borrowed money from the mafia gave them my landlords contact info since we are in this together 💖

this but landlords should be held accountable for their tenants' bad ideas

Kamala Harris on MSNBC boasts of having been the Democrats’ talent spotter. So Maddow asks about th fastest rising star, Mamdani—& Harris won’t even say his name. Dodges endorsement. “I support the nominee.” But Schumer & Jeffries she praises for standing up to Trump. Hallucinatory malpractice.

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

A couple of my friends are watching The Wire, which is a great show, but time has only made it even funnier that one of the plot throughlines is "there a lot of Good Police in the department who can't do their jobs effectively because there isn't enough money for policing in the budget"

So Ebay Ireland has suspended our store, deleted all the listings which took us hours to photograph and post. We appealed, but to no avail. The shop is permanently banned from ebay Ireland and they will not give us a reason why. They will also keep all the money from the sales for 120 days or more

Finally, a bold message of resistance from the Dems

"Maybe the billionaires will save democracy." Well, now I never need to hear from this idiot again. That's just politically disqualifying

75 years ago today, the Internal Security Act became federal law in the US, requiring communists to "register" with the Attorney General, and banning them from federal employment. It also excluded tens of thousands of immigrants on a political basis.

it's incredible to be judged harshly by guys like that. all of them grappling with incredible personal demons. drug addictions, alcoholism, rage, narcissism, painful daddy issues, mommy issues. stephen miller is so full of self loathing he once painted on hair before a TV appearance. fix yourselves!

Again SNAP is a conservative, business-friendly and nearly impossible to scam program to deal with the fact that produce rots, the only change it needs is to get much much bigger and apply to more people

i hate to say it but favorite kind of anecdote in a story about terrible people who work for trump is one where trump himself remarks on how terrible they are nymag.com/intelligence...

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

have enough people considered that these folks are all incredibly dumb, insincere & cynical, that Democrats listening to elitist imbeciles like this and giving them staff positions is WHY they are aimless & adrift as a party and is absolutely NOT a potential solution to their electoral woes

You think that's bad, imagine being a fan of a team with a QB pushing 40 and they trade a future first to move up so you assume it must be for Lamar and instead they take a project pass rusher who's injured all the time even though they drafted one of the best pass rushers in the league last year

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

Going to be an especially spooky Halloween this year!

Abortion is THE LEADING fundraising cause for Dems. For him to come out against it shows something dark on the horizon because it means he's thinking he's got even larger money willing to pay him off that he can skim and that shit is fucked. He might even be looking at a third party Technocrat party

Here's the thing, Ezra is now promoting going pro-life in places where pro-choice ballot initiatives did better than Dems. This is not a coincidence, he's got a motive because that's such a hyper specific fuck up, and I can only assume it's to cash in on the most expensive house races next year.

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

Palestinian-Italian journalist / academic Rula Jebreal:

I think a major part of elite identity is a strong, evidence-free belief that the masses are Stupid and can be molded easily and without consequence to noticing the molding

Suprise! Ferociously anti-trans gubernatorial candidate in WI following trans porn accounts since 2018. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

There needs to be a real reckoning for not only those corporations but everyone involved. They need something real to cry about for once.

LOL

dudes rock

...apparently he tweeted about it several days ago. it seems weird that The Economist purposely hid his name from readers. unless of course they knew that readers might already be aware of Jəsse's long history of bias on this issue...

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

If Hitler had challenged the western banks that financed him they woulda had him killed by '38 but since he killed communists and poor people they let him do whatever. that is how this world works

Trump is trying to take on the pharmaceutical industry and is going to realize that he does not have anywhere near the power he thinks he does. He can do anything to the passive, stupid populace of America but the corporations are gonna pull the choker chain around his neck.

Marx failed to consider the capitalists being so fucking addled and stupid that they ban vaccines and tylenol. Capitalists vaccinate their fucking CATTLE.

this is the funniest possible way to describe GWAR

knowing they are capable of framing stories in this way makes it even more conspicuous when they dont cover anti-trans claims similarly

when someone asks me why I'm watching Andor over and over and which episode I'm watching:

they're calling it "one of the decades most powerful reaction images"

When you see results like this to public pushback and then you see establishment Democrats sucking up to the Trump Administration you realize that they really are going along with all of this because they prefer it to angering their own wealthy donors (and perhaps also support its goals)

genuinely crying at this one

This is because Johnson and Johnson has PR worms at every newspaper on payroll and not because of any noble reason They are gonna sue his pants off

Because our leaders then spent post-2008 pursuing varying degrees of austerity, creating a limp and disempowered state incapable of responding to pressing political questions, a bunch of morbid outgrowths emerged (Brexit and the post-Obama backlash being the best examples) (cont.)

To give a schematic overview of the past decade, the ZIRP era empowered Silicon Valley to build wealth and infrastructure equivalent to micro-states, which our neoliberal leaders, allergic as they are to the idea of state intervention, were all too happy to facilitate. (cont.)

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Baseless theory: This was a test run to see if they could successfully go after Taylor Swift and it bombed horrifically.

donald trump is going through full brandonization at an alarming rate

Conservatives love to encounter a very basic tenet of Christianity that's incompatible with conservatism and go "this sounds like something my BITCH WIFE made up"
