the reason dsa candidates are winning is because theyre saying theyll do actual things to make peoples lives better and identifying billionaires as an obstacle to those things, its not super complicated or anything

The purpose of the Iran deal was to remove the one thing (gas prices) that was intruding in the alternate reality cope that Trump and his supporters live inside. It might even work. He can convince his voters of literally anything other than the first number on the sign at the Mobil station.

they have yassified Ben's Chili Bowl

in 2029, the woke president will be sending armed goons to Greenwich, CT to arrest everyone who looks like they've committed tax fraud

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

world cup schedule makers to me today

There's a high chance that the government are doing nothing about Musk because he and his companies run through the military-security apparatus (SpaceX, StarLink) in ways we aren't even aware of, which raises serious questions about allowing any private individual to amass that much wealth & power.

The ICE raids didn’t lead to wider anti-immigrant violence in the US because American right wingers don’t participate in politics, they watch it on TV. Their main belief is “I should not have to do shit,” their reaction to Minneapolis was “I wouldn’t go outside to do politics unless you paid me”

Goddamn. RIP

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

So what I'm getting from this article is that some people leave red areas due to real life threats to their safety & some people leave blue areas because of something make-believe they saw on tv & also so they can say the n word in public without looking around first but they pretend its about taxes

shorter Callais: Racism is legal if it's done by the Racism Party

jesus christ

i can fix her

it's bad that the Secretary of Defense of the US is a nazi

i don't care about platner one way or another can everyone just shut up

the fucking gall of this woman, jfc

Someone should create an economic system that incentivizes the production of useful goods and services instead of scams and swindles

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

imagine being at 60 Minutes for a week and firing Scott Pelley

It’s such a pathetic sign of the weakness of their whole project that they won’t even fight their own battles. You guys wanted to run the show! Do the fucking news! People in newsrooms disagree all the time you have to fight to show your ideas are better! But no, they just demand obedience. Lazy.

in previous generations, I don't remember business news outlets reporting breathlessly on the public policy views of Connect Four millionaires

I am absolutely terrible with names. There are people I've worked with for a decade (not closely, obviously), have no idea what their name is when I see them at a meeting.

this is fucking crazy

The thing about the IRS settlement is that it is not a binding contract in any sense of the term, and this will not legally prohibit any audit of the Trumps. The only thing that would keep a future IRS from engaging in those actions is a question of political will, and twas ever thus

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

The fact of the matter is that this man sincerely believes the Constitution protects right wing priorities and does not protect — and in many cases, outright prohibits — left wing priorities.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

SORRY THESE ARE LATE I WAS BUSY IGNORING REALITY IN THE HOPE OF EXPERIENCING A BRIEF MOMENT OF HAPPINESS

Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school. thisweekinworcester.com/exclusive-ai...

disturbing reports that donald trumps economic policy is exactly as bad as anyone who knows anything said it would be

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
