those people clapped like seals to this shit Dana

He did not “accuse” them of it. He’s a judge. He “found” that they had, in fact, done so. JFC NPR, do better.

my political awakening was when a friend said "Charles, buddy, the opposite of progress? It's con-gress." that's when I went of the grid.

Honestly at this point vocal support for trans people should be the minimum standard.

tim walz's "fuck those guys" is a legitimately good slogan for any democrat running for anything this year or in 2028 or ever

The key to writing about Zohran in the mainstream press is that the entire article has to be written with the implication that he is doing something sinister and foolish even without really saying what he did wrong or why people should be mad about it

I like to imagine what if any other job was like being a Senate Dem Fire chief, not directing anyone to put out a fire: Here's how the fire works Heart surgeon, not performing heart surgery: Here's how coronary artery disease works Chef, not cooking a meal: Here's how lunch works

listen, no one's happy about this, but those friend recommendations for fake accounts don't create themselves people

So, the GOP strategy for the Texas Senate seat seems to be to just... baselessly insinuate that James Talarico is a pedophile, I guess?

the biggest coup the anti-trans hate movement has pulled is managing to reframe "trans issues" as fighting some change that trans people are trying to make, rather than an active hate campaign to roll back what trans people already had for decades and cis people did not notice was the status quo

I've said it before, but the big dividing line on this issue isn't Zionist/anti-Zionist or One State/Two State or Jewish/Gentile, it's people who think ending the Occupation is a moral imperative and people who think it's an acceptable status quo.

To the team that traded for me despite all my sex crime allegations and paid me a ridiculous sum of money while I sucked ass the entire time: I forgive you

my personal conspiracy is he saw the recent polling indicating his campaign was hurting james more than benson and that's why he's dropping out either way rip bozo

This is the document moderates are lining up to claim is proof of their worldview

Worth noting that this is actually a meta-question-- it's not "what policy do you think is good?" It's "what policy do you think other, imaginary people would think is good?" This encourages the "Everyone Think Like a Pundit Rather Than as a Citizen" disease that plagues political commentary.

Average American liberal shit but it's still fucking disgusting even if it's not surprising. She has 500k subscribers... “Why are we putting data centers in good communities when we could put them in Flint Michigan instead”

three members of *this caucus* just voted for the legislation that this caucus is now criticizing

It finally happened

optomistic 20th century sci fi writers: the future will have flying cars pessimistic 20th century sci fi writers: the future will be the torment nexus 2026: don't type the word "you" into the search bar or the machine will try to roleplay with you

this is a textbook example of pedantry. literally no one who works in these industries, or anyone who supports cannabis liberalization, or drafts the bills enabling state-level markets, is unfamiliar with this dynamic.

once again would love to thank Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn for pulling out all the stops to help Cuellar eke out a primary win as Roe was overturned

you've heard of a pittsburgh toilet but how about a pittsburgh theater?

tech companies to the SEC:

the real discourse is happening on Mastodon

the reason you hear about trans sports is because, after failing to create a culture war about bathrooms, GOP strategists all got together and figured out they could exploit the fact that every single adult spends an insane amount of money on their kid playing sports to attack trans people

this is just one more blatant example, and i’m glad some people are calling it out.

If you specifically wanted to tank McMorrow I don't know what you would do differently than tying your endorsement of Stevens to her

lol. lmao.

This is like 90% of American politics now, rich assholes who have no interest in progressive outcomes pretending progressive policies aren’t progressive enough.

Rip Barney Frank, you went out like a true Democrat, letting your petty bigotries tank the legacy of an otherwise exemplary career

God I love how this take has aged. Surely we have learned and grown from when we tried to assassinate Castro with an exploding seashell

man wonder what kind of stuff inspired the attack on the san diego islamic center

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below
