Private equity ruins everything

What we are doing to Canada is incredibly frustrating and infuriating

Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

President Trump just gave a speech about voter fraud. Someone has been committing voter fraud — and his name is Ken Paxton. He was just caught voting from the wrong address 6 elections in a row. If the President wants to investigate voter fraud, he should start with Ken Paxton.

burn it all down

they are going to invade Cuba. My brain hurts from the stupidity.

17 US service members have now been killed in Trump’s reckless war with Iran. Congress already voted to end this conflict—we must cut off all funding now.

i truly believe that the federal government is now not doing a single good thing in the world and that is pathetic.

if a democrat used a racial slur, would we still need to get behind that democrat because "the republicans are worse"? i can tell you that as a black person, i would not. there are things more important than party identity. why are we asking transgender people to do any different?

New Mexico should erect plaques along the Texas border welcoming the tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, these beloved humans treated as refuse by these Texan tyrants, punished by their state for the crimes of becoming family. www.austinchronicle.com/news/texas-g...

Fellow Americans, behold the United States President, opining with all the maturity, dignity and splendor of his high office:

Ahh, yes, my favorite clause in the Constitution: "COMPLY OR DIE"

This is the sort of thing that sounds sensible to a LOT of normal, decent people, yet is monstrous & criminal.

Whats worse... A single Democratic loss in a statewide race to a right-wing governor? Or a Democratic Party win in Ohio that uses transphobia to get there, teaching dems across the country that this is a new acceptable tactic? The latter results in no party left to fight for us.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

this is fucking insane and we are all going to be sick while they just pay off this administration. monsters

This MF is responsible for more deaths than there are trans people in the United States. He's putting up Hitler numbers. So maybe he should shut up before spouting lies like this.

matthew always brings the receipts

This seems important?

the new york times legal team wouldn't sign off on this assessment if the reporters didn't have hard evidence backing it. just a massive red flag that screams corruption to me

It's always been fuck NPR too. No better than the NYT. News from nowhere for fash-curious wealthy libs.

these are war crimes being done in our name. Someone has to make these maniacs stop.

Polymarket lets people bet on wildfires. Wildfires that those samepeople could easily set in order to win money on this illegal gambling site. Big Tech is organized crime.

Imagine training a bunch of students to be highly qualified professionals and then being like "great, please go take those new skills to all of our competitors"

This is going to escalate and there is no one in charge capable of thinking more steps ahead than what they think sounds cool when they say it on twitter. That’s terrifying, but Clinton and Harris explicitly stated why this fascist moron couldn’t be given nukes and the voters said “lol, who cares”

It's the "hashtag Jews" that makes this an all-timer.

"On Thursday evening, Taylor Farms executives met with the White House and Food and Drug Administration to try to distance the company from the outbreak and air concerns about the official investigations into the outbreak." rather than protecting consumers. Monsters

a) evil b) counterintelligence nightmare

they are purging the government of queer people.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

I hit up a friend in Toronto to see how they were dealing with the smoke and in their text back they said they were sad not to visit NYC this summer like he usually has but he doesn't feel safe in the US and that made me tear up.

Also, if you want a good structural explanation of when trust in all the institutions started to 📉, the answer is Dec 12, 2000, when we learned our votes don't actually count & the baseline rules of the game weren't actually the rules of the game & the institutions were nothing but norms & duct tape

The detail I can’t get out of my head here is how he told his ex-wife that he had been hired by ICE, but she thought he must have been having a delusion, because how could ICE hire someone who had such a long history of family violence?

To every New Yorker: this rule is not yet in effect. The earliest it could take effect is Sept. 18, 2026. New York City will use every tool at our disposal to fight this attack on immigrant families and the communities that make our city the greatest on earth.

Minnesota will always protect your right to vote. We will continue to have the freest and fairest elections, and we will continue to lead the nation in voter turnout.

Donald Trump and his administration have done nothing to bring down the cost of housing, health care, child care, food, or gas. Donald Trump and his administration got America into a war the people do not want. He is attempting to distract you from that reality.

It's not that I think they have a super-secret plan to overturn the elections and seize power, but you're watching an entire political party, from top to bottom, meme itself into convincing itself that its opponents are inherently illegitimate, and that road doesn't go anywhere good.

this this this this this

GOP senators are like “some of these assholes in the chamber were not legitimately elected” and when they die Dems will be like “my dearest colleagues were truly good people deep down and a hoot at lunch”

For a lot of these food recalls and outbreaks, we’re still in the first year of what deregulation looks like. All of DOGE’s cuts led us here—and fast. There was a level of basic health and safety we took for granted that unregulated corporations will never provide for us on their own.

let me guess: they are all democrats.

JUST IN: NBC and ABC Will Not Air Trump’s Primetime Address Live www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

Not that anyone cares but yes this is illegal

I'm getting mixed signals. Should they broadcast Trump's speech, or do they have an obligation to operate in the public interest? Because they sure as hell can't do both.

as historic heat waves, historic air quality events and extinction events happen it is wild to know that I am living through the actual end of human life on earth as we know it.

Trans people have always and will always exist. Gender-affirming care is incredibly important. It should be a decision between individuals, families, and doctors — not the government.

I'm hopeful people will finally realize that Serkis sucks and has always sucked, whether it is trying to declare the work of animators irrelevant to his performance as Gollum or the fact that he directed a godawful Animal Farm for Angel or this latest embarrassment. Dude's a chuddy dolt.

Having been in the army at one point in my life there's part of me that's weirdly impressed at how Pete Hegseth has found ways to make it even dumber
