The Platner discourse is gonna be so dumb & insufferable. Platner's whole deal (veteran, blue collar 'man's man' schtick but actually well-off, wears t-shirts) was always about appealing to NORMIE lib/independent voters. He was Bernie adjacent but was never a product of or targeted at the far left.

Everyone has always known this stuff has nothing to do with reality but it’s really never been quite as stark as it is now with all these Droopy Dog looking guys mocking the lack of virile manhood in another guy because he ate lettuce once

i still have difficulty not turning reddit replies into essays. there's a lot of things that can be said about most topics if you're even a little bit invested. if you cant think of things to say it's because youre choosing not to think or care about it--which is the purpose of writing papers.

It's almost as if the company's founding principle was pathological kleptomania

Your reminder that the government of Benjamin Naziyahu is as close to pure evil as any in the world:

This story is also a look at how his campaign was dominated by a cpl of these consultancy class guys--some with personal financial incentives!--who are no different or better than their establishment counterparts. our entire political/electoral system is just marinating in hot garbage water

Pete's obsession with this topic stems solely from the fact that he believes he can use it to get rid of black servicemembers

Yes this is ethnic cleansing, and it is also exactly what they've done for generations all throughout what is now called Israel, with material support & full-throated rhetorical support from far right wing and "liberal" politicians throughout the US, UK & Europe

"A sanction of that size ​has no analog in the history of consumer protection enforcement" -- that is exactly the kind of thing we need in this country right now, and a lot of it

If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. www.propublica.org/article/fede...

Israel kills four Palestinians in tents in Gaza today including one child.

how many people is ICE going to be allowed to hunt down & murder in the streets and kill in detention through malicious negligence before American politicians, lawyers and judges do literally anything about racist fascist stormtroopers who hardly even pretend to follow any US laws

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

"shared intelligence"

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Consider the degree of dehumanization necessary in order for Western media to not even consider this news. We're up against people who have lost touch with their humanity. #EndZionism #GazaHolocaust #SanctionIsrael #FreePalestine

this is the thing about being an upstart progressive candidate looking to take down the establishment, they will use parking tickets & unpaid taxes against you so uh, you definitely need to not be a fascist stormtrooper or rapist

Ken Paxton vowed to crack down on "illegal voting." He may have violated Texas election law. Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning that "it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records."

This “the mainstream media is out to get him” makes sense if you’re stupid and don’t ever have the thought enter your head about why Graham Platner has all this shit but Abdul El-Sayed doesn’t and Katie Wilson doesn’t and Zohran doesn’t despite the media, if anything, hating them significantly more

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

I somehow completely missed this probably because they started a new war but the forest service under the Trump administration has been dousing California’s forests in fucking RoundUp because they want to log them??? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

California Cops Tracked Protesters Using Orange County Sheriff's Flock System For over 19 months, cops across the Golden State continuously used OCSD’s Flock system to track protesters, almost all linked to anti-ICE demonstrations.

They’ve said this about nearly everyone they’ve shot in a moving car, and they’ve lied nearly every time.

centrists love to be like “rapists are just as bad as a muslim”

ah, well, im sure the US Senate will do the right thing and wont confirm an utterly unqualified Trump loyalist freak. its not as if they have repeatedly confirmed dangerous lunatics to jobs they explicitly intend to do the opposite of

"Germany uses deportation to suppress solidarity with Palestine" – This is what foreign activists are facing today. A dangerous escalation against human rights advocacy"(Khalil Mourtaja) #Germany #Palestine

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

why do we have "ethics questions" instead of corruption indictments? Because in America they have never made any of this illegal.

one of the big dem splits over the last few years is a lot of the dem establishment, as well as much of their staff and consultants, cannot and will not understand that a lot of their base is actually significantly less islamophobic and racist against arabs than they are

As predicted, the tariffs have created more opportunity for Trump’s naked, unprecedented corruption www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Real haters don't leap. They wait and watch. They know the true reasons for hating will be Revealed

a lot of replies seem to be missing that it says 8 sandwiches (lunch orders for the whole meeting?) and he says "near 30 minutes" which could mean 20-25, which is about how long it would take to make 8 made-to-order Subway sandwiches, so this is a totally reasonable thing he's obsessed with lmao

Describe the economy in a single sentence

Are our political and economic problems an anomaly or the predictable result of choices that were made and could be unmade? No one can ever know and frankly it's unpatriotic to even ask

I was watching on Al Jazeera how Israel uses drones to shoot children including a 10 day old baby in the head while breastfeeding. I am Jewish and this makes me sick. This is genocide. i can not figure out which country is worse the USA or Israel. Proud to be Jewish sick of Israeli crimes.

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

Brace yourself for an outpouring of support from Democratic leadership who will wax poetic about Mitch McConnells lifetime of public service

So much "price of eggs" discourse, so little acknowledgement for so long that it was illegal price-fixing apnews.com/article/egg-...

probably Just Cause, a series about made up countries ruled by some CIA/cartel backed tyrant warlord where you blow everything up to fix things

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

I feel like we're not talking about how "gender tests" for participation in girls sports IS SEXUAL ASSAULT OF MINORS STATE SANCTIONED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF MINORS

If youre paying attention this would mean that all of Trump's so-called "America First" economic policies are a complete & total failure at their ostensible purpose--I'm just wondering if anyone has heard it described this way in the media

They're doing ethnic cleansing. That's always what they're trying to do, it's always been what they're trying to do, and every staunch Israel supporter you've ever heard from is entirely aware of that.

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...
