I can't believe I'm being PERSECUTED for who I am (a person who commits crimes)

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

ive decided that i genuinely do not understand the current right wing ideology at all. no idea what you could get out of it that would make you feel good about yourself or the direction of the world you occupy. just really bizarre stuff

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer 1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else 2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

I'll say it: I would LOVE to play a game where I go after Klan members.

fuck ice airing commercials during dynamite, let em know: help.hbomax.com/us/Feedback/ tbsnetwork.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/req...

Tell me with a straight face he's wrong here

It rules to be on the left and be repeatedly proven right about capitalism and then be the only political group to not benefit from being proven right about capitalism.

A lot of speculation about how things got so Stupid and Evil and I think one reason is we've collectively been too tolerant of Stupid and Evil for too long

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Reading the Immortality book and once again wondering what Manon Gage and Charlotta Mohlin are up to and why the hell aren't they being cast in everything

We need everyone back in the office because we want the serendipitous magic that only happens when you let humans get creative together and also we're replacing all of you with an AI machine that can only do things that it's seen done before

I'm not right wing but some of this "woke" stuff is a little over the top [6 months later] Slavery was fine. Your city is under martial law

WWE tried this minor league production vs AEW H2H before and got their asses beat so bad Paul Creative lost his job, so now they're freelancing the gig to a show nobody even watches unopposed, hoping to rally their Universe to Stand Up For WWE against the great threat that is anyone else existing

Is the cost of living crisis getting you down? -we should give another billion to israel for child murder -another 100B to ICE for kidnappings -send the troops to DC to do policing -cut 800B in medicaid america first btw

"The Making of the Perfect Martini" by Guy Buffet (2000).

Seems to me the thread running through all of American history is we could've avoided a lot of problems by being harsher on evil sooner

(living in a country where the most successful people are obscenely rich and shameless perverts and psychopaths) Time to teach my children to be honest and study hard in school

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

Big Money turning to fascism not because they needed protection from socialism but because they were bored and poisoned their brains with social media is the story of this century I think

"BOZO. EAT DUST. THIS BAG TWO-THIRDS AIR."

Chuck Schumer is my least favorite human being!

When Republican voters surprise pundits, there's always a spate of opinion pieces arguing that we must take the time to understand the wants and desires of said voters. Apparently, when Democratic voters do it, the response is to say they're unserious people who need to grow up. Interesting.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

brb writing a breathless Washington Post article asking if my local sports bar is a bubble because most of the customers enjoy the same football team

Never in my lifetime has the Democratic Party been as much as a ghost ship as it is today. Incredible there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Power is just sitting there and the only thing guarding it is fossils like Chuck Schumer

I heard Stephen A. Smith tell CNN yesterday that "people are afraid they're going to lose their job for messing up a pronoun" and it really amazes me how many people don't realize they are awash in intentional propaganda designed to make them afraid of the wrong things and angry at the wrong people

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

Loving the right-wing turn towards “Why’s everyone always so worried about Money, and Possessions, these days…” strangely coinciding with the big man tanking the economy

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

It’s sad this is what it takes but when American society is dominated by “I only care about my money” or “I don’t care at all. It doesn’t affect me” fucking with people’s money is the one thing that can unite us. The selfish people are mad and the idc crowd is affected.

the Last Crusade prologue, casting Robin Williams in Aladdin, what are other great decisions an individual work made that had disastrous knock on effects for the culture?
