The loser chud epidemic in America is fueled by our car dependency

Call it what it is. Door to door concentration camp round ups. You know when the full record comes to light there *will* be horrifying degrees of intentional genocide of non-whites in ICE facilities due if nothing else to over crowding. It is happening.

The Regime wants Greenland so they can isolate Canada from Europe. With Greenland, Europe has an air corridor to Canada. In a war against Russia or China, the US can already use Greenland so owning it is pointless. In a war against Canada and Europe, Greenland is an unsinkable missile battery.

Big Uruguay news. At least some people in this world are still trying to help things be better.

Superstition xkcd.com/3191/

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

So I'm definitely of the opinion that Die Hard is a christmas movie, and it's for a reason that I don't see talked about. It's a really quick scene towards the start of the movie between McClain and Argyle.

🎅🏼

A very timely reminder that anonymity and open access are not only necessary for the internet, but for democracy

Ngl this is exactly the kinda shit that makes us non-total POS white people feel the need to apologize.

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

The good news: authoritarian capitalists can't change the laws of physics. 2025 was still a record year for solar installation in the US, despite whatever the uneducated goons in the white house want. www.utilitydive.com/news/solar-g...

All three branches of the federal government’s relationship with American citizens is basically a hostage situation

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

The hegemonic transition? That train has left the station, buddy.

the biggest lie in american politics, probably only second to bush lying us into iraq, has been democrats constantly telling us "we just can't..." only to watch republicans do whatever the fuck they want over and over and over. makes me sick.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

The very stupid-on-its-face OU essay "scandal" is about forcing a trans person out of higher ed, and discussing the actual essay is acceding to the fascist framing of the issue and arguing on their terms. Students get bad grades every day which, no matter how dubious, do not result in firings.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months. All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

has anyone responded to this point yet? ie, that the reactionary centrist strategy has chaterstrophocally failed in the UK i've made it, @michaelhobbes.bsky.social , @jamellebouie.net & others have www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/appeasement

By turning it into a cultural issue rather than a material one with only one cogent side

"Memo to Democrats: This Is a War and Not a Moment for Peacetime Generals." The absurd culture of the Senate has produced a Democratic caucus of wimpy pushovers, writes @ryanlcooper.com: zeteo.com/p/centrist-s...

The GOP is petrified of Zohran Mamdani because they know once democratic socialism works here, as it has in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, they will never be elected again.

I'm out. Vote Kiros.

AI and Crypto data centers need to be the first ones to lose power in a brown out.

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism. I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists. I know where my allegiance lies.

God bless the Koreans for making my phone, on-budget nuclear reactors, and this sick burn.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

Through various accounts, we've been warning that the failure to hold these criminals accountable since Bush decided to torture people was a slide into fascism. Here we are, all while they aim the military at their own people. Wake up!

The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.

The founders were so wary of unilateral taxation the constitution requires all taxes originate in the people’s chamber. Does the constitution allow Congress to delegate to POTUS the power to unilaterally change income tax rates? If not, why tariffs? They were ~90% of revenue when it was written.

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

This is impeachable. No gray area.

Just for the record, I don't even like playing as germany in ww2 games and all my planned tattoos are shipwreck-themed.

I’ve seen the skeet about this principle. I concur. Seeing a preteen develop up close the last year or so has added a lot to my perspective on how adults behave. These people are truly just small humans having big emotions they cannot process because they have permissive emotionally absent parents.

This didn't get coverage outside of Politico and MSNBC, but it looks promising WRT shutdown: "Eleven House Republicans signed onto a letter Tuesday calling for Speaker Mike Johnson to make a deal on the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, saying that their districts will suffer without them."

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

Keynesianism is like Ozempic in that it's something that works but makes people mad because they want moral hazard to be involved

a lazy cynical affect is one of the worst things you can do to yourself as a reporter or analyst, it will corrode not only your work but your soul.

Given the news, a suggested revision:

we're about to enter a greater depression than the 1930s & it's all because the biggest, most successful western companies on the planet felt it necessary to make the line go up their ad based revenue was already dwindling. their ludicrous gamble on LLMs is going to obliterate the global economy

In 2025, the Front Range exceeded federal limits for ground-level ozone on 23 days between late May and early September. That’s compared with 41 days in 2024, and an average of 35 days per year over the last decade.
