it probably wont. There's been a million & one easy messaging wins in this mistake of a presidency that Democrats have refused to engage with. most Democrats dont want to have to govern and they certainly dont want the party to win a mandate based on a commitment to serious economic reforms.

this song is very funny in concept and execution youtu.be/9RfbetpUnMo?...

lmao he said im not here to code switch or play respectability politics, fuck these people. love that energy

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

so you know how grocery prices have been going out of control for like 2 years? Good news: price increases from the US attacking Iran and disrupting the oil supply chain arent even really factored into price increases yet!

The Make it Make Sense clips are sadder when you think of all the people the Washington Post has laid off in the past couple years and realize this is what is left over

It’s interesting to recognize right wing capture and balkanization of media and then frame it as a failing of the left. I imagine this makes sense to someone that doesn’t understand fucking anything

A post like this goes around every week and one thing I would say is that people who blog or post for a living are always gonna think posting is extremely important, what is the point in posting on a Nazis website where he tells you he’s throttling you and banning people like you?

The "woke" hypocrisy of public health was not even a footnote of the covid era. Public health experts did not endorse any of this. These reactionaries are making this shit up on the spot.

17. this motherfucker doesnt even fully understand his own likes & dislikes or who he is gonna be as a person but decided to throw his life away trying to end or ruin the lives of random strangers, that is how toxic, sick & violent our culture is.

People helped me when my father passed and we couldn't afford funeral and bills, so I'm boosting this now. May you receive the help from the community that I was so grateful for, and be surrounded by support as you grieve.

Some smug liberal was trying to sass someone in my mentions about how harmful it is criticize the Biden administration right now, and for awhile I was seeing red...

This is such a right wing coded attempted takedown. "Oh, this [brown] man SAYS he is a doctor, but he only has a flimsy COLLEGE DEGREE [a medical doctorate], he's not a REAL DOCTOR unless he quits politics & prescribes fentanyl to your grandmom"

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

would be a real shame if they were all destroyed

Ruben Gallego is the latest Senator to come out in support of structural reform of the Roberts #SCOTUS. Sens. Warren, Smith, Markey has come out for expansion. Booker supports term limits. Where are Sens. Whitehouse, Sanders, Merkley, Murphy, Schatz, Murray and so on? Time is now to speak out.

why are right wing politicians so committed to making every part about living in the world worse

Chicago teen battling terminal cancer dies hours after reuniting with parents An 18-year-old Chicago resident battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents following their release from U.S. immigration custody.

Social Media in 2035

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

i am once again begging some major porn studio to take up the mantle of larry flynt and start bribing senators again

and it has a very real effect on people that while everyone is alienated & isolated the internet is so aggressively censored. ive seen gen z/alpha kids earnestly argue that the show euphoria shouldnt be allowed to exist bc ppl shouldnt be able to be exposed to sex/drug/grossout gags on streaming

thinking of all those old 'too hot for TV' commercials from back in the day and now how you'd struggle to get away with broadcast network level cheesecake on many online platforms now

NEW: Despite a long-standing court order, the NYPD didn’t audit thousands of stops made by its Community Response Team, which has a history of unconstitutional policing and has drawn hundreds of civilian complaints.

A+ for effort and gumption, but let's talk about the body mechanics of punching a nazi. For a running overhand right, your hip and fist should arrive at the same time, driving through the target with the force of your legs. This is a flail or a slap, his arm is dragging behind. He outran his punch.

“Some inmates who served with Ghislaine Maxwell say they were punished by prison staff for talking about her alleged special treatment. One woman says after speaking to a reporter, she was punished.” Totally normal and not suspicious at all.

“Alexa, show us an interview you couldn’t pay us any amount of money to watch”

so theyre blaming the intellectual property that they stole to train it? good. go fuck yourselves

Senator Booker supports providing Israel with a "qualitative military edge" that they use for ethnic cleansing, apartheid, wars of aggression & the most horrific, depraved human rights abuses imaginable by man

Asked about if he would vote to approve future arms sales to Israel, Senator Cory Booker replies: "We have a long-standing commitment to Israel having a qualitative military edge. I will continue to support that."

the other thing about Twitter is that even the people who seemingly haven't had their brain cooked by the Nazi stew yet spend all their time responding to the stupidest fucking engagement bait accounts. everything there is just atrocious

i can guarantee that no one living of any gender will be more impressed if you have artificially inflated, superficially larger balls

I love the mayor's request that airlines play this educational wailing video on all incoming flights. bsky.app/profile/stra...

We should be allowed to launch the same sized rocks at the head of someone who does this

It is an endocrine disruptor. I got my period twice in a month after protesting in Portland and breathing it in back in 2020. Never happened before or after. Bled a day after being in the fumes and then got a period later in the month. Can't imagine what it does to a child.

This was Seattle in 2020 when a Democratic Mayor and Police Chief gassed and entire neighborhood multiple nights. Kids at home in their cribs were impacted by the dense fog of chemical weapons. There’s been no accountability or repercussions for Jenny Durkan and Carmen Best.

6/ These weapons are especially toxic to children, who breathe more rapidly than adults, pulling in more contaminated air relative to their body weight. There are no studies of long-term effects on kids, but studies on adults show lingering eye issues and respiratory illnesses.

5/ Such scenes of billowing gas and tear-stained faces have prompted some historians to liken the scope and intensity of the agents’ deployment of chemical munitions to brutal crackdowns by Southern law enforcement during the Civil Rights Movement.

4/ Another officer fired pepper spray through a car window, hitting a 1-year-old girl in the back seat. A bystander filmed her in tears. DHS called the incident a “hoax.” But, as a local pastor at the scene testified later, “there’s literally video evidence.”

3/ Videos show how immigration agents have used these weapons: at one point, officers hurl tear gas canisters at protesters without apparent provocation. Then, with the street flooded in white smoke, a CBP agent shoots pepper balls before muttering “Fuck yeah,” and “Woo!”

2/ We found at least 79 children hurt by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s deportation blitz. It’s likely a vast underestimate. Kids were at home, sitting in strollers or attending a daytime protest with their parents. Then, chemicals left them gasping for air.

A must-read thread 🧵

Before the 2024 election, federal prosecutors were “full steam ahead” looking into how a prison gang in Puerto Rico gave drugs to inmates if they voted for a GOP gubernatorial candidate. After Trump’s election, the investigation evaporated.

This is btw the kind of thing the GOP is trying to disenfranchise Americans so corrupt politicians can sign off on it without any consequence to them--blatantly illegal shit that degrades all of society to make the ultrarich richer
