mutual aid as a replacement for the state is the electoral equivalent of believing in ethical consumption under capitalism, it makes you feel better about things but ultimately you aren't accomplishly anything beyond directly helping a small number of those in need

I think this is a place where you have conflicts between the technical definition of homelessness (mostly people temporarily in shelters) and the popular definition (people visibly and long term on the streets)

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

Israel’s strategy is to just do anti-Semitic conspiracy theory to everyone else

watched grand budapest hotel last night and could not stop thinking about this post every time Ralph Fiennes talked

what share of modern conservatism is "it's your fault for making me feel bad for my actions"

i long for the crime free cities of the uhhhhh 1960s

Genuinely shocked at a rule-of-law based result from this Court.

Musk is probably the only right winger to use “based” for its literal meaning

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.

Has anyone said Anna Paquin in The Irishman yet

if zohran mamdani isn't jewish then why is he doing what any other jew who got elected mayor would do and use his office to find ways to hang out with mandy patinkin

Larry Ellison will own a part of TikTok alongside the Chinese. Great job @schumer.senate.gov and team, you really solved the social media propaganda and privacy threat

By 2011 Epstein had already: -registered as a sex offender -plead guilty to solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18 -settled multiple civil lawsuits brought against him by victims www.npr.org/2025/07/25/n...

…does this not count as recognizing Palestine

The malicious compliance aspect of this is that students can apparently now submit a complaint against every professor in the university and shut the whole place down indefinitely.

not the point but why does nobody in the republican party know how the word wacky is spelled

everyone knows that there’s something very wrong with a $95k house right? That’s not what a house costs anywhere in the country

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in. KEEP IT UP.

My favorites are the moments where an otherwise polite audience is so engaged in a movie that they have to break the silence and cheer or gasp. That, to me, is the real case for the movie theater as a shared experience

Elite foreign intellectuals like David Frum hate us because of our freedom.

An yglesias flashback

incredible to see @seancasten.bsky.social post resist stuff on here all day and then vote for this

The House just voted for a bloated $900B Pentagon budget despite the fact that the Pentagon can't even pass an audit and despite the fact that Trump is getting ready for a war on Venezuela and despite the fact that so many people are about to lose health care. Here are the 115 Dem YES votes.

what does everyone saying stuff like this think should happen? the democrats should be fighting tooth and nail to prevent disengaged voters from realizing the impacts of republican policies?

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year. Now you're upset? Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

…vibe shift?

Woke 2 should include a temperance movement for online gambling

Blood Meridian (1985)

so like… a government insurer that pays for whatever doctor you want to go to?

everyone post rural Minneapolis bumpkins

I liked some things about seasons 2 and 3 but I really think the pandemic delays should have been the end of it

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.

"The CIA has denied the allegations of brutality among the units, saying they were the result of Taliban propaganda...However, USCIS used a Human Rights Watch report decrying the units as a reason to deny US citizenship to an Afghan soldier who had worked alongside American forces"

1/ No fall in migration will ever be enough because it’s about “immigration sentiment” & not “immigration levels”. U have anti-immigration far-right movements in countries with low or barely existent immigration, for e.g. Japan’s, Sanseito.

this woman looks like a @sweetstench.bsky.social drawing

proud to Officially be named a Friend of the Show. the benevolence of the mayor knows no bounds 🙏🏼

She was a true believer and the Epstein cover-up shattered her entire world lmao

I think powerful men should have to treat women in a way that is better than “not evidently criminal”

TAR was a documentary

it's probably bad that having an active mental breakdown is indistinguishable from becoming a rising star in the republican party

need a summit between convicted felon JD Vance and wine importer Bill De Blasio

Would love to see someone from the moderate, Majority Dem faction really address and wrestle with the political effects of what Labour has been up to.

Imagine showing this to the globalization theorists in the 1990s talking about “McWorld”
