Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Maroon background with multicolored confetti. In block white text, “Celebrating 500K checkouts on Libby”. Below that, a white bar with the Libby and QLL logos.

We opened our digital doors to the community on October 23, 2023 and this month… we hit 500,000 all-time checkouts. Five! Hundred! Thousand!

In less than two and a half years, we’ve circulated queer stories over half a million times.

We should avoid giving airborne diseases to each other

"the people at the protests aren't actually causing anything to change for the better" why not just write "i feel depressed today" it saves characters

i cannot emphasize enough that there is no better time to mask up.

preventing illness before it happens is your best bet as the nets meant to catch you disintegrate before your eyes.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

I got no popcorn left at this point.

It’s bad because of all the collateral damage (us) but also good because we have so little to enjoy in American politics

SLOW THE FUCK DOWN, ELON MUSK AND DONALD TRUMP. AMERICA'S GOING TO RUN OUT OF POPCORN

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

I hope there are no tariffs on popcorn because America is about to have a deficit.

Love being lectured on community by leftists who won't wear a mask

Stand up to him, get rewarded. Try to placate, he'll just demand more. The way is clear

DAV statement on the proposal to rename Veterans Day: No.

When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.

The moral of the story is this: do not experiment on yourself by snorting airborne viruses into your brain. Stay in the control group.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far

- Your health is an asset of the fatherland
- Illness is a failure or a moral failing
- You have a duty to maintain your health
- Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource
- Die for the fatherland

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Everything Donald Trump touches turns to shit. He’s the reverse King Midas.

Even though the market rises because of the tariffs pause, the cost associated with the rest of the world realizing they can’t count on us not to be nuts will be immeasurable and far-reaching. 🇺🇸

This past week, the Chinese learned

1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;

2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;

and

3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.

Highly useful information.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I’m filled with humility to be able to witness this historic moment. We are minutes away.

If you are not watching @booker.senate.gov right now, drop everything and turn him on. History in the making.

It's like how on paper the US should have been resilient to covid. But those tasked with helping facilitate public health at the highest levels (i.e. not public health officials) simply wouldn't do it .

Is there a single person who thinks political fundraising text messages do more good than harm to Democrats?
