The caveat here is that this poll surveyed registered voters. The poorest Americans have the lowest voting rates. So this is presumably an undercount of the real problem, even it much of the data is still shocking. People with disposable income don't need to adjust their spending in any serious way

One of these men will betray him this night....

rather than do the holiday discount price, I went with this one on the off chance that I win and can get some of my favorite historical onions. Maybe even "CIA unveils new ghetto drugs for 2004" or possibly "I hope my baby don't come out all fucked up and shit" if I get extra lucky......

talk about a plot twist....

This is a really terrible answer, to be honest. On par, but really fucking bad. "Taking rights away"? "It's not bigoted?" The only people who've suffered their rights being taken away in California under Newsom are the trans kids he's pretending to care about.

Hyper political, super online people like you and I can read this and spot the bullshit immediately. Hey, this isn’t what the left is! Your average Atlantic reader, though, what context are they supposed to have for any of this.

It felt like the most dystopian late stage capitalist bullshit ever. The DPRK tech workers aren't even doing good work, they're working like 10+ jobs each. It's essentially just an insanely inefficient wealth redistribution, which only works because the US won't tax these stupid tech companies. 5/5

There really needs to be a study done on the sort of people who are incapable of understanding why someone would be angry at foreign occupation and military rule and displacement. You did this to them and now you're acting like the victim. Fuck off.

"You wouldn't download an oil tanker"

wow, it's the Iraq AUMF debacle all over again, only with transgender people in the crosshairs instead of Iraqis. Back then, Dems assured us they were taking our concerns seriously and supported republicans anyway. Same playbook, same Dem excuses, and innocent people will die because of it

You got HPV because your parents refused to vaccinate you? You may be entitled to payment and compensation...

You will be visited by three spirits.

Me making my bed: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck. Me laying in it: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

BlueMAGA: "If you don't like what Dems are offering then don't vote!" also BlueMAGA: "Fuck you non-voters, Kamala Harris would be president by now if you had voted for Dems you don't like"

it is always very strange to me when someone claiming Jewish heritage tries to drive traffic to their substack page. I joke all the time we are living in our own parody world, so I think this is the part of the timeline where we see Krusty the Klown's "dump truck full of money" scene play out

Following Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel’s participation, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has withdrawn from the contest. The announcement split the screen between Israel’s performance and scenes of bombardment and starving children in Gaza. #Spain #eurovision #genocide

One senior ICC expert also ruled out that ICC judges would accept Israel’s challenge to ICC jurisdiction. "Israel is more likely to uphold the ceasefire than the Appeals Chamber is to invalidate the arrest warrants," the expert said, sarcastically.

*meeting your friends that seem to like me* i bet they smell my friends

Centrist Dem believes that he can convince republicans to switch party. Just because it hasn't worked in the history of ever, maybe this time it will finally pay off.....

also, I've tried therapy and spouse weaponizes that against me when I have objections to how I am treated "Go tell your therapist" in a condescending tone, or today's special "you NEED a psychologist" because I asked to be allowed to answer the questions I was asked. I think I need a lawyer 1st....

yes you should be mad at democrats voting to confirm a fascist's choice to pervert the courts. how is this controversial?

"THIS IS NOT ABUSE" screams the person who started the day calling me "trashy" for not picking up a couple scraps of paper where I've been putting in new flooring and won't let me get any word in edgewise before screaming at me some more

hi i'm a billionaire my company, which will definitely not murder everyone, is named SauronMurdersEveryone Inc after the beloved jrr tolkien character sauron whom i have always admired for his disruptive use of world changing technology and for murdering everyone

Gavin Newsom stans stop being raging transphobes challenge

did anyone check if this rat still has both its kidneys?

I can't believe my massive dumps have been transmitted in plaintext all this time....

Attacking pre-school teachers because they don’t think Palestinian kids should be bombed to death? Declaring NYC’s first Muslim mayor “our enemy?” Fomenting hatred, even within the Jewish community? You’re not making anyone safer.🧵

Has now hit the town’s Facebook group, forcing us all to decide whether to pull the kids out or not. And that’s what organised crackpot culture war campaigning has always been: it deliberately shits through your letterbox, and then forces *you* to deal with their mess.

hey so even if you do sweep Dems into power again all those people who are openly calling for your murder will still exist so what is your plan because last time Dems were in office they didn’t do anything about it and now we’re here and my god we can’t keep doing this why do you refuse the lesson

Anthropics employees also self-report "help, I need to find a better job before this place goes under when the bubble bursts"

If your green energy involves deforestation it's not green.

The Trump administration must put Secretary Hegseth into the dunk tank at a national carnival and allow the American people to blow off some steam

what's happening here is a conservative podcaster is using her daughter to start a Dreyfus Affair with a trans instructor who has done nothing but just say "hey you have to follow the rubric for the assignment, we're all adults here"

I realize that my reaction to todays takes is very personal, and I’m trying to not go berserk on here, but you guys have got to be fucking kidding me. Just defend educators. Protect trans women. Those are base level requirements for things to get better.

The two longest military occupations in the history of the postwar era (1945-now) are the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza and the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights. Why would Syrians hate Israel? Well.

we once had the audacity of hope, but nothing fundamentally changed....

what kind of a "cancelled performer" does Louis CK have to be before publishing houses and especially the Hollywood system stops giving him multiple chances to redeem himself?

It's only true apartheid when it comes from the apartheid region of South Africa, otherwise it's just sparkling ethnic segregation.

he's a vile and violent bigot towards specifically trans women... oh that is so beyond WRONG.

3.5 hours after putting it in the oven, it finally finished cooking.... usually these things take AT MOST 1.5 hours, now I wonder if I need my oven serviced....

I have never made a pumpkin pie that took so damn long to finish cooking. 2.5 hours and still not done....

National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt. They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.

bailing out SVB (beyond the usual $250k per account) was such a bad move, in terms of policy and politics. People–supposedly guys good with money–that irresponsible shouldn't get made whole.

People are always like real job stability is in medicine or the law, but the most secure job is actually white guy writes op-eds about how he’s sick of the minorities.

These are the people that we have agreed to let do our thinking for us, make our decisions for us. We assume that they are smarter than we are, more sophisticated and refined. It’s not true. They certainly are not more moral than we are. We must take back our power.The elite are weak and incompetent

I think it's cool and important that the two main literary categories are "making stuff up" and "not making stuff up"

How do Democrats have SO MANY members who oppose their own party's policies? If a House Dem can't even agree with Obama on something big like a nuclear deterrence deal, why do they get to set Middle East policy for the House caucus?

it’s trans day of remembrance, and once again i am asking people to give a shit about trans people *before* they’re dead

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview. If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

if youre a congressional leader and you wont publicly criticize trump out of fear, please step down and give your seat to someone who will do it. because this is the job. this is the fucking job.
