What folks don’t want to admit is that what we’re experiencing is a pretty deliberate campaign to disqualify anyone left of center as “unserious” with frankly terrible results for what’s running up on four years now at least.

The first thing ICE did when it was created was raiding meat processing plants in the Midwest and south to help quell labor disputes over safety violations and keep those who weren't detained from getting legal protections as many had kids who grew up locally and were citizens with political power.

Ive finally gotten my resting heart rate below 60bpm.

My hot take is that I do not trust people who have not spent atleast 6 months working full time in retail/food service

When we rebuild after all of this, "lobbying" as a paid profession will be punishable by life in prison

Me when random app or whatever asks for a star rating: ok whatever 5 stars Me when it then says Thank You: stfu before I take it back

the problem with dedicating campaign funds toward charitable endeavors is what if you lose and then all you’ve done is helped people in need in your community?

Guy who has never studied history:

When you're old and you go for your first 10 mile run, you wake up the next day feeling like shit

If you are saying universal healthcare *cant* realistically happen with our current political system and economy you should be advocating for revolution to overthrow that system instead of being ok with no universal healthcare

HBOMAX FINALLY ADDED THE THUMBS DOWN FEATURE, YOU CAN THUMBS DOWN BILL MAHER NOW

Ran 10 miles today and boy are my legs tired

So true bestie

I finally caved and bought a PS5. $450 is probably as cheap as they are going to get, and with a $150 gift card I could justify it to myself lol. Now I'm ready for when GTA 6 comes out in 2064.

Back in my ironworker days I heard a foreman tell a guy "son, you are the very first time in human history that the child died and the after birth lived"

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

The most Christ-like Christmas message, delivered by the guy who bombed weddings

Stealing groceries is fine if you are hungry. Stealing groceries should be a capital offense if you are a part of the state's violence arm.

trump’s decision to change the name of the dod to the department of war was a horrific sign of his intentions, but it’s also the most honest move any US president has ever made. it’s been the department of war since day one. it’s never been defence, america is the world’s most violent aggressor

Such an unbelievable loser

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Mark Cuban is trending for being a silky soft adult man

The guitar I want to have made is closing in on $4,000 😬

Started my Xmas with something Jesus could never do -- 6 mile run.

Trump still has several hours to Do The Thing on xmas 🤞

Tiny Tim had hoes?

In which a rich man tells us that he has a relatively easy time talking to Nazis without a second of self-reflection

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!

If all of these new bluesky users are bailing from Twitter/X because of generative AI, maybe it'll bring a higher quality of poster than the Nov 24 Rachel Maddow bunch did

Remember how Stephen Miller had to jump into the final leg of a women's track meet to prove his masculinity? I like to think of how he was struggling for air while telling everyone how much of a man he is.

Every six months some guy says he’s figured out who the Zodiac Killer was and the answer is always the same: he was some guy

Maybe Ben Sasse should have to live long enough to witness the climate catastrophe he helped usher in for personal profit.

My Honda Civic could have done this no problem

waking up and seeing "oh yeah the President of the United States raped a 13 year old pregnant girl and was present when her newborn child was killed and disposed of in lake michigan" is wild, I hope the country collapses under its own weight soon because fuck, man

Trying to finish True Detective season 2 while still on the clock so that I can actually pay attention to what Ive been told is a much better season 3

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

How miserable does everyone think Trump is at this very moment?

I hate these lazy, stupid people so fucking much

Let's get on this 👇❤️‍🩹

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

Fair use.

great news on this, cait from 11 hours ago

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

call us old fashioned but, if you've built a machine that makes child porn, we really don't care if can do anything else. unplug the machine.
