Democrats should be advocating for and branding a 99% wealth tax on assets above $1 billion as an “oligarch tariff,” and they should promise that “we’re gonna take some of that tariff money that we’ve made, we’re gonna give it to our residents for healthcare and childcare who are being hurt.”

*heavy breathing*

This was published 80 year ago but it is still just as valid and applicable today

Trump gets humiliated at the UN, Kimmel returns, he drops further in the polls and just goes fucking crazy at the White House today. Insane new tariffs, Comey, war against his domestic opponents, shutting down the government. He is losing it, and it’s getting dangerous out there.

Eggs were too expensive you see

Hey remember this

Apparently there's an ultimatum

“It makes it extremely difficult for us [Portland Police Bureau] to deal with, as the folks that are on the other side of this fence [Federal ICE/DHS Officers] have been, night after night, actually instigating and causing some of the ruckus that’s occurring down there” —PPB Asst. Operations Chief

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

TIL there's a huge major comedy show in Saudi Arabia happening and also that Zach Woods remains a king

The people standing next to him are supposed to be running massive institutions and departments but they all spend every day just standing there chuckling obsequiously while their ⁽ᵃˡˡᵉᵍᵉᵈ⁾ Pedophile King rambles incoherently about petty grievances and the Things He Just Learned Can You Believe It

A short story: Act I: healthcare insurer outsources its drug coverage business to a “pharmacy benefit manager” company Act II: pharmacy benefit manager company is purchased by a different large health insurer & folded into their pharmacy benefit subsidiary Act III: I cant get my ADHD meds anymore

This is why they wear masks

YES LETS GO THERE

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position

City and state leaders need to keep making it crystal clear that they will prosecute every crime these thugs commit against people in their jurisdictions no matter how long it takes or how much it costs. Preserve the videos, keep the names, prepare the cases. These jackboots must face accountability

It’s difficult to find the words to express how our unit is feeling right now, but we’ll take a stab at it: shocked, disappointed, angry, gutted. @cascadepbs.bsky.social’s choice to eliminate long-form written reporting is a massive loss for our community in a critical moment. tinyurl.com/LayoffFund

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position

You're never going to find a 'reasonable centrist' or some sort of temperate, enlightened political thinker whose goodness and rightness transcends mere party, and instead its stupid people who don't think about politics and maybe don't think, period

These are the types of political geniuses that urged Mallory McMorrow not to run for US Senate in 2026

“Compliments of”

Democrats should be advocating for and branding a 99% wealth tax on assets above $1 billion as an “oligarch tariff,” and they should promise that “we’re gonna take some of that tariff money that we’ve made, we’re gonna give it to our residents for healthcare and childcare who are being hurt.”

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Every time he’s asked a question about an actual policy or issue he sounds like a 6th Grader bullshitting his way through a report on a book he didn’t read. His vocabulary is shrinking by the week. His made-up Sir Stories are increasingly pathetic. He’s a fucking idiot and I think we should say so.

It would be funny if congressional dems dropped all their budget and healthcare demands, and made their ONE condition for a CR the release of all of the Epstein files.

The cowardice of the elites is a defining feature of America in 2025

The only “great replacement strategy” I’ve seen during my nearly 50 years on this planet is the right-wing strategy to replace an educated, informed, and engaged electorate with whatever the fuck this is

The 6-year right wing anti-tik tok campaign in America was never about “Chinese propaganda,” or “protecting Americans’ data” (lmao), or anything else they said it was. Tik Tok was a massively popular media platform they didn’t control—that’s it. Just like twitter. Now they control them both.

It is impressive how YT has somehow avoided the kind of scrutiny other social media platforms enjoy

Ignorant simpletons and willful fools

"People don’t understand that Palm Beach in the 90s was a different time, he groused." Every word of this is a yikes

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

It feels like this is becoming a more common mass shooter profile: Someone who's interested in politics but not as a vehicle to express clear values or a coherent viewpoint. He just wants to mock anyone who takes it seriously.

It would be a broadly harmful moral hazard to continue to insulate people from the real-world economic impacts of their fantasy-world culture-and-grievance-based votes

If you don’t want to be called a Nazi, stop hanging out with and agreeing with and taking ideological inspiration from Nazis who say Nazi things

This is the least masculine, least alpha, least MANLY response possible. He’s a world historical bitch and loser and most people aren’t into loser bitches
