exercising my god given right under the constitution to live mas and get baja blasted

and now, your moment of zen. 🎥 (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYhEwUvv67q/)

The idea that race and partisanship would be too entangled to identify voting restrictions as racist would have seemed absurd to the authors of the 15th Amendment, given that it was itself adopted at a time of racist partisan disenfranchisement www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Between our dry winter and this article I’m very nervous about August

It’s super easy to make statements like “they run the government” and “they sent me over there” bc it removes your responsibility and lets everyone insert their own version of who “they” are

Bruh

There's so much evidence that speed cameras save lives, but they also make a small number of drivers angry and are ripe fodder for the culture wars, so it's impossible to say if they're good or not.

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

That’s so petty and insulting wow

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

Extremely weird how often I see people on here trying to describe AI as a "scam" The technology works. Full stop. The earlier models had major issues, but AI has been *very* good since late last year. Oppose it if you must, but at least understand the reality of the situation.

RFKjr shockingly dangerous campaign to hurt kids: -don't get vaccines -rot your teeth with unfluoridated water -drink raw milk crawling with bacteria -fry your skin on a tanning bed so you are at risk for skin cancer. www.latimes.com/science/stor...

The GameStop CEO’s big plan to buy eBay.

thinking again about this. so many things about Trump are like this, a nested fractal of stupidity, madness, and lies

this is straightforwardly impeachable conduct

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

this is catastrophically untrue, and the fact that it's even come close to picking up currency on the left is a complete disaster for leftist governance. if you expropriated the entire wealth of every billionaire in the country, you could pay for the federal government for one year. that's it.

Such fucking loser energy

the year is 2077 the entire tax base is paid for by 372 salaried office workers in Milwaukee they collectively owe the US government $73.4 trillion

and now for something completely different

I’m actually willing to take this a step further - the goals of progressive politics and good governance are founded in high trust, and by extension the Democratic Party has to be the high trust party. You don’t achieve any of our goals with conspiratorial thinking because its inherently reactionary

I think that we should simply run on prosecuting the rich for their crimes instead of creating a low trust society that will sow the seeds for further fascism

Hyped for my “liberal slash communist mayor” @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social to add some Red paint to Denny Way in honor of communism

"This is one of my favorite moments as mayor, announcing this project," Katie Wilson says taking the stage at the Route 8 bus lane announcement. She calls out past advocacy with the Transit Rider's Union and the MASS coalition. She says progress to date has been "frustratingly slow."

Maybe the media can decide to make this a scandal one of these days

faux liberalism (ezra klein) vs actual liberalism (mill)

Interesting take on the affordability discourse. And even ignoring affordability opening our auto market would help in many ways - more options for buyers that aren’t huge SUVs and trucks - better EV tech - potentially reducing the power of the dealership

no one wants to hear it but r/nba has some of the greatest minds of our time

This is the crossover event I’ve been waiting for

Note that the ONLY action item on the Tree Action website is to help gather signatures for a petition to create a new layer of bureaucracy. Here are the skills they are looking for. Notice anything missing? Like maybe um hmmmmm PLANTING TREES?

This side-by-side is simultaneously unbelievable and extremely believable

The Secretary of State attending a UFC fight while wartime diplomatic negotiations fail would generate an explosive, front-page, above-the-fold headline for any previous administration

Again there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of the JOE BIDEN EPICALLY AND INCOMPETENTLY FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN coverage of August/September 2021 & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran & Trump now.

It's going to be a wild summer.

Literally the GOAT

Busted being an idiot

They were as dumb as they looked

I think the big obstacle in this approach is that the supreme court helped Trump do all that stuff and will prevent Biden from doing that. The same way courts ordered mask mandates ended early but used the pandemic as justification to force Biden to keep Trump era policies for CBP and ICE in place

Why'd the Confederates fight? They told us

We are simply not going to get free of this until our political class accepts the fact that the entire GOP led us here and must be destroyed.

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

Please don't run really smart guys like Mark off the platform because you can't read or are addicted to getting mad online

That's right

it’s kind of insane that vehicles just do that on their own. they’re just roving the countryside, no one behind the wheel, killing a pedestrian every 72 minutes

operator: 911, please state the nature of your emergency me: there’s a site i go to a lot that isn’t the best way to follow breaking news operator: is it a news site me: not really operator: why don’t you go to a news site me: i don’t know operator: jesus. ok. how many ambulances do you want me: 75

The great Pacific Northwest nailed the assignment (1/2) Seattle

So yeah I dunno who needs to hear this but Hasan's entire modus operandi is to never be satisfied with literally any Dem candidate ever, and THIS kind of shit is an attempt to force his ratfuckery into a more prominent, respected position.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...
