Random reminder: Social justice, which Democrats fight for, includes economic justice. Anyone trying to claim otherwise is just mad that they're not the sole or primary focus of overall justice efforts.

I had a neurospicy acquaintance with MS, who did freelance art. Her style was similar to what early AI slop produced. Her commissions dried up. She became a couch surfer, depressed, lost her insurance and access to her meds. Then killed herself. Every AI data center should burn for her pyre.

always disorienting when you say it out loud that minnesota is still under occupation

The US is traumatizing thousands of kids in detention camps. But we are also traumatizing *millions* of kids who are in hiding or fear their parents being snatched. Like how we have tens of thousands of kids who have survived school shootings, and a whole generation shaped by active shooter drills.

Trump confessing that he posted the racist video and that the White House lied when they claimed a staffer posted it.

People on here: “Democrats are terrible at broadcasting their wins and are failing at youth vote outreach!” Kamala Harris: “OK, I’m turning my campaign-headquarters into a youth-focused media outlet focused on progressive political news and accomplishments.” People on here: “NOT LIKE THAT!”

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

well there you go then

TWIN CITIES Armed Citizens Against Tyranny is a HONEYPOT action. No one in the Twin Cities, including the MN Gun Owners association, knows anyone supposedly in this group. Local orgs are STRONGLY urging folks to STAY AWAY from their planned "protest." acatusa.com

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

The US president’s attempted Greenland grab has succeeded in turning Europeans solidly against his country, the pollster’s latest survey found. Large majorities in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Great Britain all declared an unfavourable opinion. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

the last two Popes went out of their way to call this man an immigrant hating freak and a fake Catholic. Bless his heart for going to Italy expecting to have a normal one❤️

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

Maybe we need to take a different approach: who in this administration is *not* in the Epstein files?

It's always "Democrats failed to win over a huge number of voters" and never "a huge number of voters made a really stupid fucking decision even when all of the evidence that it was a stupid fucking decision was thrown in their face over and over and over again."

The fundamental difference here between people like Evans and myself, I'm realizing, is that they seem to work under the assumption that people who stayed home in 2024 or even voted Trump are theoretically good people who just need the right incentives or messaging. And I just don't!

RIP to every third party in the last 100 years but I'm different.

Awfully tired of being lectured on how Democrats are "spineless" by people who apparently don't even understand how the US government is structured. ESPECIALLY tired of being lectured by people who think the solution for this is to stop voting for Democrats entirely.

you know something is monumentally terrible when they actually delete it and do the "blame a staffer" duck! this is not an administration that ever pulls this, their whole thing is "yeah and we meant it and fuck you"

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

My transport preferences, when available: 1. Public transport (in NYC, Chicago, other towns with robust options) 2. Taxis 3. Manned rideshares 4. Funny LED-spangled bicycle carriages blasting 80s rock 5. Pedal-powered mobile bars, also blasting 80s rock .... 1,583,612. "Unmanned" rideshares

The fuck it was

Aside from the message, which I support, his control of his instrument is impressive

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

Feels like it's important to point out that a not insignificant chunk of what would have been liberal Gen Xers died in the '80s and early '90s, before the treatment cocktails were really a thing.

Wishing former Capitol police officer Harry Dunn the best in his run for Congress. If anyone deserves to win, it's him. time.com/7368907/harr...

I’m betting Comer will suddenly lose interest in this hearing.

Broke: voting for the lesser evil Woke: not voting Bespoke: voting for maximum incompetence

Anyone using "Truly, what's the worst that could happen?" as a reason to vote for someone for *any* political office in 2026 is a fucking wrecker.

Jesus Christ, at a certain point Gen Z has *got* to give up on this weird combination of antipathy and malaise that seems to be the only way so many of them are capable of engaging with politics.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov is laser focused on holding this corrupt administration accountable and bringing everyone connected to Epstein’s crimes to justice. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

As insane as it seems now, what this line of thought actually reveals is just how much of the political world fundamentally thought of 2016 as primarily an election about your view of Hillary Clinton, with Donald Trump mainly an instrument of passing judgement on her, not important in himself

Anarchists: Oh so you think a system of power abusing people is bad? Have you considered that any formal system of power can be abused? Normal Guy: Can't informal systems of power be abused too? Anarchists: Get fucked.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Hear me out: intermittent fasting, but for social media.

Ehm. The entire West Coast is on mail ballots and most of us get them in well before Election Day. What happens in the rest of the country won't have much, if any, effect on how we vote. And since USPS is fucking with postmarks, even E day-mailed ballots might not matter.

I do feel like it's worth reminding folks that racists have *already* bombed/massacred entire neighborhoods full of people they don't like. How did they pull off camps for ~120,000 Japanese Americans? They can do it again. And they *will* try to. It's just not certain how successful that will be.

Gonna start asking the anti-Democrat dipshits who they're voting for in their state and local races. Oh, you mean your totally serious favorite third parties aren't running candidates for those? Whyever not?

It really is this simple. Everything Chris Hayes has said should be interpreted through this lens. He is, at most charitable, a very stupid boy who thinks having a degree makes him smart.

If you failed to see that Donald Trump was a shambolic avatar of the GOP's id in 2016, or did but refused to acknowledge so because you wanted to get your dunks in on HRC, you have no opinion worth contributing to society.

FTR, MAGA copium these days is insisting all these emails are fakes or that Epstein was lying about being in contact with Trump. The "secret anti-pedo spy" obsessives think mails like this are Epstein trying to get ahead of Trump turning him in by implying they were still best buds.

Well Compensated Pundit In “If The Facts Don’t Support The Discourse, That’s The Fault of The Facts” Shocker

Here's a cartoon from, as you see, 1911. What Dr. Plait says is not new news.

RFK, jr. is the worst person you ever met at a party in california, patel is the worst guy you ever encountered at the gym, bondi is the worst person you ever met at church, bessent is the worst person you have ever met at a conference, all these people are the worst versions of every stereotype

lol let ‘em keep goin’.

imagine being the guy who makes international news for picking a fight with a teenage girl and getting your ass beat

Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...
