The way the word elites has become devoid of all meaning is interesting. It’s a placeholder for “someone I don’t like” and it fascinates me that the people who use it most are wealthy, went to “elite” schools and hold positions of power. Look in the damn mirror. You’re talking about yourself.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.

Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was repeatedly misquoted as having said he invented the internet and that was seen the eyes of many as disqualifying him from office? Simpler times. Today, Trump makes up lies equivalent to "I invented the internet" 30 times a week and no one bats an eye. Good job media

Cat Proof Christmas Tree

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

My sweet Violet, worthy successor to the mighty Peaches, happy belated Black Cat Day!

“Is the Earth actually round? In the NYT it depends on the columnist.”

Quick, someone poll the 4 things in this scary, scary agenda.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

This will really upset all those MAGA ppl who care about human rights

Republicans have no issues using they/them when talking about what one single person did to Charlie Kirk.

If you see anyone not mourning the death of Robert Redford the way you would like, please call their employer and get them fired!

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

It’s time for the white community to stop playing the victim & have an uncomfortable conversation about violence, parental responsibility & the families raising the thugs causing all the white-on-white violence in Republican-controlled cities. Maybe it’s their culture Did I do it right?

Any criticism of Patel and Bongino’s failure to solve crimes must also acknowledge past FBI director Chris Wray’s failure to podcast and sell supplements.

Mike Johnson?

So the Department of Defense is being rebranded to the Department of War..? What other rebrands are coming? The Department of Fossil Fuels? The Department of Disease? The Environmental Destruction Agency?

Donald Trump posted “Chicago is about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR” on his Truth Social account, raising alarms about Biden’s mental state.

Trump‘s recent diagnosis raises new questions about Joe Biden‘s health

Our Supreme Court of partisan hacks has finally decided that it's too burdensome to write pages of disingenuous rationalizations for their opinions and increasingly just saying "Because I said so"

It might be time for me to retire.

😂😂😂😂

The news that the family Golden Retriever, Gilbert, will lie in state at the Minnesota Capitol along with Melissa and Mark Hortman just broke me again. He failed as a service dog because he was too friendly. 😭

FTW.

Best image of the day:

One of the great weaknesses of the democracy coalition is that it's got a lot of people who think that if an election isn't tomorrow and isn't for president, nothing matters. The GOP build up its political reserves by planning and always voting in GOPers at every level in every election.

This ---- It's driving me mad.

Double.

Remember, we’re all in this together💙

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Trump vs. Musk is like watching the Hindenburg crash into the Titanic to the theme from “Benny Hill.”

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

how it sounds arguing with die hard capitalists.

GM Blue Sky Walkers! “I swear I don’t know where she keeps the treats. Please, I have a family!”
