If your police department can only comply with 25% of a court order, they should only get 25% of their funding

You probably think you can't hate Target more than you already do but ....

Any part of the state that can’t be bound by the law needs to be shrunk until it can be managed. Too big to follow the Constitution is too big to exist.

Imagine this for anybody else. “Dairy Queen has fully complied with 25% of the court order that requires them to sell soft serve.”

This is horrible. Also want to note the asymmetry. If your car is stolen, it’s hard to get the police to spend enough time on it to read your filing. But Target has police combing through license databases for a fake claim of $80? The state should sanction them.

MORE REASON TO STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET

Terrible. Walmart also does this.

Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!

We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!

"The Vatican is in desperate need of criminal justice reform. As of today, any criminal can walk into the Vatican, confess to any crime, immediately be forgiven, and walk out with zero consequences." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/vat...

An HOUR of work is worth a bag of chips.

Tax anyone who upholds the most evil government in our nation's history into bankruptcy. Burn every confederate flag, wreck every monument, and uphold the glorious history of redemption during Reconstruction while cursing elites that stole that brighter future for the South from us.

conservative free speech is when they speak and you listen or suffer the consequences

"When will Democrats finally campaign on economic issues, appeal to swing voters and reject social justice issues!?"

👀

Why should we continue to fight foreign fossil fuel wars? On a global scale, solar with storage is now $60/MWh. The cost of fossil gas in Asia exceeds $160 per MWh. Renewables are cheaper & cleaner. See Alt text for details from the report. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 Source: ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

It’s so bizarre to me that some people prefer this method!

The thing I hate most about the modern internet is emailed 1FA stedda passwords. Email has enormous latency! Let me just log in!

They campaigned on doing this.

If a conservative racist like Magyar is willing to actually scour the Hungarian government of Orbán acolytes then I don't know how U.S. Democrats could possibly look much worse by comparison. Biden didn't even fire Louis DeJoy.

Trump is not a master media manipulator. The media are just masters at being manipulated.

26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball. Now being discarded as if he was human refuse. Shame on Syracuse for not intervening. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/04...

FYSA, the lead story is not "current GenXers brains are bad because lead", it's that lead poisoning disproportionately impacted poor and minority communities and those voters died younger. Also AIDS killed a lot of young progressive GenXers.

WaPo website replaced search with AI and it's going great

In case it's not super obvious- you...can't get doordash delivered to anywhere inside the White House fenced off complex, much less the West Wing much less the patio of the Oval gd Office. No need to treat a stunt as something real!

This is culturally really dangerous. Functioning societies depend on most people mostly following the rules even when they could probably get away with not doing so. That breaks down very fast once a critical mass decide that makes them saps and suckers.

you cannot long run a stable society when the immoral ultra-elite are constantly rubbing everyone else’s noses in their total impunity all the goddamn time

The country's descent into fascism cannot be understood without interrogating U.S. policing. But folks across the political spectrum are allergic to this so here we are.

When all this is over, I'll keep coming back to the fact that the US both 1) un-sanctioned Iranian oil and 2) blocked Iranian oil exports within a 30-day period as the best encapsulation of the strategic incoherence of this whole war.

Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.

This whole thing was a setup for TV and that any news organization takes this even remotely at face value is going to turn me into the Joker.

You know what would also help her afford her husband's cancer treatments? UNIVERSAL FUCKING HEALTH CARE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW IS THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY STILL LIKE THIS MAYBE GRANDMA SHOULDN"T HAVE TO DELIVER FOOD LIKE A TEENAGER IF WE HAD A DECENT FUCKING SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking: ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.

The replacement of Jesus with Trump as the messianic figure in right wing American Christianity is predicated on plausible deniability, and Trump breaks this contract every time he explicitly acknowledges that he has taken the place of Christ in their worship.

Did everyone forget about this one?

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

It is profoundly unjust that we have to live this way. It doesn’t make any fucking sense and it’s driving me insane

happy Monday, just wanted to let you all know that a player named Priscila Chinchilla scored seven goals in a match for the Costa Rican national team

The average cost of owning and operating a new car in the U.S. is approximately $11,577 annually, or $965 per month, according to 2025 AAA data.

OpenAI touts Amazon alliance in memo, says Microsoft has 'limited our ability' to reach clients

“.. Share of consumers saying their financial situation is worse compared to a year ago due to higher prices jumped to 54% in April vs. 47% in March … now highest on record.” (via Schwab) #UMich

"America will be a country of consequences" is a message that I think would really resonate

Cementing in a higher level of baseline inflation as the “new normal.”

BRUSUELAS: “.. Six weeks into the attacks on energy facilities in the Middle East, and on top of the obvious increases in the cost of food and gasoline, consumers now expect inflation to increase from 3.3% to 4.8% over the next 12 months.” @joebrusuelas.bsky.social #UMich

How can you write an article that frames a belligerent American president being at war with a benevolent American Pope (the Pope for Christ’s sake!) as anything other than a mental breakdown? This is practically fawning.

I mean, I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. The call doesn't depend on... whether the war is happening or not? The same target regardless of whether the economy is normal or if there's a global energy crisis? Isn't this just an admission that all the numbers are completely made up?
