The only minority that our political system protects is the wealthy.

the attempts to rig elections are going to get more blatant, not less, until such time as they are removed from office

Penguin Random House has started adding Bluesky as an option of where readers get book recs when they send out their Reader's Lounge surveys. We're slowly getting there 🙂‍↕️ 💙📚 #booksky

Baby squirrel melts in human hands: the neuroscience of tactile pleasure shared by all mammals

I really hate hearing about former politicians being "private citizens now, leave them alone." They are not former McDonald's employees being pestered about the price of fries. They had a real effect on the world that lingers long after they are gone.

The more things change The more they stay the same.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than abolishing the constitution on behalf of a corrupt dying pedophile who wants to be king.

What did people think he meant when he said Republicans just had to elect him this one time and then they would fix it so no one had to vote anymore? Like what other explanation was there?

I think it’s bad that the Republican Party has decided that people who disagree with Trump don’t have rights.

It was a mistake to put eugenicists in charge of the federal health system We see their eugenics in action in their push to roll back vaccines & antidepressants We see it in NIH leaders arguing there’s no need for pandemic preparedness—just tell people to be healthy & the strong will survive

You meant stupidest, not funniest.

I hate that gaming is becoming increasingly unaffordable. You can blame much of that on AI gobbling up RAM and other resources, as well as tariffs, and now the Iran war, making everything more expensive. I'm tied, boss.

Justin J. Pearson: “This new MAGA movement, it is an iteration of the Klan. It has mainstreamed racism, it has mainstreamed white supremacy, it has mainstreamed bigotry, homophobia, transphobia. It has mainstreamed all the worst of who we are as a country. This is a victory lap for white supremacy”

Let me get this straight. Red states can have a governor unilaterally suspend primaries, and GOP legislators draw maps without voter consent. But Virginia runs the most robust democratic process possible, a constitutional amendment via referendum, and the court throws it away?

The new Trump counterterrorism strategy document lists “left-wing extremists,” people with “radically pro-transgender” ideologies, and “anti-fascists” as top national security threats like ISIS. So if Trump is classing anti-fascists as terrorists, he is acknowledging his regime is fascist.. right ?

Republicans STILL peddle the stupid civics lie: “We’re a republic, NOT a democracy!” Buddy, it’s BOTH — a constitutional republic AND a representative democracy. That’s literally how it was designed. They just hate the word “democracy” because it reminds them tRump lost the popular vote… twice.

i love noticing the cultural shift behind which console is the most popular purely based on what people are playing in the background in the anime. i remember in 2000s psp was one of the more popular consoles to draw characters using. now its always legally distinct nintendo switch lol

Pretty cool how one side gets to cheat and the other isn’t allowed to win fairly

I don't understand why redistricting chosen by voters is illegal, but redistricting rammed through by a GOP governor is fine

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

"Those people are never satisfied. We gave them the right to vote. Now they want their votes to count." - the Republicans

They think racism will win it for them. That’s their narrative. That’s all they have left to offer their cult. And the sad thing is the cult believes it.

What ideas? Fascism??? GOP has no platform or ideas except making themselves and donors rich and jailing minorities.

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

Tennessee is literally proving the Confederate States have just been laying in wait, bidding their time to reinstate their racist oppressive agenda. Trump needs to stop comparing himself to the greatness of Lincoln, when all he's doing is trying to undo all the great Lincoln did. Fuck Trump 🖕

Never Forget as We Americans and other nationalities die.

Jesus Christ - Reform have had huge results in the elections. What the fuck is wrong with people seeing the horrible shit going on in America and thinking we want the same here?! 🫩

american government mysteriously only able to pass legislation quickly when it’s to disenfranchise voters

The problems with the US constitution are presumptions that: *the President isn't a: Child Gangster Sex abuser *Members of Congress act: In the interests of Americans In accordance with their duty Lawfully *Justices of the SCOTUS uphold the law All these are wrong in this administration.

Witnessing southern states rush to dismantle black voting power is truly truly some heartbreaking shit to behold

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

A new #cribbage board arrived today, a lot larger than I expected. A standard sized board is here for comparison. So beautiful, though, and I'm going to have fun playing with it.

Simply a legend. Norm ushered in an era of exploring video game history that popularized the concept to the forefront of YouTube. His style and presentation is unmatched. 🫡

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

For the first time ever in decades of having penpals I've received a letter that was opened and examined by authorities. 😳

I'm sure a "Genie" wouldn't have screwed up by having a completely different truck in every freaking shot like an idiot.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially sold more than the Sega Dreamcast. In less than half a year they surpassed what took Sega years to accomplish.

Yes, this is how I enjoy spending my free time. ♠️❤️♣️♦️

I had a great run on #Balatro today!
