The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

God, I hate these assholes for ruining our planet.

Honestly the full-body disgust and horror I felt the first time I saw a post from that man, went to block who I had assumed was a random racist asshole of no consequence, and saw he was a former Gorsuch clerk and Grassley's Chief Counsel for nominations and now advises Trump on judicial nominations

In the Times today there’s an op-ed saying that childless women may have legitimate “private” reasons for declining to give birth. But one reason I have is not private but explicitly political: I want my life to serve as a rebuke to the notion that childbearing is women’s highest or truest calling.

Democrats should carpet bomb the Midwest with ads of this clip during the closing stretch of the 2026 campaign.

Agree

I loathe these monstrous people with every fiber of my being.

The Leahy law is being killed off. "The US State Department has removed an online portal for reporting alleged human rights violations by foreign military units supplied with American weapons." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Lit up by the moon, it looked celestial; seemed some plumed and glittering god uprising from the sea.

Had a long conversation with kid1 (almost 13) about SNAP benefits while I added ramen and easy mac to our Halloween candy stash. He led the convo from ICE and folks being disappeared to the president and human rights to voting and immigration. The kids are listening. They're seeing what's going on.

[monster in a scary movie finally pops out of the shadows] Me: oh shit! [monster hands the protagonist a stack of unpaid medical bills] Me: OH SHIT!

Dr Strangelove is on, and I’m on a second cocktail.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

From June Lockhart’s NY Times obit. RIP to a real one.

imagine inheriting wealth from the last gilded age of oligarchy and cutting Trump $130 million walking around money checks instead of funding libraries and universities like your ancestors had the shame to

I wonder if he will add a sitting room for himself and Stephen Miller gets his own room, too.

This is more than just a list of those paying tribute. It is a list of the people and corporations who paid for the demolition of the historic East Wing of the White House. They’d love to disclaim that, but Everything Trump Touches Dies™️, and they knew that going in. Everyone does. #ETTD

Well, in a certain way, Trump achieved what the flight 93 hijackers could not

The destruction of the White House is such an ungodly abomination that, of course, the New York Jets are involved.

As Paul Weiss, Paramount, anyone who has capitulated to Trump has learned — it never ends. You are giving up your principles and (at least in the case of law firms and universities) reason for existence, and you are getting nothing in return other than letting Trump know you will give in.

59% of Americans - including 80% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans - think the U.S. should recognize Palestinian statehood. This comes as both the Democratic and Republican parties oppose unilateral recognition. Reuters/Ipsos poll

Quite the kicker:

Donald Trump Continues His Campaign of Improving And Preserving Historic American Sites By Demolishing East Wing —Tomorrow in the New York Times

He's going to take money from my importation business (in the form of tariffs) and give it to other Americans who don't import goods. Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is just wealth redistribution Republicans claim to despise. *At the expense of small businesses.*

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

$40 billion to Argentina’s right-wing government. The entire USAID budget was $34 billion.

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered. levernews.com/book

Almost 12 years of the russian war, 4 years of full-scale invasion. Endless footage of russian war crimes, many of which were filmed and posted by the invaders themselves, bragging about their impunity and the world's impotence. Innocent people are being hunted and targeted every day.

This is so fucking awful. The cruelty of course being the point

me: kierkegaard said the most painful state of being is remembering a future you'll never have unaging sea witch holding me captive in her stony crag amidst the surging tide: you gonna finish that seagull?

“we will provide you with company owned housing, roommates you don’t get to choose, and pay for your meals, and in exchange you work 12 hours per day, every day”, yeah, man, i know about company towns and company stores, hardest of hard passes

I know why. It’s supposedly cursed The story of the Regent diamond is absolutely bonkers

Businesses choose what jobs they take. ACECO chose to take this one. They can choose not to. 2/ archive.is/y7ng8

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

The White House (2028)

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

What they are talking about is for all intents and purposes ship money. As in part of why Charles Stuart was beheaded.

She alleged in the past that it was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak but we can’t know that for sure because Trump, Bondi, Patel and Johnson are hiding this person’s identity from the public by blocking release of the Epstein files. Whoever it is. For some reason.
