ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI. Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

It's October 1st, so time to bring out a classic. www.youtube.com/shorts/-dxIq...

It is time. (properly this time)

Pete Hegseth was just a staff officer. He never held a command position; he was never in leadership. He’s the ultimate, living proof of the so appropriately named Peter Principle.

Mike Johnson cancels votes, locks doors to U.S. House as he has refuses bipartisan negotiations to keep the gov't open

This is who Chuck Schumer thought he was going to negotiate with I am sick of Democratic leaders who have no idea the level of danger this country is in and how far we have fallen from the democracy we had just 12 years ago

Same as it ever was.

If trans rights get taken away then that opens the door for them to take away others’ rights also. Saying trans rights are human rights is not hyperbole or an exaggeration because you know it’s not so don’t leave anything to chance. especially when dealing with legitimately gleefully evil people.

These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care. #DidThisToday

The nice thing about the old man being so fucking senile is when he recycles a nonsensical policy announcement I can recycle my op-ed about it www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

MrBeast nearly burning a man to death and EA buckling under the leveraged buyout from hell are the exact same problem expressed differently. The rich will burn everything if it makes them a single extra dollar or feel one emotion, and they must be stopped

Welp, EA is now owned by a group including the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and Trump's son in law Jared Kushner (CEO of Affinity Partners). Good luck Bioware - I wish your brand of queer centric RPGs good luck... www.eurogamer.net/ea-privately...

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

All right. It's Saturday night. I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix tape. Let's rock.

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes? EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep. Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like? EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick. kotaku.com/report-saudi...

UNSURE IF THERE’S AN AUDIENCE?! WHO MAKES THESE DECISIONS?!

REPUBLICANS: “Jimmy Kimmel was not a free speech issue. It was a private decision.” TRUMP: “I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL THAT SHOW! NOW I’M GONNA TAKE ALL THE FREE SPEECH ABC HAS! NO MORE SAYING WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME” REPUBLICANS: “It is ridiculous to imply we are the party of censorship.”

Disney reverses course on Kimmel. Lessons: -Trump's anti-Constitutional stances, anti-1A in this case, are unpopular -Popular resistance via expression and spending choices can have an impact -Many corporate leaders are weak, amoral people who'll bow to threats unless they face countervailing ones

Hilarious. My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you. What you do with this information is between you and God.

What movie do you consider "perfect?"

All right. It's Saturday night. I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix tape. Let's rock.

@linkara.bsky.social @ultraviolet.bsky.social @moveon.org @aclu.org Y'all need to spread the word on this and fight back NOW.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

They ARE allowed to do exactly that, and every single reporter there should have told him so.

if the democratic party were led by van hollen instead of chuck schumer or hakeem jeffries right now democratic party approval rating would fly through the roof

BREAKING: At least 11 Democratic New York lawmakers and local officials were taken into custody by DHS officers after demanding access to an ICE detention facility. The officials joined immigrant rights organizers to spotlight ICE’s operations in the building.

In the wake of the last few days news and the blood and suppression the GOP is calling for, you would think democrats would be thinking twice about section 230 and the tools they would be handing over with KOSA

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

The best Comic Book Guy joke, and I will die on this hill.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Your local library is full of media that the president hates but can't use his regulatory power to get rid of.

At the highest stakes moment since 1860, Schumer and Jeffries are completely failing the country.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Whether you’ve moved across town or across the nation, now’s the time to check your voter registration. Many states are purging registration files, so, today would be a great day to make sure that your right to vote hasn’t been stolen! nationalvoterregistrationday.org

Season 2 Episode 22 - Frame 2284 out of 2631

JD Vance lying his fake hillbilly ass off about left vs. right terrorism would be instantly challenged in every major outlet if we had a functional press. It's that absurd

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

Since the topic has been broached, I'd say it's past due for me to do a proper thread on queer representation in WoW. More specifically, how it is... lacking, to put it nicely, in The War Within. 🧵

Here is JD Vance today calling on Republicans to call people's employers and get them fired if they are saying things about Charlie Kirk that they don't like. This is the first step in the GOP's weaponization of Kirk's murder to silence dissent. It won't be the last.

This should be like a 19 alarm fire for American civil society and media

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.
