I think a lot of people don't fully appreciate that this administration and all of the people backing it are in it to make content as content creators

There are plenty of new, good ideas available across all industries but to bring them to life would mean giving POC and women money (and the credit) to do so, and well, we can’t have that! 🙃

Still thinking about this. I think they’d be excellent as an upper-Midwest sibling pair. Benoit in his best winter sleuthing finery!

airborne bird flu the government won’t acknowledge while it is engaged in fascist purges and terror campaigns is the plot of a dystopian sci fi novel

loooooooool. yep. yep. it's h a p p e n i n g .

The media is entirely responsible for Donald Trump in our lives and Elon Musk as well. Real engineers and scientists knew he was a moron long ago. I was told repeatedly by my brother and his nerds at JPL that Elon was a dolt. But tech press don't know shit either and access is the name of the game.

We shouldn’t have to live like this. I’m not THAT old, and I remember we *didn’t* live like this. Powerful segments of society have made a choice that the regular scene of dead bodies in classrooms is an acceptable cost of doing business, and we shouldn’t have to accept that. I’m sad and I’m angry.

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

it's useful to keep in mind the motivations vary for dems reluctance to get in on weed. for joe biden, it's primarily because he's a million year old catholic that also has specific family issues about drugs. with other dems, it might be, say, "we want a steady supply of free prison labor"

“Real id is Not an immigration document” Than why have you been claiming it is for the last twenty years and using that as the reasoning for every American having to get one. Oh that’s right because it was always a fascist police stete thing not a protection thing.

But even more importantly, the same should be true of DHS.

When you can’t say “sorry we capitulated to bigots” because you’re afraid the bigots might hear you, so you just throw some glitter around and hope for the best.

Reminder: Tucker is running for the same seat as oyster nazi, and unlike oyster nazi, he actually cares about the minorities in his state being attacked by Trump. let's see what Platner has to say about ME's Somali community:

Tired: Machine elves Wired: Hundreds of little guys doing little jobs

🗣️JUST BECAUSE YOU WENT TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL DOESN’T MAKE YOU A GOOD CATHOLIC🗣️

she doesn't *have* a support system, she's part of a group of reactionary hashtag content creators who are all in to-the-death zero sum competition with one another and who are all incapable of empathizing with one another as humans

the ability to have vigorously contested primaries with multiple high quality candidates that draw a large voting population is an INCREDIBLE trick for selecting good general election candidates and anybody who says otherwise is trying to fool you or has themselves been fooled

Henry Cuellar’s biggest donor is ICE’s largest contractor: private prison company GEO Group. Guess whose budget Democrats just set him up to oversee in 2027

The reflex here is to get angry at Schumer, because he’s obviously garbage, but if the majority of elected dems disagreed with Schumer to any real degree, he’d have already been removed. This isn’t just one bad man — this is one bad, corrupt, imperialistic, inhumane, fundamentally broken party.

Giamatti and Olivia Colman as brother and sister would be top-tier Knives Out casting to me.

I got to the part in this story where someone SYNTHESIZED A DRUG THAT GIVES SOMEONE PARKINSON’S OVERNIGHT and went 😮 😧 😮 😧 😮 😧 😩

She looks like all the bitchy popular girls from my high school who stayed in my midwestern hometown and became nurses.

Oh we are absolutely at the John Wayne fantasy stage of cognitive decline for grandpa, huh

The Harper's Letter test almost never misses...

The underlying precept of the entire right wing project is that people who are comfortable as themselves are the enemy of misery and misery is authority's closest friend.

"These ebikes are out of control and we need to regulate them now!"

cryptkeeper-ass president shouting at the median voter that they're stupid pieces of shit who deserve nothing is a brilliant strategy, sir, no one's ever motivated an electorate like you can

Henry Ford HATED Jazz because too many Jewish & Black Folks were a part of it. He pushed the Department of Education to make square dance part of the curriculum to counter Jazz.

The thing is it’s not a TV host is president it’s that Television is the president

This idea that property should only appreciate is part of the reason we have a housing affordability crisis.

YES. 1000%.

Everyone: Do something about our healthcare premiums. Senate Dems: Here is legislation that's going to fuck up the internet.

if Trump reschedules pot and all of America becomes California Circa 2013 in terms of medical weed i will call this the greatest own goal in the history of Democratic Politics

This is why I say that the p*lice are defunding YOU

Me tuning in any time Ayuso is involved:

note to everyone else they're trying to intimidate: telling the administration to fuck off remains the single most effective response

someone tell the California ACLU who is disproportionately more likely to be killed in traffic accidents including those involving people under the influence

Sir, that farm was raided by government agents who disappeared people and their families can’t find them Atlantic editor: So? Sir, a woman screamed racial slurs at black people and said “I am a racist” as she was doing it Atlantic editor: This calls to mind the brave words of Cesar Chavez-

they are bad people doing tremendous damage and we will have to keep fighting them on every front, but “elections are over and we’re doomed forever” is not true and we are going to win

again, ignition interlocks are one of those things where there basically *really is* a technological solution to the problem that greatly mitigates that tradeoffs, and it's a policy failure that they aren't mandatory for five years after your first DUI.

my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it

Ain’t that the truth

The thing about me… i don’t care if he’s using a walker… i care that he’s evil

We need to primary @whipkclark.bsky.social An absolute embarrassment to her district and waste of a progressive seat in the middle of a fascist takeover. #maploi

A year ago, our lawsuits helped make sure congestion pricing would go into effect on January 1, 2025. Now, the results are clear:  Congestion pricing has resulted in a marked drop in air pollution – not just in Lower Manhattan, but throughout the metro region.

The "just build" solution to high rent prices may be economically sound but the way James, 27 ans sees it, buildings are being built while his rent isn't going down. That facilitates a mode of thinking about the housing economy that is essentially "government cares about developers, not me."

yeah i'm not being funny but most arguments against rent controls, while they may be /economically/ sound, are bad from the perspective of /political/ economy

The administration is quite literally breaking all the laws of God and man to destroy Kilmar Abrego Garcia as an example to everyone. His freedom is our freedom.

There is no genuine scholarly or historical debate about the birthright citizenship clause. What there is is disingenuous or outright fabricated bullshit by opportunists willing to aid a racist project for the sake of professional expedience.
