Graham Platner reminds us that the consistent stumbling block for the progressive cause is not the centrist or liberal, but a lack of respect for marginalized communities to whom they feel no allegiance, yet demand their obsequi. And when those communities don't fall in line they're called stupid...

A problem with militarized police that many people don't think about is that even in situations where it's theoretically possible to hold law enforcement officers & agencies accountable, it's extremely difficult to even figure out which agency the cop who brutalized you works for.

For overseas followers: in Ireland every seven years we vote for someone to tell the Government they are a bunch of evil clowns and every five years we vote in the evil clowns.

it's never occurred to them. they have zero idea that in the lawless, anti science, brutal world they seek to usher in, defective weirdos like them would have been used for food and firewood

This is pretty incredible.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

I've seen enough, the Jazz are 2025-2026 NBA champs.

Keyonte George leading the league in assists and Walker Kessler leading the league in 3s wasn't on my bingo card but I'll take it.

Willy is rip roaring and ready to go for his first Jazz game.

Pelicans, Raptors, and Hornets all winning their first game would be an interesting start to the season that I wasn't expecting.

If you're looking for new shithead companies to boycott:

I think that people should genuinely engage in a thought exercise wrt how the party that’s supposed to be in opposition to Republican authoritarianism keeps finding themselves with Fettermans, Sinemas, Liebermans, and potentially but hopefully not The Nazi Tattoo guy while fascists never break rank.

Blocked by this loser for pointing out something that shouldn't be controversial in the slightest. 🤷‍♂️

Happy Ace Bailey ROY Campaign Starts Now day to all who celebrate.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

“Once my colleague pulled out his camera, the agent put away the gun," Huynh told the Sun-Times Tuesday night. "[But] if they can do this in broad daylight to an elected official, and point a gun at someone, imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.”

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.

"Loads of guys in the military have tattoos like that" is an argument against the culture of the US military, not an argument for chilling out about Nazi tattoos.

Hey, have some good news: apnews.com/article/righ...

centrist: Where do we go from here? We have to find common ground. We can't just call the other group "Nazis." At the end of the day, we're all just rich white men with podcasts. Republican lawmaker: Welcome to Hitler Chat. I'm Hitler Republican lawmaker 2: Hello. I am Hitler as well.

Add travel to the endless list of shit techbros don't understand about being a human being.

Get in loser we're replacing Taft-Hartley with Johnson-Mamdani.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

If you're in need of a little pick me up today, watch this piece of shit eat pavement twice.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.” 🎁link

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

I don’t think liberals should clutch pearls about the Trump AI jet video but I do think they should call him a huge fucking loser as often as possible because it’s the more normal reaction

Oh wow

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

My quote of the day Robert Redford

The internet has its moments but giving the worst people a man equal platform was a mistake.

I will not vote for any candidate in 2028 who does not make it a campaign promise to prosecute all of Trump's goons to the full extent of the law. Electing someone in 2020 who didn't want to do that is a big reason why we're in this situation currently

What was that move from Walker?!

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

I'm going to say something controversial here so brace yourself: all 3 Tron movies are really fun* and you should go see Ares in a theater. *Cheesy dumb fun, but it still counts

AOC has just officially become the top House fundraiser, beating out Hakeem Jeffries. Now lemme take a big sip of coffee as I look at the age distribution of donors to AOC vs Jeffries

They've got the Arc de Triomphe, we have the Arch of Trumpdom

Fvck every corporate Democrat

Liberals and conservatives both love the British royal family, and I think that goes a long way to explain why we're in the mess we're in right now.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

“Physician payments” might make this sound less serious than it is. 150M Americans are covered by Medicare & Medicaid (CMS), close to half of all healthcare coverage. 98% of hospitals accept CMS, and the majority rely on it because it’s the biggest insurer by far. (And healthcare is 20% of US GDP.)

Nearly 6 billion people live in the 101 countries that a recent study has identified as confronting a net decline in water supply — signaling enormous challenges for food production and a heightening risk of conflict and instability. (Published July)

Yo @benshoops.bsky.social "OK I'll take raspberries" is the 2nd best thing to come out of your show just behind the Mammoth impersonation.

It's not just the corruption it's the pedophilia it's not just the pedophilia it's the gerrymandering it's not just the gerrymandering it's the ICE/Brownshirts it's not just the ICE/Brownshirts it's the incoming economic disaster it's not just the incoming economic disaster goddamn I need to logoff

Where can I apply for this bodyguard job?

I wasn't sure life could get any worse but I've had the world's worst song stuck in my head for 4 days now.

So if chatGPT can now generate erotica, that means it'll be blocked by payment processors the same as human artists and writers have been, right?
