I mean, if we're talking about the red meat in the era of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, sure. A diseased product sold by hucksters that wreaks havoc and even causes death, forcing the federal government to step in with harsh regulations? Yeah, man, that works.

actually I changed my mind, I love celebrity boxing matches now. I think everyone I hate should do them, because I'm really enjoying watching the worst people on earth get their shit rocked

They whine about DEI and feminism, but the problem is clearly Unrdgulated Capitalism. Want to fix his problems? Reinstate New Deal policies. Enforce the Sherman anyi-trust laws. #TaxTheBillionaires at 1950s marginal tax rates. Limit CEO pay to 50x the lowest paid worker.

Im throwing a family christmas party tomorrow at 11 am. Their family is rushing to get here and I am making a smaller version of my christmas eve party because I do not remember a year they all weren't here. Last year they chose church on the TV so they could be at our house. Keep praying please.

THings are moving faster than I would like and we are scrambling to get her living room ready for her today when she comes home. There was the official nothing more can be done call this morning. The men friends went to go be with him. Pray for us as we hold them

Not sure why many people resist the likelihood that he is in cognitive decline. Yes he's always been bigoted and vulgar but now you can see signs of disinhibition. He's 80 years old and cognitive decline is actually extremely common in the U.S. as people age.

Honestly, I try to be the kind of adult that 15 year old Abby would be impressed with, and when I was 15 I was wholly unimpressed with any teacher or coach trying too hard with teenagers and that has served me well I think.

Sat with a friend today as he received bad cancer news for his wife. Promised her mother I would be by their side as a pastor and friend. All I had to say was "we are here, we are right here with you." Pray for us please.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

This is the entire thing

I am sick. Booooo. Tell me something good! I am feeling so wildly scared and I don't think I have to be like that. What's good?

Hakeem Jeffries is terrible.

I am a comfortable, influential PhD and published author and broadcaster, and I don’t understand why people of color buying a snack at Cinnabon don’t just reason with the person shouting racial slurs at them, for the good of World Socialism. Today in the Atlantic

You don’t join with Republicans in a symbolic vote “against socialism” after a Democratic socialist becomes Mayor of the city *you represent* if you actually care to protect members of your party. He’s a coward who will never meet the moment and will always throw his Dem colleagues under the bus.

One thing I hope everyone notices is that our fascist overlords are actually very scared, very whiny babies who aren’t capable of withstanding even 1/10000th of what they dish out. Just fold into complete terror over the smallest thing. Remember that every time they cosplay as tough guys.

This is fucking sick. Donald Trump accuses Rep. Ilhan Omar of marrying her brother and being in the country illegally and leads the crowd in chants of "Send her back." Just absolute gutter racism. White Citizen's Council level stuff, maybe even too rude for the Uptown Klan.

REPEAT AFTER ME (but really, after Neil Kraus): Wage stagnation and underemployment are not problems that education can fix. We cannot "upskill" students into well-paying jobs that do. not. exist.

it’s wild how much money HRC has and how many trans people are in poverty

They are not going after violent criminals. They are making legal immigrants illegal and throwing them into inhumane detention centers.

killing “get that bag” requires killing a social media culture that venerates aspirational and individual consumption while rebuilding a civil society that provides base levels of economic and social bonds with a soft pressure of shame and shared morals which would be nice, but (gestures broadly)

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits. Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

The overinflated egos of so many conservative men convinced them that people who don’t constantly talk about fighting and having guns must not know how to fight or shoot guns. Their violent fantasies coming to fruition would only hasten their ultimate demise. Their blind spots are trap doors.

MyTaxReceipt shows you a breakdown of how your U.S. federal taxes get spent — enter your Zip code and the amount you paid in Federal taxes (or you can use the default average for your Zip code). It generates a receipt-style summary showing what portion goes to defense, healthcare, interest on debt..

The children minister version of whamagedon is getting through advent without a child asking you what a virgin is. Wish me luck.

Okay. This is going to sound fake. It is not. If you have a child between the ages of 5 and 12 they want their own office supplies. Post its. A clip board. A stapler and staples. Tape. A stamper. It can say canceled or approved. Whatever. They want office supplies that they can "waste"

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.

The monthly hand bandage (kisunla), the MRI, the oval office sign, the rambling. The President has Alzheimer's. But rich people are getting what they want, so I guess we're going to pretend he doesn't.

Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote. This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

This is why we can't consider this dude in 2028. Actions > words.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court. A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Trump is at 60% disapproval and a bunch of Republicans are actively defying him on Epstein and the Caribbean boat strikes. Hakeem Jeffries: Time to go on the news and praise Trump for his work "securing" the border

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

I don't think they can say that which is why they don't. Some of them don't have a problem with what he is saying. The entire caucus should have been up in arms on their COLLEAGUE Ilhan Omar's behalf. They haven't been.

HELLO, SOMEBODY!

Most women who date men absolutely date broke men at some point in our lives. Please let's be serious. If this weren't true, then almost no men would go on dates.

he's gotta go

This is a dollar store stepford wife.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

On the anniversary of his death, this is a reminder that John Brown was right about everything and he should have a memorial on the Mall in DC.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

My Fair Work Week law requires fast-food restaurants to give workers stable schedules & pathways to F/T jobs. Starbucks has cheated 15,000 baristas—now they have to pay up. Props @sbworkersunited.org & @hellodcwp.bsky.social for the biggest workers’ right enforcement action in NYC history.

"Soon even the deepest reaches of the local aquifer were tainted, according to RS, as huge volumes of data center and agricultural wastewater saturated the water table." 🫠🫠🫠 This is the future of deregulation and ending "big government" so many voted for. This is what that means. This.
