what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”
DC is, flatly, owed statehood after what they have been through under this man to make sure this shit never happens again
once again I am asking for a democratic party that actually does what republicans claim they will do
the biggest positive story on climate is that it doesn’t seem to matter how much of the world is run by reactionary fascists: the rise of solar is unstoppable
this is why keeping corruption out of government is not some sideshow, it’s fundamental to effective governance
if you cannot trust the people in charge of public health because “they changed their story due to bribes” is a legitimate inference, that is a crisis all on its own
when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant
none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace
a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it
b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents
a) ossoff's whole "bring it, dipshit" attitude is exactly the right response to trump's election shenanigans
b) good lord has he ever leveled up as a political communicator, I continue to think he's a very serious 2028 contender if he wants it
I know a lot of the focus here has been on the Dems who voted not to cut aid to Israel but I think “the majority of the caucus voted to cut aid” is a monumental sea change in Dem politics and the movement here is only going in one direction
this is the most Dem support Israel will ever see again
this is the closest ICE has ever come to saying "yeah we just murdered a guy"
pickett's charge is one of the stupidest military maneuvers ever ordered and I do not have to die on that hill because so many confederates did it for me
you don’t have to say nice things about lindsey graham
we are past that cultural moment, largely thanks to the man he knew was one of the worst people alive and deliberately enabled at every turn
he was a bad person and did awful things and you can just be honest about it
give these men complimentary tickets immediately
evelyn normielib is real and she is coming to a primary near you
I cannot count the number of conversations I’ve had with normal offline liberals that would be TOS violations over here
nobody should use twitter (you don’t have to use bluesky! just not twitter!)
but very specifically journalists and entertainment reporters using it has been astoundingly corrosive for our civil dialogue, because we have completely lost any semblance of “saying this is unacceptable”
fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary
because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them
the chuds understand ‘what if a man was Large’
the chuds understand ‘what if a man was Woke’
the concept of a man who is both Large and Woke continues to break their brains
I’m not thrilled that apparently the secret to success in basically every field right now is “be really good at short form video”
if this is actually the case there isn’t anyone who would appreciate this ghoulish maneuver more than McConnell himself so you can’t say they aren’t honoring the man
one side's voters care about sexual assault and one side's voters don't and while I understand that "impossible to say whether this is good or bad" is the standard for the paper of record I think it's clear which side has the moral high ground here
one of the most important things you need to do when developing a new product, especially in tech, is sit down and think about how it can be misused by bad actors
and nowadays it sure seems like the bad actors are less “people to be guarded against” and more “the target customer base”
cabo verde held both world cup finalists to a draw across 90 minutes and almost took argentina to penalties, easily the best performance anyone has put up against either team all world cup
this administration is so corrupt even the teleprompter guy is making six figures on insider trading
cooked, low energy, things of that nature
in all seriousness: I’m not going to say we aren’t in trouble because we are obviously in trouble
but whining about the SAVE Act is not the act of someone with a coherent plan to steal the elections and when he tries it’s going to be a haphazard shitshow
the founders did not foresee every problem the nation would face, because they lived hundreds of years ago and also because many of them were awful slaveholders
but they knew men like Donald Trump and they were extremely clear that such men should never be President
