Also, in a democracy, if 35% of the country are just hateful bigots that should not matter! The fact that the 35% has 95% of the power means that we are not a democracy. “Ok so you still need to compromise with them.” Not really. On what moral basis does the survival of the 65% depend on compromise?

The Republicans are doing a dummymander makes zero sense as a reason to not gerrymander back? It would mean we’d get even more house seats because it would be a strong D environment?

There are two ways to advance a particular set of policy reforms: adopt a performative neutrality on other topics or at least separate them from the proposed reforms, or make the case to be part of one coalition or the other and be a good soldier within it on other fights. Ezra Klein does neither.

man what the fuck is hakeem jeffries' problem

Imagine the access to information about the world one would have as President, if one weren’t possibly the least curious person to ever live

What level of Online Boomer Brain Damage is posting an obvious AI slop video in which YOU YOURSELF APPEAR?

I always admired Kaleb Horton's writing so much and am terribly sorry to hear of his death. It's a long list of singular writers who didn't have the careers they should have because of the people, places, and things that killed online media, but his name is right at the very top. I hate all of it.

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

so ICE is a jobs program for men who like to hit women and get away with it

hedonism 3

yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

normally i don't like these navel gazing regretful-trump-voter hunts but i do think it's interesting that even the dumbest people alive are sick of the sports gambling ads

It’s past time for Democrats to launch a serious perjury investigation into Emil Bove, who very clearly lied before Congress (unlike James Comey) to cover up his own egregious, unlawful misconduct (unlike Comey). His robes should not shield him from consequences for his brazen law-breaking.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

People keep phrasing it as "young men are lonely so they're turning to right wing grifters for belonging and comradery" when it's much more "right wing grifters are turning young men into atrocious human beings that no one wants to be around"

interesting to look back at events like the Christiana, PA incident, and most people today who aren't like batshit neoconfederates generally agree that the kidnappers instigated the shooting and the crowd was acting in self-defense en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christi...

I am being 100% earnest and honest when I say the solution to being a single guy who’s trying to have more success with women is to get more woke.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I will work at a company that is less woke regarding "watching pornography" during "work meetings." It's as if they didn't want me to know what kids should not be watching.

I've written about this before, but this is literally one of the unambiguously good things Biden did. It was a UAW event effectively, and Elon was fighting UAW organization at the time lol.

the alleged ICE shooter apparently had 6,000 hours in Rust, so I'm willing to believe he could have written "ANTI-ICE" on a bullet as a dumb fucking joke just to get attention

I used to be worried that these guys would be able to make hay out of every time some internet-poisoned weirdo shoots at somebody, but not really anymore. This constant whining and lying is fucking pathetic and I think most people either see that or don't care and move on

Please don't call it that

Logging off after 30 minutes on mute during a client call

Clapping like on Family Feud going "GOOD ANSWER GOOD ANSWER"

jesus christ it's refreshing to see a left-wing mayoral candidate actually take municipal budgets and revenue seriously. I feel like too often, people just kinda handwave this stuff away and say "tax the rich" without actually doing that.

that path has already been chosen. do you want to fucking win or do you want to be crushed

it's just a fact. you can't have a global hegemon who every few years is at risk of electing a lunatic government that will undo treaties, start murdering people in international waters on a whim, stop aid programs, and slap wanton tariffs on the world capriciously. we have no credibility anymore

I bought this and have so far flushed 1,786 billiard balls, I don't even use it for bathroom stuff

Chotiner practices the ancient art of "follow-up questions" and "pointing out obvious lies"

Grim that anyone is getting mad at this post thinking it means “America First,” like the only critique of American exceptionalism would have to be an American exceptionalist one

Well there was a Buzz Lightyear movie that implied lesbians existed so now I hope you understand

people will say "this shows it's a bad slogan" and no what it shows is that a bipartisan ratfuck can kill a good idea

The thing about huckleberries is, once you've had fresh, you'll never go back to canned.

We're gonna need like three Hagues

New antidepressant ads on PlutoTV, recession indicator

the best part of that argument is essentially just openly admitting that they want their powerful friend protected from any consequence even if he’s guilty

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Xing Xing is my Moo Deng. Love for Moo Deng is fleeting and based solely on baby animals being cute. Xing Xing looks like a nasty pervert in a monkey mask and I would die for her

lol go to :38 to see what DHS calls this dipshit being “thrown to the ground”

neera tanden has been consistently wrong about everything forever shes the Cleveland Browns of publicly having ideas

this exists it is called thinking

I desperately need just one of the spiteful maniacs in national politics to answer the question: what do you want. Without mentioning The Other Guy please articulate what you want the future to look like. What do you want.
