the obsession among idiots (you see it on tiktok constantly) over how the subway is "too expensive" is insane, it's $3! If you ride it the maximum amount every week it'll cost $1768 a year! You can get reduced fares if you're low income! It's effectively cheaper than almost every peer city!

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

In the city, we are at the office, working, at 10AM. Meanwhile, in real America,,,

It's worrisome if professional journalists cannot differentiate between the various senses of the word "can't"

@eliasisquith.blog is 1000% correct here, and to add on, Walz is emphatically NOT saying people should stop doing what they are doing, which is how this illiterate website reads it

everything is so goddamn stupid

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to: 1. Film ICE in public 2. Photograph ICE in public 3. Observe what ICE does in public ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

logging on to the text based website to teach people how to read words good

when people are more or less saying to the regime, "shoot me, motherfucker," the regime has already lost, the regime just doesn't know it yet

honestly trying either of these things is probably the end of trump's presidency, one way or another

she screm

Because the video is unsourced with no verifying information, I did some investigating. I'd say it is almost certainly real and not AI. Location is very real. I don't have words for how scummy ICE agents are maps.app.goo.gl/3ecbf5b5CGEz...

I really deeply wish certain people could get it through their heads that chanting explicit support of hamas outside a jewish event made it completely impossible for their political allies to condemn what was said in return and the land sales without both-sidesing the issue and making it pointless

gotta say, the vice president saying "watch this" about a video that ends with a dead mother being called a "fucking bitch" is [unprintable]

my take on the day's events

What time is it? The clocks don't say but it's late.

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility. There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified. This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

listen: billy pilgrim has come unstuck from material conditions

Me trying to justify being on X with its non-consensual porn and CSAM generator: “I’m just there for the Nazi content.”

isn't this what the online "do something, primary everyone" crowd wanted? blaming "DC Dems" for (potentially) this site getting what they wanted is fucking wild posting

Jeffries: "The Constitution isn't a matter of inconvenience. It is a requirement. George Washington in his farewell address to the nation made clear that the Constitution is sacredly obligatory upon all. That means everybody. There is no Trump exception."

I agree that 20 Republicans could join Democrats to end this in a day if they chose to and it's insane that the Republicans don't do it

Trump ordering an illegal operation to kidnap the President of Venezuela, then going on TV to declare we're presently occupying the country, when there is not a single troop on the ground in Venezuela, is probably the most insane thing that's happened in nearly 40 years alive on this planet?

there’s a “rhetorical squishiness for me, not for thee” thing that really gets under my skin where it’s gauche to say, even in a statement strongly opposing the invasion, that Maduro is bad from people who thought critical support to Harris against Trump was not only gauche but actively harmful

To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.

Wait what

Apiary (aka Bees! In! Space!)! Very delightful, very aesthetically pleasing, very thematic and strategic #boardgames

A thing that's moderately deranging is that everyone in NYC freaks out when the fare goes up, which it will in a few days. From $2.90 to $3. Nobody will be deterred from using transit or paying over 10 cents! That's just not true!

Are you in a position to receive information that may impart seasonal joy?

A rollicking game of Cross Bronx Expressway played just south of Rikers Island (we lost, but I would've won) #boardgames

Bowl season is the most wonderful time of the year. Savor the good while you can, because before you know it you're gonna have to watch Alabama and Oklahoma set the game of football back a century

Too many people these days elevating their preferences to ideology imo

conspiratorially posting about "the DNC!" or "consultants!" is a sign your brain is rotted through so entirely I can't take a word you say seriously you're at most two steps from calling Democrats "controlled opposition" or "just as bad as Republicans"

he says 7% now but does he realize that the open enrollment period for many employers is right before the midterms and if the marketplace subsidies aren't returned the costs will be borne by everyone on employer plans?

the replies here are going to be a good honeypot for blocks

If you think this dangerous saber rattling will be popular, will legitimize the Trump regime's wildly unpopular domestic policies, or that Americans will sign up in lock step for an idiotic illegal war with Venezuela with zero work to legitimize it, then I suggest deleting your accounts, forever

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

Arcs is one of the tightest board game experiences I've ever had #boardgames

No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

I was prepared for precisely none of this, and this direct quote from Nuzzi does not in fact prepare you for anything

Alabama at Oklahoma is going to be such a shit show, it'll set the game of football back a century. Two inept offenses smashing their heads into the wall for three hours

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.
