard only a few of the tracks before as singles Immediately getting Vangelis Blade Runner vibes off the first track

Butts butts butts butts

trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

One may note that this is "rural" in the sense that it is unincorporated farmland 20 minutes outside the main city center of a metro area of 650,000.

Oh so they’re not even calling obvious holding tonight

Fernando!

This game really does have a shitty sound mix huh

Ok Indiana you do need to still play defense

lol Miami

I don’t know if the music duck bus thread is real or a bit and I very much hope it’s a bit

MAGA is more offended by Don Lemon walking into a church than ICE shooting an innocent woman in the face.

Using a photo of the guy open carrying from a completely different neighborhood in the city to represent protestors and supposedly congregants who got angry at a pastor who is working as the field director of ICE is just fucking egregious.

Literally everyone who even vaguely knew what a tariff was said this when they were introduced! You don’t need a team of economists to analyze the situation — no one who lives in reality was confused by this!

Ok this halftime should have ended ten minutes ago We didn’t even get a show

Why do they call it Hard Rock Stadium when Florida doesn’t have any hard rocks

using the word “libtard” as a grown man should automatically trigger a national alert announcing that anyone who sees this guy out and about has a civic duty to give him a wet willie or atomic wedgie. dealer’s choice.

Imagine being the first person in ancient times to go “hey guys what if we made the bottom of the amphorae -flat-?”
