congressional democrats didn't give a fuck that we double tapped an elementary school last week with tomahawk missles and killed almost 200 little kids but they're about to express the purest outrage today because Line Go Down

if you gave amtrak 5% of the military budget every year it would have received more money in two years than it has in its entire existence up to that point

gas is going to be at mid-2022 prices by the end of the month. another big win for the treatlerite class

well it's not 2009 and i'm not 16 so no can't say i am

"I fear some [council members] are indifferent." Have you paid someone's rent, organized a fundraiser, gone on patrol, found someone an attorney, done someone's laundry, delivered groceries, held a baby of someone sheltering in fear? "If not you may be too far removed to have good judgment."

I don’t think it’s insane, it’s the phones. The average person doesn’t rationalize things as statistics, they respond to things they can see and algorithmic video is full of videos of crime and unruly cities that they interpret as things getting worse because they’re seeing it more on their phones.

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it. The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday. (📸 Middle East Observer)

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

I see it as a problem that the leader of the Senate Democrats supports attacking Iran, which is the situation behind all these windy words, leading to the conundrum of how Schumer can say he opposes something he likes (he's settled on 'it was done without explanation').

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.

the european elite are just as feckless, venal, and cowardly as ours—it’s all the same class of people invested in the same stuff, vacationing in the same spots, and reading the same garbage—and they are raring to cave just like ours have

Lenin’s assertion that imperialism is the central question of our period of capitalism continues to be disgustingly confirmed repeatedly

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

I wish every american and israeli person cheering this on a very “die in the war you created”

it should not have cost this much

Just a note for everyone outside the Twin Cities: Yes, ICE is still here harassing and kidnapping our neighbors

new pokemon take:

Guys don’t worry. Monopoly means we have to take over less companies to do socialism. All according to plan

rep angie craig, running for US senate, spoke to UMN student dems in last night and finally had to address her vote in favor of the laken riley act! she was asked if she regretted it, or if her opinion had changed, and she said NO even after all the terror ICE brought to MN!

Woke 2 needs to include a complete and total purge of post-GG 4chan influence on our culture.

I can't believe a guy who doesn't believe in school would use a metaphor that doesn't make any sense

rather than subject myself to the livetweets of trump’s ramblings, I will be seeing nirvanna: the band: the show: the movie at my local theater

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

so it was written. so it will be

"Up next, figure skating. What are they trying to figure out? Is it where all the hockey sticks and hockey pucks went. Two minutes in the penalty box, those skirts are not regulation equipment." "They adhere to strict—" "Or is it the figure of the skaters, the shapely—" "<nervous laughter> No"

Yeah man it all sounds pretty fucking stupid when you put it like that, doesn't it

Uh, I'm pretty sure a guy who looked like this went on national TV and told me that the ICE surge was over, that the people of Minneapolis had driven them out, despite absolutely no evidence and only the word of noted liar Tom Homan

the computer should have never left this room. we have to go back

the glorious constitutional principle of "the president can't fuck with Supreme Court justices' investment portfolios" stands strong

Now, far be it from me to say that you can play Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green for free, and that they are some of the most extensively modded games in human history, both for QoL and full game transformations, but It may be possible that your Pokemon money is better spent on a Pikachu plush

It would be a lot easier for people to “shop local” if we weren't already spending a bunch of money fundraising to keep our neighbors in their homes and fed because Gov Walz refuses to do an eviction moratorium.

I refuse to accept a future where we continue to do this.

staring at the screen, no ideas, the empty prompt window confronting you with your own mediocrity -- welcome to the work, chump, you loser.

It just struck me that newspaper comic strips were sort of proto-posting: you come up with a joke every single day and eventually you either mellow out or become completely insane

Same set that told you shoplifting required a full police state.

iterating as an artist: trying to nail the perfect blue by trying a dozen different colors and seeing what other artists have used iterating with AI: being suggested non-existent colors that are also nazis

currently imagining the year is 2005 and people who loathe george w bush are announcing they'd set aside all their core moral beliefs to vote for joe lieberman. like why lol

it’s so cool that the tech world is driving themselves miserable and insane to build apps

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

we need to start saying the whole word again. “fanatic”

no one actually watches or listens to the young turks and yet they’re still there. like movie theater candies that can’t possibly be profitable but still stick around like someone is going to buy a $12 box of Dots that expired two years ago
