Sorcerervo? (Turkey Day 2025 remnants.)

okay lol I just checked and I kid you not this is literally the cover of my own copy of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. Note: This was published in 2012, more than a decade ago. This was just the iconography the publisher felt best expressed Paine’s views.

"We have since learned new information, including from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp that Anne Frank was suffering from typhus, and have updated our story to add context about her health problems."

Honestly if there are sniper holes in the foreheads of children, I don’t care if your own reasoning allows you to sidestep the G-word, there is no logical parsing that can justify these acts, there is no gentlemanly symmetrical warfare based on some colonial guideline, this is mass human hunting.

Imagine assigning 1000 people to this because you’re just sure it’s gonna be the smoking gun to vanquish your enemies, and then afterwards being like “nope nothing to report at all.” Imagine what you must have found to prompt that reaction.

Anyway. If you’d like to be a part of building a better Democratic Party now, consider running for office. @runforsomething.net will help you. runforwhat.net

wazzzaaaa dude happy birthday lol 😝 hope you’re having a good one wish i was there Also we all know the secret we share. Into the depths of darkness men like us tread. The hunger that drives us away from the light.

It’s really gross the right relies on and cheaply deploys the image of child sex trafficking for the emotional weight of their politics while simultaneously doing this.

the times is reporting that fema let call center operator contracts expire on july 5, the day after the texas flood, and calls answered went from 99.7% that day to 36% the next to 16% the next www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

His entire world exists within that TV screen. There is nothing outside of it.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I looked into this a bit more. It's worse than it first appeared. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1956...

this is legitimately evil

This has to end. RFK Jr is using CDC treatment guidelines to launder quack measles “cures””—like vitamin A which caused liver toxicity in children in Texas recently—and continue to undermine vaccination. www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-... Call Congress Protest Shut shit down.

Don't accurately describe my behavior please. It makes me look bad and it's a form of sabotage

The entire first Trump presidency was like a giant Y2K problem, where concerted and consistent behind the scenes efforts prevented the worst of the catastrophe, so people figured it couldn’t have been that bad. Now people are shocked to see what happens without those safeguards

Reminder: if you predicted half the things happening now (threatening to take Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal; lawless mass firings; complete defiance of Congressional prerogatives; mass pardons of violent supporters) even a couple of years ago, Serious Thinkers would have dismissed you. /1

Come to cases, “America First” means the United States sacrifices allies and prestige in order to help Russia win territory in a war of aggression.

This fellow failed to understand what is clear from nearly every word Trump has ever uttered about politics: he thinks politics is about helping your friends, regardless of their merit or the law, and harming your enemies, regardless of their weakness or rights

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.
