ah, yes, democratic corporate donors. who *isn’t* tired of hearing them tell you that you need to vote. when i hear “vote!” every election, i hear it in george soros’ voice, not the black lawmakers whose districts are getting eviscerated

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:

I wonder where "bench pressing the concept of the American prison system" puts you in the power rankings

so our options for Being Online Together are either all out, no holds barred, social total war, or liberal discourse norms, huh and we're picking the war?

i don't believe this, morale at ICE is still astronomically high relative to what it should be

This is actually a really tedious talking point that I'm sick of hearing so I want to break it down for everyone WA: Need a supermajority to change constitution, possible for '28 OR: Need a supermajority to prevent quorum bust, possible for '28 CO: Need voters to repeal commission, possible for '28

Is it? I feel like I’ve seen this headline, perhaps even literally word-for-word, on at least two prior occasions since 10/7

"no one wants to work at 3 am anymore". They never did!
